Default Are there any derogatory terms yet for followers of the Baha'i faith?

No that Ive ever heard of. I bet there is in Muslim countries though where Bahai are persecuted pretty badly though.

I believe the term idiot is one of those derogatory yet accurate terms.

Yes, actually there are. But posting them will likely get me reported by some no ob who thinks I am trying to insult others. To answer your question about what a derogatory term for someone who practices Baha'i is the answer is: "Bahaifag".

Well, most members of the Bah??? International Community of Haifa and ?Akk? refer to Unitarian Bah??is (as well as members of other so-called minor Bah??? movements) as Covenant-breakers: even though the Guardian of the Bah??? Faith reserved this right to declare someone a Covenant-breaker to himself, the members of the Universal House of Justice on Mount Carmel in Israel now claim this prerogative for themselves, and most Bah??is accept their claim, because they believe these men (no women allowed) to be infallible, even more so than the Pope.

Now, some of those who disagree with them refer to this kind of Bah??? as a Bahaibot ("Bah??? combat robot"): an automaton with linguistic understanding that generates automatic answers by running pre-programmed responses which deliberately change the subject of the conversation, tries to overwhelm the opposition through multiple posts and esoteric language, attempts to confuse its opponents through obfuscation, uses words with nonexistent meanings in ways that are grammatically obscure and logically deficient, asserts its absolute truth while repeating the same phrases over and over again, and declares victory when it is met with silence, which it calls constructive exchange. It also likes to jabber on about love, unity, oneness, obedience, etc., which are meant to apply to others, but not to itself.

There are also Mormon, Moonie, and Jehovah's Witnesses models of the "closed-system sectarian combat robot" available: the Morbot, the Moonbot, and the Jobot, respectively.

I hope this helps.
