    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I accept that this god exists, and that there are messengers that communicate that god's standards. Aside from the thread of consequences, why should I consider that god's standards to be moral?

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Thank you for the clarification. At least I think it was clarification. What I understand now is that by your beliefs: your god sets the standards for morality, that said moral standards are communicated to humans through messengers of that god that Shoghi's moral standards are aligned with...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    That is a very interesting statement. It implies that you think that an action is morally wrong only if the normative standards of one's society hold that action to be morally wrong. Is that what you intended to communicate?

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Is it your thinking that the morality that you and Shoghi share are universals? In other words, if someone considers divorce, or if someone has sex without being married is that person necessarily acting immorally?

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    So, it is not that you are necessarily innately moral, but that you saw behavior modeled, and that behavior appealed to you, so you are emulating it. And as it turns out, the behavior that you are modeling is congruent with the Baha'i model of moral behavior. Is that a fair statement?

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Why do you think that you have an innate sense of morality? I am not claiming that you don't. I am asking why you think that you do? Is it just because your religion tell you so? Or have you given any thought on your own?

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I don't know that you do. Most people don't hold opinions without at least some awareness of why they hold those opinions. Most people are aware of the contents of their own thoughts. Perhaps you don't Do you know why you held the opinions that you did then?

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Even setting aside it's logical failings and even setting aside it's ego-centered perspective, Pascal's Wager is a predatory "argument" designed to exploit the fears of the unwary or naive. If you don't use our anti aging cream you will get old and ugly and your mate will leave you. If you...

    The Baha'i version of Pascal's Wager? Yet another variation on the proverbial, "What if you're wrong?"
