Bahai's actually push independent investigation for the truth (dont follow blindly). Search the phrase "messanger of god" on any search engine and you will find tons of information on the Bahai faith, as well as going to http://www.bahai.org

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Don't reply to this Author: wink [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:21:33 04/08/02 Mon I think you'd be rather surprised what I know about the bahai faith. And nonetheless it's another monotheistic religion where you are expected to sacrafice your life here on earth for eternal bliss. Most people believe in what they were taught, you find something that works and instead of continuing to search, it ends there. That's exactly why you don't see many (in comparision) buddhists or many hindu's. No matter how much you trick yourself, how much searching have you really done? How much do you know about the following religions (note these are just the 6 most popular): Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, Sikhism.....and the list would go on and on.

Eachone actually fortold the comming of the next. There will be more to come as well, the pattern seems to be every 1,000 years if you look at it on a time line. Im not done searching lee ;-) There is no way I can learn everything about this stuff... There is too much of it... But it can be quite interesting.

I'd say society has changed enough in the past 150 years to warrant a new prophet. I demand a new prophet goddamnit :D.
