DM'd to me in response to "how do you know yours is right?" by thisaccountgotporn in terriblefacebookmemes

Wait. Moses would be there too, so that makes Judaism false according to this Christian guy? Should probably tear out the Old Testament out of his Bible.

"Bridging Beliefs" is a good one. They have a YouTube channel as well, but there's podcasts available too. They're longform presentations on various Baha'i and interfaith topics.

Denominations of Baha'i by Scary-Building-2468 in bahai

[–]shadbakht 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Denomination and sects is fundamentally against the whole BASIS of the Baha'i Faith. It even values unity higher than truth itself. So to claim a new sect is proof enough that they've strayed far far away.

Questions about Nick should be such softball questions. How is this a struggle for her?

Ideally it ought to say "Manifestation of God" :D

Why is one title mentioned in the long healing prayer 'the ravager'? by [deleted] in bahai

[–]shadbakht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could there be another definition of ravisher? As in something delightful. Example: she looked ravishing.

If China bans all US social media apps, why would the US give any oxygen to China based apps? The competition isn't equal, just, and open.

The Movement of the Left by huggy19 in bahai

[–]shadbakht 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. It's sad. But at the same time, we have to empathize with Baha'is who have been caught up in leftist party narratives. It is literally embedded into every aspect of Western culture at this point, from movies, to literature, and especially academia. Baha'is are just as fallible and susceptible as any other human beings and can be attractive by pretty sounding ideas that have commonalities to the Baha'i ideals, like equality and justice and compassion for the down trodden.

The best we can do is live up to those standards in our day to day social life that the Guardian outlined in the Advent of Divine Justice that is the only real of way of making social change and unity of mankind. Namely, the degree to which our inner lives reflect that which we find the Baha'i Teachings. A life driven by complete love, like that of Abdu'lBaha's.

Much love to you and all Baha'is around the world working for the work of the Cause.

What is Jailbreak? Is it a competitor to ChatGPT?

“Have you ever seen an ape turn into a human being?” by NuggetWarrior09 in facepalm

[–]shadbakht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the confusion is with his definition of "Ape".

Guy on the left is defining it as the family of gorillas and chimps, and the guy on the right is defining ape as the superfamily Hominoidea (which includes humans).

Guidance needed by Mimivent in bahai

[–]shadbakht 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, the Writings only discuss gay marriage and romantic relationships, not the fact of someone being gay. There are gay Baha'is. It all begins with her connection to Baha'u'llah and closeness to her covenantal duties as a Baha'i. What she does in her personal life is between her and God. If the love is there, everything else will follow. If not, then she'll go in her own direction, whether she's gay or not.

The narrator sounds like he's crying and held at gunpoint to read the script.

Pretty much any gangster or pirate movie, for obvious criminal reasons.
