    Controversy over religious accommodation

    Not for me, no--of course not! I have no problem whatever with such a situarion. But the reason isn't clear why the individual in question seemed to have a problem. Peace, Bruce

    For those who believe in God -Why have priests?

    These days, nothing! :-) Which is why Baha'is believe in God but have no clergy of any sort. Peace, Bruce

    Controversy over religious accommodation

    What does 'work with women" mean? In the same room, such as performing a lab together? Or virtual association such as via two different computers? And what about attending a lecture together? Because the answer may depend on such a distinction. Bruce

    Do You Believe In War?

    By the authority of the Secretary of the Air Force at that time as an official representative of the US government in my chain of command.

    Can You Define This...

    That's a truly regrettable term--as well as very confusing to many Baha'is--because it can cause confusion with another term used by certain non-Baha'is. I suspect you would do better simply to ask whether folks think your opinions and beliefs are or aren't compatible with Baha'i teachings...

    science vs religious

    Many of us disagree: Science explains the HOW of things, whereas religion explains Who and why. Properly viewed, they are very much in harmony and compliment each other very nicely! Each needs the other, and indeed, one of the worst mistakes one can make is trying to use one in the...

    Do You Believe In War?

    Given that I've had official non-combatant status as a conscientious objector for nearly 44 years, this is hardly even a question! Bruce

    How to kill Satan?!

    >How can we kill satan? A red herring: God is One, Supreme, and has no equal or rival! There is thus no "devil" out there competing with Him or trying to “get us.” And "satan" merely refers to our own lower (animal) nature when we give it control instead of our higher (spiritual)...

    The Serpent in Gensis: a man?

    [continued] “When the sanctified breezes of Christ and the holy light of the Greatest Luminary were spread abroad, the human realities - that is to say, those who turned toward the Word of God and received the profusion of His bounties - were saved from this attachment and sin, obtained...

    The Serpent in Gensis: a man?

    [continued] “We must reflect a little: if the literal meaning of this story were attributed to a wise man, certainly all would logically deny that this arrangement, this invention, could have emanated from an intelligent being. Therefore, this story of Adam and Eve who ate from the tree...

    The Serpent in Gensis: a man?

    You might find the viewpoint in the Baha'i scriptures informative: Chapter 30 ADAM and EVE “Question. - What is the truth of the story of Adam, and His eating of the fruit of the tree?” “Answer. - In the Bible it is written that God put Adam in the garden of Eden, to...

    Was the First World War Foretold in the Bible?

    Well, at least the Battle of Armageddon, which took place in 1918, was foretold there.... Bruce

    Is Satan Ruling the World?

    No. God is One, Supreme, and has no rival or equal! There is thus no "devil" out there trying to "get us." And "satan" is simply our own lower (animal) nature when we give it control instead of our higher (spiritual) nature. Peace, :-) Bruce

    Is Greed An Immoral Or Moral Practice?

    IOW, you prefer to quibble over terminology. I found the statement quite clear, thank you! The point holds. Bruce

    does anyone really belive in God on this forum?

    >Does anyone really believe in God on this forum? As to others, I have no idea! Nor am I in any position to poll everyone else to get a percentage. Further, the only person I can speak for is myself. Peace, Bruce

    Eternal Life and Boredom

    Only if you take scripture literally, which we do not! Peace, Bruce

    Armageddon

    In fact, 666 is a date! It refers to the year 661 CE, 666 years after the birth of Christ, when a usurper tried to corrupt Islam and drive it away from a godly path. Peace, :-) Bruce

    Is Greed An Immoral Or Moral Practice?

    >Is greed an immoral moral practice? That depends on the circumstances. I quote the Baha'i scriptures: "t may be said, good and evil are innate in the reality of man, and this is contrary to the pure goodness of nature and creation. The answer to this is that greed, which is to ask for...
