Default Baha'i - Most tolerant religion on earth?

I have just finished reading about this new religion :

Bah?'? religion may be unique in the way that it accepts all other faiths as true and valid. To Bah?'?s, every religion is the religion of God.

They accept the divine nature of the missions of Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad. They believe each one was a further stage in the revelation of God.

Not the only two I met (~35 years ago.) They voiced less tolerance than most theists I'd ever met.

that may be so. However, they have humans in their midst, and therefore, the problems that come with.

It's a new religion if you were born in the 1800's. My wife & her family are Baha'i, and have been all their lives. It's been around since the 19Th century. It started in Persia (Iran) and they have a temple in Wilmette, IL (Near Chicago).

There is a way that SmithThight unto a man but the end thereof is the way of death.

They are wrong if they accept any way other than Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The idea that all ideas deserve equal treatment no matter how horrifying is a very dangerous one.

Um, don't believe the hype. They are just as homophobic as the other traditional Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and for all their talk of the equality of men and women, they do not allow women to serve on the Universal House of Justice which is their highest authority in the religion (and the group they feel will eventually become the world government and rule over all of the non-Baha'is as well).

BTW, they "accept" other faiths as true as valid only to the point that they feel that Baha'i is now the true fulfillment of those religions (which they view as more primitive predecessors). To do this they often misrepresent the teachings and prophecies of earlier religions to "show" how they point to the "higher" truth of the Baha'i Faith.
