Bahai?

I'm too lazy to properly place the apostrophe, just like they're too lazy to come up with a coherent love-everyone religion.

Then again, I might just have a misconception. So clear it up, please, lest I die from laughing.

It's just as coherent as many other religions. Stop your hating. Or mocking.

"Bahá'u'lláh, a Persian whose name is Arabic for "the Glory of God", taught that there is one God who progressively reveals his will to humanity. In the Bahá'í view, each of the great religions were brought by Messengers of God—such as Moses, Krishna, the Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, and the Báb—and represent a successive stage in the spiritual development of civilization. Bahá'ís believe Bahá'u'lláh is the most recent Messenger in this line, and that he has brought teachings which address the moral and spiritual challenges of the modern world."

You can't integrate Krishna into the list of prophets. And yes, it was made about 200 years ago, so I think it can go on the list of jokes to tell.

Another member on NS is of the Baha'i faith and he has sent me several links on the subject. I find it very interesting and I admire their belief in one world, one people, one God. I find it to be a faith that lives love.

And I hate all organized religions/cults equally, this one is just especially duplicitous. What fun is a religion if there is no spite and hatred toward non-believers?

It's cliche, and it's been made up many times before. It's just the New Monotheism on the Block...

What is the worth of faith if it leads you to hate? Faith is the antithesis to hate.

Forget it, just delete the topic. I never attempt to flame or flamebait, simply analyze and organize all the thoughts of the world. This just goes in the 'loony' bin. Hahaha. Get it? But seriously, you never learn unless you discuss, you never discuss unless you think or argue, and me, I'm the catalyst.

Faith is the antithesis OF intelligence, morals, and reason.
Hate is inherent in all things, and it is neither good nor evil.

I hope I never live to see a world where faith, love, and acceptance becomes cliche'.

Faith is the basis for hope. Hate is the basis for destruction.

WTF?! It IS cliche.
And if it were LITERALLY cliche, it would mean that ithey are acheived concepts, something which I would find dreadfully boring, but I'm assuming you would entirely look forward to.

You have it backwards. Hate is the basis of hope, faith is the basis of destruction. And please, learn your prepositions.

Yes, that's right, after nearly two years and hundreds of posts, I'm suddenly a troll.

I attempt to make light of ingrained beliefs and I become a troll.

This is why I never should start threads besides ones about the metric system, although even then I'm just called a troll.

of = achieved
for = potential outcome

Faith and hate have potentially different outcomes.

Please, learn your manners. Meanwhile, I'm finished talking to you. Your arguments are not based on anything other than being contrary.

Touche. I'll see you on the other end of reason.
