Oh, I've actually heard of her! I think I watched one of her talks on YouTube. I think its great when someone clearly intelligent, like a professor, converts from atheism to religion, because it demonstrates that faith isn't "unintellectual" like the media sometimes suggests.

I definitely don't like that it has "the children's health defense" references (of which RFK JR. is the chairman). It appears to be one of those 'vaccines cause autism' organizations. Which, as someone with a neurodevelopmental disorder closely related to autism and with a brother on the...

That's really interesting. So sort of similar to the saints in Catholicism?

I'm actually curious about this, because I thought Baha'i doesn't believe in angels, but it does believe the Quran is completely accurate...isn't the angel Gabriel mentioned in the Quran?

IMO I think forgiveness is for both parties. Because I can let something go and not let it bother me anymore without forgiving someone. Forgiving someone isn't a necessity to move on from something. But, at least the way I practice forgiveness, if I push myself to forgive someone it makes me a...

We definitely are. We took her for a checkup this week and the vet said he would've thought she was 5 instead of 17 if we hadn't told him her age! Here's hoping she beats a guinness world record ❤️

My sweet baby girl! She’s 17 years old. She looks a little crusty- we do groom and bathe her, it’s just due to old age.

I'm glad. Even though we have completely different opinions, I always find what you have to say interesting. That's good to hear! Thank you, I'll have to give that a read through.

I've decided to stop replying to your other thread, as I feel bad constantly disagreeing with you, but this is my thread so I feel justified in responding to this haha. In this future world government, what will happen to people who do not wish to become Baha'i? What will happen to ancient...

I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday and the topic of absolute truth came up. It seems I can't get away from this topic haha, it is still one that I'm pondering a lot. The YouTuber was talking about how truth is 'that which corresponds to reality'. Which is of course an obvious...

I respect that this is what your religion teaches, but as an avid student of religious studies, I have to be honest; all religions are not compatible.

Yes, please! It sounds quite interesting.

Thank you, I just looked this up and it seems right up my alley! I love horror fiction in a historical setting, they don't write enough of it anymore imo. The only other one I've heard of semi-recently is The Terror by Dan Simmons, which apparently is excellent.

Oh, no, not at all don't worry! I'm interested in any kind of book people are reading :) I just happen to be reading a lot of spiritual books at the moment

Right now I'm reading Martyrs & Mystics: The Extraordinary Untold Story of Britain's Spiritual Heritage. It's very much 'pop history' but it's been a fun read so far. If anyone is interested, I can post a link to it (it's free legally online as an ebook).

A classic! How are you liking it so far? I'll admit, anything I know about Breakfast at Tiffany's comes from that Seinfeld episode about it lol. I haven't even seen the Audrey Hepburn movie. Capote was a really fascinating man though.

Wow, that's fascinating. How do you mean inspired? The internet is great for stuff like that. I've been able to find so many religious resources online that would be much harder to find in physical books.

I think that most religions are more different than they are similar. Obviously Abrahamic religions will share a lot of similar ideas because they come from the same root source but they're still wildly different. Not to mention non-Abrahamic religions. It is eternally frustrating to me when...

I completely forgot I made this thread! I haven't started my new job yet so I've been off for the past two weeks and using the time to catch up on my reading as much as I can (that's also the reason why I've been posting on here so prolifically lol; I have a lot of free time right now). I've...

I think this is one big flaw of Baha'i theology. It relies SO much on arguing that other religions are compatible with/support its revelations. I mean, yes Christianity and Islam have often done this before (such as with Judaism), but they have their own well developed theology that has nothing...
