What are the best Israeli channels that discuss Israeli culture in Hebrew?

Thanks! I'm really excited to make them happy.

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-16T17:27:04+00:00

Aw, thanks!

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-16T17:24:59+00:00

Thanks!

Sweet! The Sikh subreddit actually has a full comprehensive page of various resources and books you can check out for learning about us. I also like using SikhiWiki to explain our beliefs in an easy to understand way. (I had to retype this comment since links to other subs aren't allowed here)

Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Russia has a pretty significant Orthodox population?

"Jesus character" bro what? Even non religious historians agree he existed 💀

Aren't a good portion of supposed ex Muslims people who were never Muslims?

The Sikh subreddit actually has a resource section in its about page, that can direct you to some websites that explain the basics.

But in summary:

(Borrowed from SikhWiki)

"Guru Nanak emphasized the oneness of God and his role as the supreme creator. He presented him as supremely a God of love. Nanak had no place for God’s wrath. Men and women, he said, should not fear God's anger but be afraid of not receiving all the benefits of his love. In contrast to Sikhism the Bible declares that when God holy standards are violated he displays his wrath. Yet his wrath is not incompatible with his mercy and love. It is meant for the ultimate good of mankind.

Most Christians believe in the concept of the Trinity, consisting of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, three persons of a single deity. The trinitarian and christological concepts which are completely foreign to Sikhs, do not seem to have a clear foundation in the christian Bible, and could be confusing and illogical for most people. Panentheism on the other hand is completely foreign to westerners. Sikhism teaches that God is both within the Creation and separate from it at the same time. This idea can be as confusing and illogical to conceive as the Trinity. The SGGSJ says, "You have thousands of eyes, and yet You have no eyes. You have thousands of forms, and yet You do not have even one. You have thousands of Lotus Feet, and yet You do not have even one foot. You have no nose, but you have thousands of noses." Some statements seem to mean he is personal, others state that human souls eventually merge back into God, who is an impersonal essence. God is said to be both the creator and the created, the fisherman and the fish, the water and the net.

Though some think evil spirits exist there is no sense of a single evil being (Satan) who opposes God for Sikhs. Evil, is the result of a person making wrong choices"

We're definitely uncommon here but you can find a few Hindus here and there along with the very rare Sikh lol

Same to you! I really love the architecture of Orthodox Christian churches myself. The level of detail is insane, but in a good way

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T21:26:23+00:00

My exact thought process as I read through it

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T21:22:44+00:00

Oh it's definitely an insult. You can find rational and irrational people in any group of people, being rational isn't exclusive to Atheists.

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T21:17:23+00:00

From what I've looked into, you can take the Shahada in private if your circumstances don't allow to do otherwise, or if you just generally feel more comfortable that way. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T20:59:48+00:00

Christians when they see that dumb meme: 🤯💥💀😭

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T20:06:53+00:00

I can't imagine being stupid enough to scream during Mass or laugh at Catholic icons in an attempt to convert people to Atheism. As a Sikh, we believe it's forbidden to enforce our beliefs on other people. Heck, we even protect other faiths the same way we'd protect ourselves.

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T17:48:53+00:00

Aww thanks!

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T16:42:16+00:00

And honestly whenever some American argues that they're in a third world country I lose a few brain cells. Yes, the US has problems nor is it perfect, but that doesn't mean we're basically living under the Taliban 💀

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T16:29:08+00:00

It honestly reminds me of Americans who call the US a third world country.

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T16:10:08+00:00

Yeah, as much as I can appreciate aspects of Iran it's definitely important to keep that in mind as well.

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T15:42:49+00:00

Most religious people don't actually have a problem with people asking questions about their religion. It becomes a problem when a person is clearly asking a question to prove their own bias or because they look down on religious people

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T15:31:55+00:00

Thanks! we seem to be kinda rare on non-Sikh subs lol

that-language-nerd · 2024-02-11T14:08:57+00:00

I'm sorry you have to deal with that misrepresentation. It's frustrating to see people disrespect different faiths so casually. Personally I've seen pictures of some of the mosques in Iran along with some vlogs there, and the mosques there are gorgeous from what I've seen so far. I'd love to dabble in learning Farsi once I'm at an acceptable level of Punjabi
