    Muslims, Do you consider Zarathustra as a Prophet?

    The similarities are actually kind of ironic considering Baha'i comes from shiia and amadiyya comes from Sunni. Unity in diversity as the Baha'i say.

    Muslims, Do you consider Zarathustra as a Prophet?

    Islam is our only shared root. We are very similar in our aims though. We support their efforts to bring about a better future for humanity. I think we both manifest a large portion of the truth which is why we are similar.

    Bahai which is an offshoot of Islam says Zoroaster is a manifestation (prophet)

    How do you describe your practices as beliefs?

    My practices are commanded so they are my beliefs. Prayer is obligatory. We also have a gathering every 19 days that we are told we should do. Not sure if I am answering the question correctly.

    How The World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind

    I tried being atheist. My problem was that I kept seeing God in everything. I guess my definition of God was just not narrow enough :(

    Purism in Religions - You MUST do this to be Authentic!

    My religion says that we must all be united in what we believe. Denominations are prohibited. There have been a few groups to splinter away but they literally only have a handful of followers now-a-days. 99.99% of us are in the mainline branch. So in that sense everyone in my religion is a purist.

    An Act Of War!

    This thinking is, again, exactly what the Baha'i teach. Ha. The carnal self is "satan" and the true self is Godly.

    An Act Of War!

    I remember a comedian saying it would be eerie if we wore electric chair symbols around our necks. But that is essentially what wearing a cross around your neck is.

    Personal Shrines/Altars/Places of Meditation or Religious Introspection...

    Lots of religions have this concept. Bahai don't drink or do drugs. We can smoke but it is highly discouraged

    Question for theists about hell

    He is the returned Christ because he claims to be. I personally believe because my personal experiences with the faith are convincing. I'm not sure what bible believer means. It's a collection of books written by many people over thousands of years.

    How to become an atheist

    I consider myself mostly atheist. Meaning that most forms of God that atheists don't believe in, I don't believe in either. In my faith the essence of God is incomprehensible. Too often I find religions trying to anthropomorphize God into a bearded sky man.

    You Cannot Know God.

    All the above for me. Except Jesus is a manifestation

    You Cannot Know God.

    One thing I appreciate about the Baha'i faith is that we had 3 different people interpret our writings with the station of infallibility. It has greatly reduced the amount of conflict we have based on "context".

    You Cannot Know God.

    I've been enjoying them. They add a bit of character. (No pun intended)

    I don't like the term seeker

    I'm sorry that you feel that way I truly do. I hate that my faith causes that. But its what I honestly believe God said so please don't hate me too much.

    I don't like the term seeker

    Out of curiosity, what emotion does this cause you to feel?

    Confused With My Own Beliefs

    Spiritual capacity is a term bahais use to describe the souls ability to serve God. They follow Bahaullah because they feel it is the right thing to do. Validation of the manifestations is tough. The manifestations are usually rejected. One has to engage in independent investigation of truth to...
