Have you heard of the Baha'i faith?

Question

http://www.bahai.org/

Have you heard good things or bad things or not many things?
I just want to know how many people are aware of the faith. Also please tell me which region of the world you live in as that may make a difrence in your awareness level.

Answer 1

I know one person who's Baha'i - an Italian guy at work. I live in England. Sounds like a fairly sensible set of beliefs to me.

Answer 2

I am aware of the faith, but have no real standing on it. I don't believe that Baha'ullah is Jesus, let alone Muhammad or Buddha as well. I have hear that it is a very strict religion on its members, but people say that about every faith at some point or another. It is very accepting to women and against racism which i like, but not so much with gays. I live in Seattle, WA , USA.

Answer 3

Actually I have. I had a neighbor that practiced the Baha'i faith and my kids were good friends with them. I researched alot (to make sure my kids werent doing anything weird there) because before this I never heard of it.
I have to tell you I liked what I read...very humanitarian driven and tolerant. Seems very peacful.
After reading about it I was talking one day to one of neighbor kids. I told him "you know I am just not sure about God" He said "thats ok we like everyone". I thought that was pretty cool for a little kid to say.
BTW I live in Southwest NM close to the Texas state line.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes. It is a faith that embraces all Gods. They say JC was only a prophet and not God's son. They believe he lived. I'm not sure how they view his death and resurrection. It's a religion that believes all roads lead to God. It is a beautiful philosophy, very much Christian..... Love one another etc However it is man made and has no authority from God to operate. It is again another example of mankinds nature to turn away from God and conjure up something of their own that they feel suits them better or is
more desirable. There is only one road to God.... Through his Son JC!!!!! I live in Australia.
