    These Students will change US gun landscape

    Because age has nothing to do with why cars should be regulated, or what form said regulations would be likely to take. This isn't my first time around the block on discussing this matter.

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Well this is kinda taking the thread off track, so maybe I'll start another one about this issue. I don't think that Baha'i adherents can show beyond the texts of their own worldview that the Buddha and Jesus taught the same, or had similar personalities to Moses and Muhammad. Do Baha'is think...

    I'm willing to discuss what that would actually look like, without bringing in the non-sequitur of age.

    These Students will change US gun landscape

    I don't see how age has anything to do with it, so I see no point in answering. If you wish to discuss this further I'm all ears, but I'm not going off-track about age. I'm not getting lured down that rabbit hole.

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Well that goes to show that Baha'is wouldn't be adverse to oppressing LGBT people doesn't it? The world governments doing it on Baha'i advice would be the same.

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    I was not aware that Baha'is thought the world had been following 'God's laws' prior to Bahaullah.

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    I don't want to jump the gun on conclusions and assume someone said something they might not have. Maybe I'm too nice :D

    We certainly have regulations on who is allowed to operate a vehicle. That's as good as, but I'll agree it's an oversight. We should have laws about who can buy cars, and I'm sure we would if more minor children decided they were going to hop behind the wheel and take daddy's truck for a spin.

    Yes that is all very true. I don't deny it. I am a non-conservative young voter. I'm on the front end of Gen Y tailing Gen X, so not sure I'm too young. :p

    Age is hardly the only factor, is it?

    Well we've got two older generations that vote (Silent and Boomers). Two that don't really, or they go third party (Gen X and Y), and this new upcoming generation that remains to be seen. I'm excited by what I see though.

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    Right, as Shoghi Effendi understands Bahaullah. It's right there at the end of your quote. If you want to take that as indication Bahaullah actually thought that, I can't stop you. For non-Baha'is this seems to be coming through a second-hand source. Which is unreasonable from a psychological...

    This guy......

    Yes I gathered that, I just wanted to know if you went any further with your conclusions. Thanks :)

    The last post is the LOSER!

    Ah there's a little risk involved when you play this one. I like that! You must think if you wish to take the chance of losing before you play.

    Does being religious make you nicer?

    I am of the opinion that if one has really thought out their religion, their motivations for practice, and the end ideal- most religions make people nicer. I don't think unthinking religion does. I don't even know if that should be called a proper understanding of religion. Do we call...

    University poll finds most Americans fear the “Deep State”

    I don't exactly feel assurance when the majority of Americans think a thing these days. Ad pop is a definite fallacy. One that is actually arguable as one. It's not like more vague fallacies one might argue can be shown fallacious or not. It clearly is one. Can the majority hold a wrong opinion?

    This guy......

    Doesn't this argue for having an understanding of morality grounded outside of human preference? That is- a moral standard in which it doesn't really matter if an individual says: "I disagree".

    Does ignorance lead to insanity?

    @Gerry in Buddhism ignorance is the root of all evil. That actually does include intentional ignorance, as often held in prejudices against others. That's aversion, one of the three chief poisons. Ignorance is never ultimately good. The long-term consequences outweigh any immediate benefit.

    Biggest Problem of Christianity (Vicarious Redemption)

    @Kelly of the Phoenix in spite of those religions that do paint divinity like a cosmic overlord- do you believe a person can love a god, venerate that deity out of love, and feel certain obligations as a result?

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    I am aware the religion teaches that, on the statements of the Guardian, not the founder himself. I was planning to get to that again later, so let's proceed. This is what I mean. It's unreasonable. People that are oriented toward the same sex have needs like anyone for fulfillment, by having...
