Oh dear. Why do I have to keep saying Oh dear to you guys. LollllOk. So you claim that anyone who has followers who believe in them and will die for them are necessarily right and true.
Are you sure about that?
Incorrect conclusion from what I said.
1. It means, they sincerely believed it to be true.
2. It means there could be good reasons they believed it so strongly that they died for it. (So, the Bab and Baha'u'llah had enough to convince them).
Therefore, it would be wise to look into that more carefully before making a conclusion.
Then answer this question:I haven't claimed that he was secretly planning to be a false prophet. I have made no claims about his plans or motives.
Then If He wasn't secretly preparing for His claim, why then there is no recorded history that He was reading or learning religious stuff or studying, prior to His claim?
How come in case of Joseph Smith, Ahmad Qadiani, or other people living at the time of Baha'u'llah, there are recorded history about what they have been studying, when and where, but in case of Baha'u'llah, despite there are many historic accounts on His life, no one ever mentioned He was reading and studying?
You must have a reasonable answer for this then..
Your conclusion is not reasonable, but rather it is what can be imagined to be most possible, because normally people have to learn things to know them.My sole point is that given the evidence it is reasonable to assume that his knowledge came through non-magical means. Also remember that you still haven't produced any evidence or rational argument to show that he was an illiterate ignoramus who never read a book or had a discussion for decades, despite his privileged background. Further remember that all the "evidence" you produce are hagiographical anecdotes from followers who have a vested interest in promoting the idea of magic powers.
You can claim reasonable when you have a reasonable answer to all valid questions.
