    I'm all for censorship of any content as long as there is a sane process in which it is done.

    I'm a germophobe. Is anyone else?

    I'm not afraid of germs I just think it's gross to touch icky things. I'm constantly washing my hands trying to get the gunk of life off. We live in a messy world.

    How do you describe your practices as beliefs?

    The knowledge is like the understanding of who God is and what his plan for humanity is and what the afterlife is etc. I guess you could call it the "theology" part. If you're asking for specifics that's kinda hard since our founder wrote a lot of stuff. It's estimated his writings are the...

    Can a disinterest in life be rational or justified?

    The DSM calls it one. http://dsm.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596.dsm04 Which is what the court uses for locking people up for mental illness (my wife works for the county as a civil commitment investigator and has depression so I think I know what I'm talking about)

    My brother goes to AA and has been sober for 3 years now. I used to have an alcohol problem but I found religion and that seemed to work for me.

    How do you describe your practices as beliefs?

    For me faith has two components. Knowledge and worship. By knowledge I mean a spiritual knowledge not a scientific knowledge. It is more akin to belief. Whereas worship is more akin to practice. I think these two things are like yin and yang. Separate but intertwined

    Can a disinterest in life be rational or justified?

    All depression is what the op described. But what the op described could be something other than depression. Only an actual doctor can make that call.

    Can a disinterest in life be rational or justified?

    We believe that the next life is more favourable than this life but we also believe that we are called to serve humanity. We are promised a day very soon that the world will know true peace and it is our calling to strive to bring about this day. So while we do long for death, we also are happy...

    How do you describe your practices as beliefs?

    The Baha'i teach that the true essence of religion is belief in God. So even if I didn't pray or go to feast I would still believe in God therefore I would still have religion. Although I can't fathom how I could know God and not worship him. To me these seem like two sides of the same coin.

    Can a disinterest in life be rational or justified?

    "“The Mysteries of man’s physical death and of his return have not been divulged, and still remain unread… Were they to be revealed, they would evoke such fear and sorrow that some would perish, while others would be so filled with gladness as to wish for death, and beseech, with unceasing...

    Can a disinterest in life be rational or justified?

    The Baha'i faith says that one who truly understands the nature of things longs for death. I can't find any good quotes on my phone at the moment but its pretty deep stuff.
