Re: 20 new verses of Gilgamesh discovered
I am a long time fan of Gilgamesh, and I would like to find a good translation of the new text. In my search there may be two newly discovered texts. Is this true.

Re: The Baha'i Source some call God(s) and why I believe in
Hmmmm. Any organization seeking members and money from them qualifies as a religion in my book. If you said that is an ecclesiasty I would agree, but in the vernacular we probably would agree any pursuit of power (siddhis too) for personal gain falls in between a religion and discipline. It is a ca...

Re: The Baha'i Source some call God(s) and why I believe in
I did exchange e-mails with Alex last night - I guess he will have his administrator do the approvals today. However, the administrator is friends with a cult type guy who used to be the primary force or posting person along with other extremists and alien interventionists. So I will continue to de...

Re: The Baha'i Source some call God(s) and why I believe in
Dear S Well said. It is good to use our potential to be a participant in creating Harmony and Divine Providence. Bucky Fuller says we can "creatively realize" most anything, and he did. Teilhard de Chardin says one thought perfectly formed can create a 'temple' to manifest reality. I like...

The Baha'i Source some call God(s) and why I believe in God.
The Baha'i Source some call God(s) and why I believe in God. I consider the traditional arguments for God based on ancient scripture and culture bad to the point of being illogical and irrational. The first posting reflects my Foundation Assumptions of why I believe. Foundations of Belief Assumption...

Re: Genuine Christian Belief
I wonder how many of the clergy (across all the Christian flavors), and particularly the insiders of the "vatican machine", truly believe in the supernatural aspects of the gospel story. The virgin birth, the raising of the dead, the curing of the blind, the re-appearance of Moses and Eli...

Re: Where do we go when we die?
I am a Baha'i and the basic belief is we journey through many worlds beyond this one. Our journey beyond this world is dependent on the sincerity of our spiritual journey in this world. The problems with the ancient worldviews of past religions is they define the afterlife and spiritual realms on pa...
