It's a cult. They try to deceive new converts in different ways, including posing as Christians.

In a sensible world, members of the Baha'i faith would have to get psychiatric help, because it holds that contradictory religions are simultaneously true. Now Baha'is are usually well-to-do middle class people, sensible in all other ways than their belief. So one is forced to the conclusion that this faith must be a deliberate lie. Now people lie when they are afraid of the truth. So one is then left to guess at what that truth is in the case of Baha'is, which may be any one of the religions that Baha'i claims to encompass.

I think any 'faith' which is totally inclusive is ok by me.
ie one that accepts ALL the diffferent roads to trying to find truth in the Universe.
There are no set in stone manuals for this despite what the major religions may preach. The only manual is our own minds and our minds grow and flourish with diversity of information and a broad spectrum of ideas.
The Bahai faith is Cool.
Om Shanti

I think it's a rather sensible, peaceful and respectful faith. It advocates kindness and reverence to all things. It finds the common thread in all the world's major religions. It acknowledges the reality of both earthly and spiritual existence. If I weren't a Christian, I think that would be a creed worth converting to.

I don't know much about them , just that they build great temples. The Baha'i Temple in Evaston IL should be on everyone's " must see in Chicago " list.

It's a cult and one that cleverly tries to mix all the different religions into one so that there is something for everyone! The Bible warns of many false prophets in the last day (wolves in sheep's clothing) and this is one of those.

Nice ideas but otherwise meh.
It's a nice humanist outlet, but like a hell of a lot of popular organised religious groups, it's not spirituality.
