i agree with path_of_one- i don't expect God to take away obstacles or give me material things. i've seen alot of people with that view of Him become hurt and distance themselves from religion when things become difficult and stay that way. i figure it's up to me to keep swimming- it's up to...

interesting, thank you all for your ideas. there was a website i was reading that gave various arguments for or against hijab... many arguments for were social in view and said things like "hijab protects me from the immodest gaze of men", "it allows me to be treated as an individual, not...

hey path_of_one- nice to see you here! looking forward to talking with you!

thank you, arthra! that's helpful, thank you. there was a book my friend mentioned about a christian man who came to the Bahai faith after reading Bahai texts. i forget what it was called, but this book was the one that convinced my friend. i'm less shocked now than i was, and now i'm...
