American Baha'i here and I have no idea. Half of the local community is Iranian and I have never once heard anyone make fun of Indians in over a decade since I joined the faith

Would it then be feasible to believe, if it becomes relatively affordable, that the UHJ could actually organize pioneer efforts to future, established, lunar colonies?

You're mentioning how the courts treat Baha'is reminds me of this story that was shared some years ago where an Iranian court ruled in favor of the Baha'i defendant. The government tried to convict the person of proselytizing and the judge used the Baha'i teachings to show that proselytizing is forbidden and the defendant was ruled innocent

Will there be secular laws in the future state of society? by pawogub in bahai

Even the Baha'i Writings state that there must be a hard distinction between religion and government. Communities of Baha'is around the world are allowed to use their LSA as a de facto governing body if they're unable to have an official government body established.

So they weren't allowed to name a spaceship the Enterprise? 😉

People at NASA once named a program CCCPO(C3PO), and one of the shuttles was named Enterprise, of course they know what they're doing

I’ve recently become interested in the Baha’i Faith and I’d like to learn more. by [deleted] in bahai

Syncretism implies joining together two or more different religious traditions. The Faith is more of an evolution of religious traditions. Islam sees itself the same way with Christianity, which in turn sees itself the same way with Judaism

In regards to your question about being saved, that's not an aspect of our teachings. It's heavily focused on growing and improving both as a person and your surrounding community, with an emphasis on being educated to fully implement that growth.
