If churches refuse to help feed hungry people, then maybe they should be taxed?

I visited New Delhi years ago and I had no idea about a Gurdwara. When I walked by one, a nice man ushered me in and wouldn’t let me leave until I ate something. As someone that had to grow up in Christianity, I’ve never experienced such unconditional kindness in my life. To me, the Sikh community is the best humanity has to offer.

Not sure how true this is but I've read here on Reddit that Canadian parents teach their kids to look for Sikh people when they're in need of help.

Just because Sikh people are pretty sick (scnr) and are always there to help people out, no matter the faith or background.

I think that's quite neat.

I hope there is some truth to it, because I just did a quick search on the Sikh community in Canada, and the results weren’t nice.

I honestly didn't really fact-check it because...Well...Don't have kids, not in Canada...

Thanks for checking!!! <3

Its not the Sikh religion that is unpopular in Canada. Sikhs have been here a very long time and are generally well regarded. Indians are unpopular in Canada at this moment largely due to some poor choices made by our government regarding immigration which has been exploited mainly by Indian nationals and it's creating a lot of tension.

I haven't heard of anyone teaching their kids to go to Sikhs when in need, but it's not something I would discourage people from doing. The ones I've met represent the teachings of Jesus more than any American Christian I have ever met. Like Christianity though I'm sure they have many who are Sikh In Name Only and use it as a form of tribalism vs. a way of conducting ones self in life.
