Yes of course, I remember that area from way back before I was a little kid in High School at Santa Ana High back in the 60's One of these days we can swap stories of that adventurous era.
We may have already met, my highschool was in southern California (where I entered the Faith) and my univ. studies were in SanFrancisco & in Humboldt County.college --until I moved to Panama
Really liked your comments on the "promised land". Even this unrepentant atheist can certainly relate. Accepted symbolism masks so much of reality that it becomes almost unrecognizable.
Hey, art! Alláh-u-Abhá! I had a question about God in our Faith: how do we reconcile our understanding that it's the same God of all people with the reality that there are many different conceptions as to who or what ‘God’ is in different Religions?

Hey, art! Alláh-u-Abhá! I have a question for you about something important: a friend of mine and I were having a discussion about the Seven Laws of Noah. He tells me that those Laws are binding on all non-Jews. His opinion, however, is that non-Jewish religions (the Bahá’í Faith in particular) do(es) not satisfy the requirements of the Laws. I counter that they do. Tell me, art, what do you think?
Arthra, Alláh-u-Abhá! I just wanted to let you know that I'm so eternally, so deeply in love with my faith in God and in Bahá’u’lláh as His Messenger for our Day and Age!
Hey, art, Alláh-u-Abhá! I hope everything in your life is going smoothly! Listen, I have a dying question: as a Bahá’í, how would you feel if you fell in love with a beautiful woman, but discovered that she was a Christian?
