I see that this forum has just gotten worse since I left three years ago. You should really be happy to have such an awesome Facebook group being associated by name with this dump. We're kind of shooting ourselves in the foot by keeping the name.  |

Actually, in the past it has been healthy, as excessive fat helps you survive famines and you don't live long enough to be affected by diseases caused by obesity anyway. Obesity as a beauty ideal is also incredibly common if food is not abundant. |

| I made a huge blunder earlier - while the Baha'i writings make it clear that the purpose of sex is conceiving, married couples are not discouraged from having sex for sexual gratification. I had a different interpretation that was clearly wrong after looking into it. I apologise. While the Baha'i v... |

| Then why exactly is it that Baha'is require the egg cell of the wife to be fertilized by the sperm of the husband in the procedure? It does not appear to have a rationale. Usually, a scientific explanation turns up sometime in the future for such issues. For example, Abdul Baha and Shoghi Effendi s... |

| So the answer to question of why that "to be acceptable to Bahá'ís, the egg cell of the wife should be fertilized by the sperm of the husband in the procedure" is "no"? That doesn't make sense. Given the above, wouldn't it follow that adoption is also wrong? Not really. Adoption is humanitarian. Th... |

No. So the answer to question of why that "to be acceptable to Bahá'ís, the egg cell of the wife should be fertilized by the sperm of the husband in the procedure" is "no"?

| The beloved Guardian, in a letter written on his behalf to an individual believer, states, "... there is no objection to having a baby by means of artificial insemination as long as your husband is the father of it."

| The issue of sex in the Baha'i faith is quite clear - it is only for reproduction. So, while there is no issue with a homosexual being in love, we make it quite clear that sex is purely to continue the human species. We don't single out homosexual promiscuity when it comes to promiscuity in general... |

| Not really, sillycat. In the East, homosexual people are killed. The Baha'i view is that homosexuality is a concern for medical science, and until a method is found to alter the condition, we rely on encouraging people with the disability to remain chaste. It's not that we are against them loving o... |

My big sister was visiting one day, and we were talking about health. I was the only one in the house not sick at that particular moment.
Sister: "Except you've got Asperger's Syndrome, so you're sick all the time."
Me: "..."
Sister: "It's OK! I've got ADHD, so I'm sick too." |
