Beware of men with six arms. Okay, my bad. That's Hindu, not Sikh. I'll see myself out, thanks.

But while I agree that John Klasen may be a little out of order and that needless death is always a tragedy, I have to agree with sailor1031 by saying that I firmly believe that all religion is contemptable, poisonous nonsense and that the world would be a better place without it. These people are actually murdering each other about issues that are utterly trivial, that in the real world don't matter the tinyest little bit. Just one more religion, just as crap, just as pointless, just as false as all the rest and just as important that you kill anyone who gets it even the slightest bit wrong.

We should show little maturity and wise ness. Disturbing general people and destroying our own property is really shame. Nobody is gonna get anything from this. One more religion crap. Stop this Please…… This is bad, very bad. We should show little maturity and wise ness. Disturbing general people and destroying our own property is really shame.

One more religion crap. Stop this Please……

The difference is that these people represent a low-caste. The indian govt should step in quickly and get a handle on the violence before it rips up punjab....but perhaps this is what they want. Manmohan Singh should step up. The Sach Khand is not the only sect that diverts from Sikhism by following a 'live guru'. The difference is that these people represent a low-caste.

Yes, the world would be a better place without faith-baseless beliefs stirring the pot; but a decent future with such nonsense removed from it will remain just as mythical if we are forced to co-exist with the socially retarded, whether they are atheist or not. John, it's the meaningless violence-mongering we are trying to get away from, and your attitude here - even if you are just spouting hate for the sake of it - suggests that the universal departure of religious self-deceivers would only leave a gap in your "thinking" that you would have to fill with some other target.

This ridiculous and quite inexcusable incident just serves to illustrate once again the total irrationality of religious belief, and the way this influences human thought and behaviour!
