Yeah well it's each to their own when it comes to religion, I don't believe something like meat or alcohol can come between what an individual believes. End of the day, following a faith is for personal satisfaction, it's just a path with certain morals and ethics available, you don't have to follow that path 100% accurately to become a better person, you go through the paths in front of you and learn, sooner or later you make the right decisions.
Nobody has the right to say you shouldn't do this or that, an individual has the right to live his own life, have faith in his own beliefs. I don't believe one who drinks is going to hell, I'm sure in the days of the guru, if a man was to drink the Guru wouldn't be so judgemental to say...you drink alcohol, you'll not get my respect - that go against most of the ethnics they taught. I'm sure a Sikh with cut hair isn't in a lesser situation than someone who has uncut hair, that's ridiculous too - sorry to sound cheesy..but if God really did exist, it'd be a persons soul they'll judge rather than the aesthetic characteristics.
