    Meaning of Life?

    The meaning of life to me is in the Baha'i short obligatory prayers first line: "I bear witness, oh my God, that thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee". To interpret this, to know God, in my opinion, is to know the image of God within me, and to know this image I need to act like...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Speaking for myself, I didn't go about it that way. There is certain testing when I evaluate a Messenger to see if what they say is right on behalf of God. If there is still small residue of things that I don't understand and frankly if I was an unbeliever wouldn't accept, then on the strength...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    why do the teachings have to be exactly the same if the practitioners are spiritually trying follow God's will? How could they have modified them on a wide scale between the time they were written until the Qur'an came along? The verses that Muslims believe say the verses have been changed...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    what about the previous religions recognized by Islam, Christianity and Judaism? They are not true? Edit: Or perhaps since "islam" means submission to God, you intend that those of those religions that submit to God do accept Islam.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    Most Baha'is are not fighting other religions, and the Baha'i Faith is not intended as such. Other religions sometimes fight Baha'is. That is inevitable for any religion. Of course you know the fierce opposition to the Baha'i Faith in Iran for about 180 years. There are more Baha'is in...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    That's a safe guess since his avatar is a traditional depiction of what Jesus looks like. They are not retaining in North America and Europe. Most other places they are retaining.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    :):) Sometimes it's possible to know in my opinion. I believe I know to 99.99% certainty. No conflict I predict with @Heyo on this one or myself.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I think that most people don't use critical thinking in adopting a religion. Hopefully, they would. I believe that I have had experiences of God, but it needs to be verified as not just a strong feeling, don't you think? It either has to overwhelm you, or be backed up by outer evidence, in my...

    I love that thought.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    That is certainly true that it would apply. I hope that people apply some logic and reason also. I hope that that the facts will be investigated.

    It would be wonderful if you were the head of the Baha'i Faith.

    In my opinion @loverofhumanity shouldn't just be including "major" religions.

    Of course it won't. She didn't do anything wrong.

    This reply shows you have no idea what the Covenant of Baha'u'llah is at all. It has nothing to do with heterodox views. Either that or you are pretending for an audience that you don't.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I was just watching the first episode of "The Wire", and it's full of realistic life in Baltimore with a lot of profanity. This is what critics like. I only have a short life, so I'm not watching any more of this. It being in Baltimore is not enough. I don't want to watch the debased character...

    You have her. However, it is more along the lines of people being told about the Baha'i Faith, then investigating it if they want to ideally.

    Is a philosopher king/benevolent dictator preferable?

    I seem to remember that there was at least one Emperor of Rome who was a philosopher, who governed well and relatively benevolently. The was a series of "good" Emperors: The Five Good Emperors of Rome were a group of emperors who ruled the Roman Empire from 96–180 CE: Nerva: Ruled from 96–98...

    Interviewing @Debater Slayer

    I rate this post highly for being honest and informative. Also I loved your ability to question your former beliefs, and to independently inquire into what reality was. I disagree with you on a lot of stuff, but I think your spiritual journey is just beginning.
