Founded in Persia in the 19th century by the prophet of God Baha'u'llah (a Persian title which means "Glory of God"), Baha'is now number around 7-8 million worldwide, with particularly large populations in Canada, USA, and India.
Baha'is believe in: >the oneness, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of an eternal and mysterious God, which we, as His creations, are fundamentally unable to comprehend fully. >equality between men and women >equality between science and religion >spiritual unity of mankind >reduction of extremes of wealth and poverty >elimination of racial hatred >one universal language, alongside mother tongues >no drugs >no alcohol >no gambling >no premarital sex >no homosexuality >an afterlife without heaven/hell, but rather closeness/distance from God, depending on how we have acted in this life. Baha'is compare this life to that of a baby in the womb developing physically; this life is for our spiritual development in order to pass onto the next world. >Progressive Revelation: the idea that all major religions are valid and have come from God, each prophet sent to a certain population in a certain stage along the path of mankind's maturity. In this day and age, mankind has collectively reached the stage at which we are ready for a "global civilization", and so the Baha'i teachings are what is required in order to take us there. Baha'is therefore accept all major religions, simply deferring to the Baha'i Faith as the most relevant one for today's day and age.
They spend a lot of money advertising, but it's still some hippy bullshit.

Jace Gonzalez
You're a faggot and your "religion" is stupid
Caleb Baker
perhaps I am
then again, we are both posting on a mongolian basket-weaving forum, so maybe we're both faggots
as for my religion, well, maybe that's true too
Nathaniel Reed
>accepts Muhammad as a holy man
yikes.
Jackson Fisher
They, like the Assyrians, are traitors and should be purged. I hate IRI, but these assholes are, indeed, working with Anglos to split Iran without realizing how they are tools for the petrodollar system.
Andrew Nguyen
yeh it's rough sometimes
I've heard this before. I don't know where it comes from, but it's not true, as far as I'm aware. Baha'is are persecuted quite awfully in Iran.
Aaron Wood
>doesn't accept KEK as a legitimate prophet
Jaxon Torres
As well they should be. At least Jew, Return of the Jew, and The Jew Strikes Back have a few thousand years of history. Believing in some divine shitskin from 100 years ago is L. Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith tier.
Tyler Sullivan
Mostly harmless.
Jacob Bennett
They are persecuted for a reason.
*Sigh* I wish Hitler won WW II.
Ethan Reed
Some admirable traits but their religion doesn't make any real sense theologically plus the Baha'i are infamously pals with Jews.
Juan Rodriguez
It's more Jewish brainwashing for goys.
Nolan Jones
I don't like
Easton Carter
But outlaw takia and jihad so it's all good
Parker Robinson
Romans thought the same once, they couldn't bring themselves to believe in something so new
Zachary Russell
Which one, Jew or Return of the Jew? Surely they weren't fans of The Jew Strikes Back. That didn't end well for old Byzantium.
Charles Sanchez
Sounds aweso-
>>no drugs >>no alcohol >>no gambling >>no premarital sex
Michael Williams
why is main temple in israehell?
Gabriel Barnes
Isn't Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the Office) Baha'i?
Robert Gomez
Because it's a great way to convince anti-semetic Boomer hippies to do Zionist things.
Lincoln Nelson
Bahai was in Palestine before Israel existed, it has nothing to do with Zionism
Jonathan Peterson
Palestine was a roman province. Were they in the ottoman empire perchance?
Jack Rogers
What do all religions have in common? They aren't real
Jacob Bell
How are Assyrians traitors? They follow the most Orthodox form of Christianity.
Samuel White
Ottoman, exiled there by fanatical Muslims
Brody Thomas
Filthy degenerate
Anthony Torres
>What does Sup Forums think of the Baha'i Faith?
they make nice buildings
Christian Sanchez
yes, I knew some people who went to church or whatever you call it with him. they don't seem bad in any way, but they all have this slight pudgy, doughy look to them. its weird.

My uncle who was a Freemason (in a lodge that converted from a KKK org in Florida, and had no formal communication with any other Freemason lodge) and sold homes in white neighborhoods (to white people only as he told my father on the sly) had a Baha'i burial. Never met him, but judging by his life choices, he was a weird dude.
Evan Ramirez
>Bahai wedding I think this says it all
Matthew Bennett
No clergy in bahai if that's what your implying
Xavier Nelson
I was talking about the cucky looking guy with faggy hair, the pregnant bride, and the grandparents holding their bastards while the woman from craigslist jabbers about love.
Eli Phillips
It's liberal. >but you can't do drugs or have premarital sex Yeah, it was born out of the Islamic world. That hasn't stopped it from being a new world religion.
Henry Hughes
Masons are pretty weird religiously anyway. I remember a story about a guy being confused about his grandfather using a Quran at Freemason meetings despite not being Muslim.
Chase Johnson
>New world religion >Implying more than a few communes even know what the hell you're talking about.
Michael Bell
Many of the early bahais in the west were hippies which makes one think its liberal. Not all though...
Camden Diaz
Some Masons treat founders of religions as wise teachers not necessarily prophets
Lucas Young
They got a real Epcot center vibe.
Alexander Powell
(East) Romans are now Turks though
Easton Anderson
>They was religunn n sheet >That didn't end well for Byzantium ITT

A true Gospel presentation. Hopefully those who haven't heard watch, and those who have can share this.

Asher Diaz
Thanks Brother. I liked the video and I'll watch the channels.
Xavier Reed
It's a stupid non-religious cult
bahai people donate a lot of money to their churches or whatever the fuck they're called. scientology tier scam
Dominic Sanders
Theor base of operations or whatever is in hafai Israel so you can't trust them. They are a confirmed mossad front.
Aiden Smith
if only
Ian Gray
So, Christianity with all of the important parts removed, and some hippy inclusion of every false prophet.
Negative ghost rider
Carson Martinez
There's one near me in Sydney.
Went to a party there once. The caretakers seemed very nice. The daughter was pristine and classy but looked a bit dull as is typical of religious types. Would join if I had to marry into it. Rather not though. Being a racist bogan is much more fun.
Adrian Walker
not my religion, nothing beats Christ

Christian Peterson
Assyrians are traitors with shitty inferiority complexes, easily manipulated by the realpolitik of Anglo-kike alliance. They supported Anglo-Persian Oil Company and wanted Brits to colonize Iran.
Anglos will never be friends with Persians. You are scum of the Earth and Hitler should have won. I'm not in the mood to explain anymore. I support your ethnonationalist movement and desire to preserve your peoples, but fuck off from trying to cuck my country for your petrodollar scheme. You can stick with your Gulf Arab and Jew buddies.
Michael Robinson
Islamic Revolution of '79 was largely your doing too, and you create false narrative that it was wholly due to Iranians. You pushed for Shah to lose power because he was trying to become ringleader of OPEC.
Mason Roberts
isnt that al assads party?
Blake Reed
fucking leaf
Hunter Moore
Why did I see a merchant in that image?
Nicholas Robinson
Wasn't this religion created by a British stooge to counter Islam?
Your fellows tried & failed to covert me Ba'hai b'itch. I met one of your fuckers at some freethinking old hippie meeting. He wasn't even on message. He thought he'd been invited to talk about how Ba'hairs and other faiths could get along. Even worse, he couldn't even point to five things which make the Ba'hai faith what it is. Pathetic!
Brody Barnes
It's scientology for low rent hippys as far as I can tell
Elijah Miller
why did you leave, if you don't mind me asking?
I struggle with it daily
Thomas Wood
We accept Christ. And desu if I wasn't a Baha'i I would be Christian. But the teachings are old, outdated. Baha'is understand that we have simply graduated on to a new set of teachings for this day and age. The old ones aren't wrong or lies, they are just...old.
Aaron Roberts
Dude, if you want to be Christian, be Christian. Don't follow some shitskin that spun himself out of 19th century colonialism and WW1. You're retarded if you do. Read the Bible and reject the foolishness that is bahai.
Michael Wood
I have read the Bible. And lol what, WW1 was five decades after Baha'u'llah declared his mission
Jonathan Bennett
I'm guessing, seriously guessing. >Home Country said piss off >Went to Israel (under Ottoman rule) >Empire was falling apart >No one really gave a shit >Established temple >no one really gave a shit >ignored by everyone >random hippy in the '60s was seeking mysticism >bahai!! And here you are, shitting up the board
Elijah Morris
>equality between men and women Fucking dropped
