Default What do you think of the Baha'is?

A Bah?'? denies no religion; he accepts the Truth in all, and would die to uphold it. He loves all men as his brothers, of whatever class, of whatever race or nationality, of whatever creed or co lour, whether good or bad, rich or poor, beautiful or hideous. He commits no violence; if he is struck he does not return the blow. He calls nothing bad, following the example of the Lord Bah?'u'll?h. As a safeguard against intemperance he does not drink wine or spirits. Bah?'u'll?h has said it is not good for a sane man to take that which will destroy his health and sense.

(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 55)
You are right about the generalizations. I should have phrased the question, "What do you think of the Baha'i ideals?" Thanks for pointing that out

You can not make sweeping generalizations about any group of people. Everybody is unique.

The Baha'i faith has lofty objectives. The only way to judge a person is by comparing their professed ideals to their personal actions.
