Religion gave us the basic "Love thy neighbour" stuff.
Non-Relion gave us science.
That's a very simplified way of looking at it, but the most accurate.

What does this mean in plain English?
What did the crucifixion of Christ achieve when he was executed?
Anything achieved was done many years afterwards because he was resurrected.
You prove you're right. Otherwise, it's only a belief.
So god isn't finished with creating humans, he now wants to create a New Race. Because the previous one won't follow his messenger.
Does that sound right and logical?
I have no wish to prove he didn't get it from his mind. It's obvious he did get it from his mind. The problem is any of it true? He read something and changed it in his mind is my theory. You believe god or some divine feeling changed it, without any proof. I can point to the 100,000s of fake...
Flawed v not flawed is to be seen in the results.
Are all the true messages getting through? NO.
Are many false messages getting through? YES.
Is an Infallible All-Knowing and All-Wise god changinging it's Modus Operandi? NO.
Therefore a flawed method. Just saying it isn't doesn't provide a...
So I'll ask you. What does Bahaullahoffer as solutions to the crisis we face? Don't offer up we all follow him because that's meaningless, give us actual solutions. And where he says them.
We do face terrible times so I'll give you that. The solutions are obvious, where and what does Bahaullah say those solutions are. Don't offer we all follow him because it's meaningless. We want real solutions to the crisis we face.
We just keep doing things as we have been doing them and ignoring this "New Messiah" who is unable to make a dent in the old religions. In fact new ones are popping up all the time. Scientology, NEXVIM, List of new religious movements - Wikipedia
So just a mish-mash of events that can be made to fit at will.
And a lot of events that don't fit and ignored. For instance how much time did Bahaullah spend in Israel?
“Know thou that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things. Its evidences, as witnessed in all the peoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The...
He tells his followers he got it from god. In that one time meeting.
I'll agree it came comes from Bahaullah's mind, or imagination.
You have nothing solid to base your belief on. I have at least 100,000s of charlatans to prove the rest are charlatans.
You can't prove god exists, you can't even prove Adam, Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus existed.
What we can do is prove that a lot of the things written in the bibles are superstitious beliefs of Neolithic and Bronze Age Man. Such as;
Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Garden of Eden, Cain gets a wife...
So what are the prophecies in the bible that came true with Bahaullah?
Saying you fulfilled certain prophecies in the bible isn't exactly rocket science and there's the flaw.
I read Sears here. Audio:William Sears/Applying Christian Prophecy to Bahá’u’lláh - Bahaiworks, a library of works...
Rather than giving us a book. Tell us what prophecies and when they were fulfilled.
Apart from predicting future wars which is easy. Getting the exact dates, places, casualties, would be a great indication of a fulfilled prophecy.
Then the rise and fall of empires. Something that's been...
Science is fallible and that's the point of it. The endless task of learning more. Unlike bibles which claim to be fallible and about learning only what they tell you to believe. No decent scientists claim they believe in god because they can't get everything right.
Science looks at the...
There are good things in the bibles. Do not kill, rob, bear false witness, there are stories that teach us to love our neighbour, etc.
The original concept of religion being about a god is wrong.
