Not going to lie, when people would try to explain it to me, it seemed like Baha'i members were just trying to "pad their odds" to say, by not choosing a side. However, after watching this and having it explained better and fuller, I see that it is a lovely faith with many points I agree with. While I personally am a non-denominational Christian, I feel that Christ and Baha'i would have been close friends if they lived at the same time. Bless you, Baha'i friends.

Growing up, I raised in the ways of Christianity and was taught to believe many things in Christianity... and also fear. But as I grew and began to truly see the world revolving around me I began to question certain things about my Religion, why are things the way they are when the bible said otherwise. Science was the key factor of this; it made me understand and learn not just simply what caused diseases, earthquakes, and evolution but about people and reasoning and how to know the difference between fact and opinion, but it also caused me major confusion and conflict within myself. Between religion and science, I didn't know what to believe, I was so confused for the longest time thinking the two never hand in hand. I do believe in the bible and what it says but not all of it, and reason and science can tell us a lot more about the world around then. I always told myself I was a "half Christian" but is that even a thing? My name is Jaime, I am 20 years old and am a believer in both science and religion. I consider myself a wanter of peace and equality for there is truly nothing else I desire more in this divided world. I am still young and still VERY confused but I think Bahai's beliefs are what strive the believe in because it literally embodies my thoughts and even my sense of reasoning. I agree with the Bahai Faith 100%

One thing that I want to point out us that, while practically you can see what most atheists deduce as their cosmology, there is no atheist doctrine. There is no atheist cosmology. All atheism means is without theism. It does not make claims about how the world and the universe came to be, and there are plenty of atheists that believe all kinds of different things about science and religion and how everything came to be. Atheism is merely not believing in any theism.

The Dilemma that all brothers from all religions(Hindu, Muslim, Christian) are facing today- -- The Dilemma of most of our Hindu brothers is- " I don't know anything about Hinduism except that which my parents and my ancestors have been following and practicing. I haven't read any religious scripture at all. What is an Upanishad? I don't know. So am I a Hindu? No, I don't think so. But when it comes to hating, detesting, and abusing a Muslim or a Christian brother, I do that with all my passion and full energy in the name of 'Hindutva'. This is great, a person knowing nothing about Hinduism coining a self made term called 'Hindutva', and rest of them follow like cattle! " "Proud to be a Hindu", "Hoy Hinduch" - No, following Shivaji Maharaj and being a true Hindu are two different things. They are separate. " ---- The Dilemma of most of our Christian brothers is- Ask a Christian brother. Brother, "What did Jesus teach?". Most will respond, "Jesus died on the Cross for the sake of our sins. The blood of Jesus saves us." You ask them again, "Brother, my question was not what Jesus did and why he did that. My question is 'WHAT DID HE TEACH? " Very few faithful Christian brothers will respond - " Jesus was a teacher of Truth, of Divine Love. He was the way to the Divine Love of the Father. Teacher of Immortality. Of Eternal Life. Of transcending the human into the Divine." And even very few will agree to this - After Jesus, God sent another Messenger whose name was Muhammad, and although Muhammad's teaching proclaim about 'accepting' all Messengers before him, including Jesus, many of our Christian brothers are inclined to deny the Message of Muhammad. This is the dilemma of many of our Christian brothers! --- The Dilemma of most of our Muslim brothers is- They say, "We believe in Probhet Muhammad(PBUH) and we believe in all the Prophets(PBUT) who came before him. They know that a 'Promised One' was going to come after Prophet Muhammad. But when the Promised One came - One Whom God had made manifest, and when He explained that THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD COME FROM THE SAME SOURCE AND ARE IN ESSENCE SUCCESSIVE CHAPTERS OF ONE RELIGION FROM GOD- even after claiming this Truth which is known to all - the turned their back on Him and denied Him. Now many Muslim brothers are facing the same Dilemma like our Christian brothers- they are as reluctant to accept the One Whom God has made manifest after Prophet Muhammad, as are many Christians to follow Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)! Subhan Allah!

Thank you for the video. It is interesting to learn about other faiths especially when it is so similar to my faith, Islam. In Islam, we believe that: 1. There is One God (the supreme being, no image, no human-like characteristics). He created the universe and all that is in it (heaven, earth, hell, angels, devil, animals, nature) 2. Humanbeings are not evolved from apes, but is one of His best creations of God (humans are created with emotions, minds to think and do wonderful or destructive things). 3. No intermediaries in Islam. Humanbeings can connect and pray straight to God even if there is no Imams, Mullahs or Ulama. Direct connection to Almighty. 4. This world (material, physical world) is created by Him but will eventually one day come to an end. As all things die or come to and end, so as this world we live ine. The final destination is the Heavens where all of His creations will reunite and be with Him. 5. Therefore, in order to maintain order, harmony and peace on earth in preparation for the after life, God sends down prophets and his Messengers as teachers, guides and reminders to humanbeings not to transgress in their actions. Prophets are sent to established empires/civilizations (to pharoahs, kings, tribe leaders who had transgressed, caused misery to their people or to others). 6. Believing in past Prophets and their teachings is one of the pillars of Islamic faith. Muhammad is sent as the final and seal of all Prophets and mercy to all. He came to verify all other prophets teachings, he came to repair what has been damaged and to heal this modern world which is more compelexed than those living in previous era. 7. People may argue that Prophet Muhammad have no miracles unlike Jesus (cure the blind, wake the dead), Moses (speak to God, change stick to Snake), Solomon (talk to birds, control the unseen).....but the miracle that he has is the Al-Quran (words of God) and his Sunnah. Through Quran and Sunnah, God is sending humanbeings the solution to all the modern day problems such as how to worshiop God, how to treat parents, friends, neighbours, how to do business transactions without deceiving, how to walk, talk, eat, how to negotiate, how to govern, how to be compassion and forgiving, how to strive for success, science and all others,how to coexsit and live in a multi cultural environment.

But I think I may need a different explanation of this faith. I will try their website.

I can imagine this becoming very popular. People ditch religion after pluralism (postmodernity if you really must call it that) but bahai seems to be a pluralist stance. Almost all societies have a God, yet all Gods are inconsistent... So summising from that, if you are still theist and figure that the convergent rise of religion isnt just some psychological archetype seems pretty logical.

Baha’i’s believe in what they call independent investigation of the truth, which means that each individual must investigate the claims made by Baha’u’llah independently and come to their own conclusions. My own way was to read the writings of Baha’u’llah. One example is a book by Baha’u’llah called The Hidden Words. To give an idea of the ‘flavor’ of that book, here is one passage: “O Son of Spirit! The best beloved of all things in my sight is justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desires Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor....”
@ArmanGoshtasbe4 жыл бұрын
You shouldn't believe it on anyone else's word. The question as I see it is "Do I want to invest the time to investigate His writings, ponder them and sincerely seek to see with my OWN eyes if His claims are true?" The 'evidence' is what the scriptures do to your inner world, if there is any inner transformation that occurs within you when someone sincerely seeks to investigate the writings/teachings. Solid questions! =) Cheers.

So at the end of the day you do not have to convert in order to put into practice the belief that we are all one race. As long as you love others and are of service to humanity, the world will progress.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" Whether or not one believes women are treated unjustly in their developed nation, there are clear examples of oppression in other countries that maybe we can all agree on. So long as that oppression exists there is not equality of man and woman. We don't like in a vacuum and must admit that though we might not see women as oppressed in our daily lives, the oppression impacts our lives. The workers that manufactured our clothes or are working at slave wages for the technology we use are in a society that does oppress women. The interconnectedness of the world makes it such that their subjugation impacts our lives.
@BuzzKiller5 жыл бұрын
Hey e.edge, thanks for your response. Me and my friend actually talked a bit about that. Unfortunately the pay gap is really misunderstood statistic. I’ll try to give a brief explanation. The gender pay gap isn’t a comparison of income between a man and a woman’s with the same job, same education or experience etc (these differences account for a lot of the gender pay gap). What the gender pay gap actually is, is the difference in average weekly earnings between men and women without accounting for other important factors. It does not compare the same job or consider work experience, different industries, job position, education, hours worked, type of work, etc. When you account for these things the pay gap is pretty much nullified. Difference in interest between men and women also plays a large role. Women tend to be more interested in people and men in things. So women, on average, tend to choose jobs involving people such as nursing and teaching etc which have lower pay; whereas men tend to go into STEM (science, technology, engineering mathematics) which pays higher. Men also, on average, tend to choose jobs that are more dangerous or labour intensive which pay at higher rates. So there is indeed a difference in pay between men and women but not because of discrimination or oppression. An easy way to see if gender pay exists because of discrimination is to ask; Since labor costs are some of the largest costs companies can incur: if it was cheaper to hire women then why wouldn’t business save on expenses and just hire women?
@BuzzKiller5 жыл бұрын
Thanks very much for your reply mina hassani. Im not really sure how gender roles are oppressive unless enforced by an institution. For example, women in the west are not forced into the role of motherhood or prevented from pursuing a life dedicated to their career. They have opportunities to do both; they have the same opportunities as men. Whereas women in some other nonwestern countries often are forced into gender roles with no choice or opportunities and severe consequences for disobedience which certainly is oppression. With your example of objectifying women i definitely agree that objectification is degrading to anyone who experiences it. But as far as i can see its not oppression, as its a result of individual choice and not institutional imposed. Insulting or offending someone, though bad, is not the same thing as oppressing them but it doesn’t make it any better or less painful. And on your last point that men are more likely to receive a promotion then females. Thats very hard to talk about without more specific details. That statistic may be true, that men receive more opportunities for promotion, but that doesn’t mean men are being promoted only because they are men or that women aren’t being promoted because of oppression. There are other factors that may be contributing. For example, on average, men tend to work longer hours then women, men tend to be more willing to move around for work, and tend to be more disagreeable which assists with negotiating for raises or promotions etc. There are many factors that contribute to these things and a differences don’t necessarily mean discrimination or oppression is occurring. Difference between groups (for example differences in promotions between men and women) does not require oppression.

This is gonna go over horribly, BUT, if I was going to start a new world order this is how I’d do it. Religion is a powerful political weapon in the right hands. Is there a better way to establish a one world government? I’m just saying.. Always love Rainn Wilson though!

I don't personally see religion being a good way to start a one world government even though you are correct it is a powerful political weapon. It just seems like usually when religion is used it politics it always creates a strong opposition since people never seem to agree on what religion is the best one. So maybe you could take over a region but you'd have so many people thinking your religion is BS that then other countries would start to strongly oppose you and never join your government.

I wouldn't be opposed to a one world government, depends on the intent. If it works it works, if not, well just keep trying. I honestly believe spiritual evolution will continue to take place until we go unite as one. Not in a communist, dictatorship type way. Just come together as one spiritually. Maybe, possibly, war will some day cease to exist on Earth.

To your understanding why are these concepts and teaching not more widely accepted as it does not aim to be narrow it’s ideology?

All the concept explained in the video is Islam from what I know. What is the difference between Islam and Baha'i?

The Báb, Bahá’ís believe, who was the Herald of the Faith, is the Promised Imam Mahdi/Qá’im while Bahá’u’lláh is the return of Christ. He abolished the Jizya tax & updated many things from Islam. So, I believe the Baha’i Faith is the Islam of this age, while Christianity was the Judaism of its former age (but an updated version). If you would like to ask me any questions, I’m here :)

Updated, like the iPhone? lol #toomanywords Edit: that being said thanks for the well-done video explaining the faith. I agree with everything except the “updating” idea. imo many ancient religions give more sophisticated knowledge and practice than later developments provided.
