No, declarative statements are assertions of fact and truth. You have a bad habit of writing your opinions as if factual. Your statement asserted that God has a certain property and quality, and that is information. Yet we all know that you have no such information, nor have demonstrated any God exists.
You said:
If you think how the last 200 years have gone is part of a God’s plan, then that is either an incompetent God or criminally insane.

"That is" sounds like a declarative statement to me. Is it a fact that God is either incompetent God or criminally insane? If it is a fact it needs to be known and you need proof that God is either incompetent God or criminally insane. Do you have any proof?
Fact: something that is
known to have
happened or to
exist,
especially something for which
proof exists, or about which there is
information:
fact
Fact: a thing that is known or proved to be true.

What Is a Declarative Sentence? A declarative sentence is generally a simple statement that is used to provide information about something or state a fact. It ends with a full stop or a period. It is the most common type of sentence in the English language.
Do you have any
information to support your assertion that God is either incompetent God or criminally insane?
You are sloppy and have bad debate habits, so I will keep working to help you out.
Who has bad debating habits? I caught you red-handed, but I doubt you will admit to what I pointed out above.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
If I have to preface everything I say about my beliefs with "I believe" then you have to preface what you say with "in my opinion."
It would go like this:
@F1fan said: If you think how the last 200 years have gone is part of a God’s plan, then
in my opinion that is either an incompetent God or criminally insane.
Everything you state is only a personal opinion, NONE of it is a fact. Facts can be proven, but what you say cannot be proven, so it is just a personal opinion.
So sayeth the fallible mortal. You might as well believe God has nice hair and his breath is minty fresh.
My belief is that God is All-Knowing, All-Wise and Infallible is supported by scriptures. Scriptures don't say that God has nice hair and his breath is minty fresh. In fact, scriptures say that God is not a man, so that means God cannot have those attributes.
So far from being perfectly competent in his design for the universe.
Is that a fact that has been proven? Otherwise it is only a
personal opinion.
Everything you state is only a personal opinion, NONE of it is a fact. Facts can be proven, but what you say cannot be proven, so it is just a personal opinion.
And we critical thinkers are helping you stay honest.
Honest about what? How can you help me? You do not know jack squat about God. You only have a personal opinion.
That's why Baha'i is no more convincing than any other religion, too many fantastic concepts, not enough evidence.
There is enough evidence for the Baha'i Faith being true to sink a large ocean-liner and you are right that it is fantastic!
The religion has serious moral problems.
Careful now... You forgot to say "In my opinion."
Everything you state is only a personal opinion, NONE of it is a fact. Facts can be proven, but what you say cannot be proven, so it is just a personal opinion.
In my opinion, present-day society has serious moral problems and the Baha'i Faith has the cure for all those ills.
Who cares? What makes that the issue for a religion's validity?
Did I say it did? Let's keep things separate.
I said "No other religion has ANY plans for humanity's future."
I said nothing about validity.
And let's not ignore that since Baha'i has existed it's done nothing to help humanity.
Another personal opinion stated as a fact.
Since Baha'i has existed it's done things to help humanity. There are facts that back this up, but I am not going to present them since they are readily available on the internet.
It has an ideal, but no method on how to get there.
It has a method on how to get there. That is all handled within the Baha'i administration, not on a forum.
The Baha'i Faith is the most organized religion in the world.
As I have noted nothing in the texts explain how to deal with the mental health problems of individuals, nor how to create more rational citizens so that they make better democratic decisions. What use is it, seriously?
It is not the purpose of a religion to address mental health problems or make people more rational.
The religion hasn't seemed to help the baha'i memebrs very much, as their beliefs and thinking is highly criticized.
In your opinion.
No, any supernatural claim is outrageous.
In your opinion.
