So is the "progression" from religion to religion? I don't think so.
I agree. There has not been a progression.
It could be proposed that as Christian evangelistic editing of the NT is discovered, so some Christians are either falling back to or defending at the 'it's all spiritual (or even mythical)' breaches.
Where I live there is a tiredness about religions that cause hatred, attacks on civilians and attacks on family members who want more freedom to make personal life choices.
As the Bahai translations were released, so it seemed (to me) that human development had advanced ahead of the Bahai standard, such as working towards even more elimination of as much prejudice as possible. I don't like the idea of crimes carrying sentences of execution, either. I don't like theocracies.
It's seems more like we get tired of the myths and traditions and dump religion and then religion has to reinvent itself to fit in with society. What do you think?
Religion is showing itself to have less value than, say, 'Loving and living with Nature'.... yes.... the Natural ways of life..... And I suspect that Buddhism may well be the natural way, not that I know ought about it. I ought to read more threads about it.
Do you see a progression from religion to religion the way it's explained in the Baha'i Faith?
No. Sadly not. Sadly, because when I was a silly youth, and when the vast majority of followers that I knew were determined to 'make' it the most beautiful faith on Earth, built from (mostly) their own dreams..... I was in love with it...... before the translations caught up with us.
Peace
