  Gurvinder, you just don't know when you're well off. While mere secular 
guarantees of rights like the US Constitution are routinely ignored by the US 
Supreme Courtiers, the "Sikh 2nd Amendment" (the kirpan) is recognized by the 
Supreme Court, and Sikhs may be armed even in schools. If only there had been 
Sikhs on those four hijacked airplanes... "That's not a knife... THIS is a 
knife!" Plus, I believe that if you truly understand the symbolic meaning of 
the kirpan doctrine, you'll see that it actually refers to weapons of all 
types. 
  So get back to the Sikh scriptures and find us some substitute scriptures 
for the rest of the Bill of Rights, we'll all convert, and "problem solved".  
Let us know when you're ready to go the Supreme Court. Bill Walker... um, I 
mean Bill Singh.

P.S. re your point 8, religions do evolve, as do other viruses. But you have 
to ask yourself what they evolve to do...
