That might be good strategy, though I don't know if I have the lack of timidity or enough courage to do that. I always say "fine" to strangers, or say "hi" instead or say nothing at all because to me it seems like a meaningless ritual. If I know someone pretty well already and we are friends I...
I can do a little small talk, but it stops there. After that, I am lost. I don't know what to do without offending the person. I am an anxious kind of person in that regard, and am anxious in general interacting with people in social occasions. Then I want to leave the social occasion.
I'm not very good at social at purely social occasions in steering the conversation. I'm timid in social occasions in such matters. I have always been like that. I'm an autistic person that like most autistic people are not good dealing with social occasions. I'm like Temple Grandin, a famous...
I don't like small talk either. It's awful. I don't really like social occasions, unless we talk about things that really matter. I like to go Zoom sessions where we talk about Baha'i subjects. At one time I started a Zoom group that talked about the Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah, not very many...
I am an admirer of Einstein, though in his private life he had his faults, and he was not religious, and he didn't believe in a "personal God". He would say he believed in the God of Spinoza, who was considered back in those days beyond the pale among a number of Jews. Being not religious I...
Prophecies are not a good guide to determine if Jesus has returned since they can be interpreted a number of ways. The best way is "by his fruits" as Jesus says.
Oh, I thought maybe you had departed here, since basically you have no avatar. Like most of the time I can't access your profile, either. i don't know how people limit people to their profile, not that I want to learn that, because I don't want to limit my profile. I suppose if you have a pest...
Good passage from William Sears, and I love that video. Being there was like being in paradise, thought those terraces and some of those buildings were not there in 1982. I couldn't walk all those terraces now, anyway! I also think of the sacrifice of the Bab, and the amazing fact that they...
Why vote to make everyone believe the same thing? Because Constantine had the illusion that uniform beliefs were necessary for a unified Roman Empire. Everybody believing the same thing is not necessary for unity, and it is tyrannical.
That Nonreligious and Other would make up 49.4% of the people here is about what I find here. Nonreligious especially is out of proportion to the percentage of this group of people in the world. The way nonreligious is expressed in the poll should include spiritual but not religious, though...
Yes, like you said there are similarities, and it is more nuanced than @loverofhumanity said, I think he will agree with what I say here. You see, the message is tailored to each time and place, so there are definitely differences between all religions. There's the additional scholarly problem...

in the newest translation Abdu'l- Baha said:
Know that the attributes of perfection, the outpourings of divine grace, and the effulgences of divine revelation shine resplendent in all the Manifestations of God, but that the all-encompassing Word of God — Christ — and His Most Great Name —...
