Why is Bahaism so fractured and split up into so many groups? Why do the others necessarily need to be wrong? I frankly do believe that they are Bahais at heart, even if they do not express believe in the current headship of the Universal House of Justice.
I thought that being Bahai simply means to love all the world, to love humanity and to try to serve it, to work for universal peace... etc.
From the Bab, you have the Bahais, and the Bayanis who still believe in the Bayan and that Bahaullah is not the One that they are waiting for. Then from Abdul-Baha there is another split between him and Ghusn-i-Akbar. Then from Shoghi Effendi you have splits due to Guardianship problems.
This is the unchanging Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future... yet like any other religion, it is full of factions and fractions. :areyoucra
