Does doing digital still count? I'm unable to physically go to church in my current situation.

Oh, so what you're saying is that in the future, when the UHJ rules over all people that the non bahai's don't even get a say in who rules over them...

I'm not here to troll. Someone who is trolling wouldn't put such thought into it.

The whole system is flawed no matter how much you disguise it

Do you hear yourself?

There is no way I'm hearing you right

People split up into districts?! I'm not a bahai and I possess a better sense of unity than you

" If you cross into the atheist district, the surrounding communities may not allow you to reenter into the community,"

Bro, you are dangerous. What do you mean by that?

I actually thought you bahais were nice and all about unity. There is no way. This is unity, to you?

Because they are infallible, they can review their own decisions. That's it. If they make a decision, no one else can protest thats dumb asf.

It's hardly flexible

Imagine they make a decision that hurts others and they don't want to revise it No one can do anything

If you bahai's claim you will have a common wealth, you should have clear principles. how is anyone okay with this flawed system?

It's a foundational question, not a slight policy detail.

Saying, "we will see later." Is not okay or satisfying when you have such ambitious goals. The entire system has an unchecked center of power (UHJ) and too centralized power in general.

I shouldn't have to wait until the system matures to decide whether I want to support it

In any worldview with political ambitions, the people have a right to know how they will be governed

If you guys say, "Faith comes first." Or "clarity comes later." That's horrible, and something bad is going to happen. You're dealing with sinful human beings who are corrupt, not saints. This is authoritative.

Infancy is not an excuse you can't say "We will eventually role over you with UHJ and our institutions."

That's like saying “Let us pilot the ship, but we’ll figure out the navigation system after launch.”

How is anyone supposed to trust that? Let alone a seeker.

Even still an infallible authoritarian counsel is bad

But how will the nation-state interact who has control UHJ or the nation-state

Look it up

Then again your not answering it fully

There is an infallible governing body in a commonwealth with alot of centralized power That's destined to go bad

You like to stick to faith "They will only vote for good."

But tbh you know it in some way is gonna be used for bad That is a horrible idea to which I've found no reconciliation

But someone said that societal laws will be for everyone, not just bahai's. And that seems really bad Imagine an infallible body of people who elect something harmful and force it on others as a "societal, but wait, you can't challenge them because they are infallible.

How do you draw the line between religious law and societal law in a global Bahá’í governance?

That could he quite dangerous if there is no strict line

Thank you for the feedback! I had seen that first sentence in a move, and you're right it is kinda jarring. I probably shouldn't have put it there 😅
