I am a spiritual libertarian. I did not like being told things about spirituality. I own my soul!
I hope you don't mind if I ask, but is that why you have appeared to have left the Baha'i Faith?

Let's sit back and see if any of the nay'sayers
respond to post #44.
And if they do, how they will now attempt to explain it away.
(instead of being genuinely curious/wanting to actually understand)
I was a pious Catholic Christian up to a point... when I realised that the whole Christian religion really began from many sects and cults that centered around the personage of Jesus upon His death, with one emerging as the most powerful.
The existence of the the differing 'heresies' prior to the development of Pauline Christianity, its countless and confusing denominations that sometimes even conflict, the inability to evolve beyond the Bible into a more holistic religion, the claims of the Pope are as valid as the claims of the bishops of the Orthodox Church, the Trinity, its stance towards gays, lesbians and transsexuals, etc.
I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm still religious and do miss Christian services sometimes... but unless its social practices are something like the United Church of Canada, I don't think I would be calling myself a Christian any time soon.
