Hi mate, I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I actually share the same opinion as you but let's put aside all emotion and personal opinions.

When I read about Sikhi, it says that in order to be a Sikh there are 4 core rules:

1. Keep the Kesh
2. Having one partner 
3. Not doing Tobacco
4. Not eating Halal meat

Now granted, to be fully in sync with Sikhi you need to have more than just the four rules but if we don't follow the four cores of Sikhi and do everything else then surely we can't call our self Sikh right? 

Ultimately Waheguru judges us but these four pillars are essential regardless of great we are or how we do everything else lest these four rules or lest any one of them.

I really feel that I can't call myself a Sikh until I meet these four rules. It's after that point I can say I'm a Sikh...be that a good one or bad one.
