Bah?'?s: How can all religions be one?
Bah?'? doctrine says that "all religions are one", that is, that all religions are sent by the same god, and that they are all really just different aspects of the same thing.
How, then, do you reconcile this with the fact that there are many religions that flatly contradict each other, and many that flatly contradict the Bah?'? Faith itself?
For instance, any atheistic or polytheistic religion disagrees with one of the most fundamental of Bah?'? beliefs ? that there is one omniscient, omnipotent god. The Bah?'? disagrees with its own ancestors (Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc.) on many theological points as well.
How can all religions be different aspects of the same thing, when they are so incompatible?
Bob L: Think about your logic here for a second. If being internally inconsistent in its beliefs makes a religion a cult, then your religion (Christianity, by your previous answers) is a cult too.
anemone: That's a very interesting attitude, and in my experience it's the attitude that many American Bah?'?s take. However, more conservative Bah?'?s (particularly the early members of the religion before it spread outside the Middle East) seem to have taken this doctrine much more literally than that.
Queen M: This question is clearly directed at Bah?'?s. I didn't ask for a fundamentalist Christian rant.
Hugh W: I don't have a religion. I'm asking Bah?'?s about theirs. For the most part I am not interested in the opinions of non-Bah?'?s on Bah?'? doctrine.
