Actually I dont know. Tabla rassa. But I am tiered of peoples double standards and complaining about life yet fighting against anyone whom wants to do something about it. ... Rather I volunteer the be Jesus, so far I dont know who is doing so. Jesus or Imam Mehdi or anti Christ I dont care (I qualify to anti christ a little bit).

Edit: Life is a game.

There are many such. I dont think it was me. I live in a very secular country Norway.

True. Physically dead. He went up to heaven and his body vansihed from this world (or maybe was hidden i dont know what happened to him after he was crusified). But he went up to heaven right? So there is this chakra system which talks that the mind is above and the body is down. On reason which compells me to claim that I am apostle is because I "like" came down from heaven. And the quran is full of parables, nothing is litteral (we agree on this i assume).

Becaue I have Aspergers. And I used to live very isolated and inside my mind. I totally neglected my body and its needs as if I had no body and only mind. This is as close as it gets.

Well you aren't the first one with that idea.

Jesus, so far as it was one person, was precisely doing that. He was politically subverting the status quo.

However claiming you were the Messiah to this end was normal back then there was literally dozens of these stories, including one very similar with a resurrection. It was a way to get things moving politically, if you were from a marginalized group.

Simply having this concept, opens it up to these claims.

@wreck1 So if you are Jesus, would you bash an Islamist over the head with your book? Do you think this is appropriate or not?

I am egalitarian, but because I says so. (This comes due the the fact that I am stubborn)

You are waffling, being ambiguous, not really related to topic.

I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but it is essential for understanding in Babism and the context form whence it was created, and political movement. Of course it was created in a Shia Islamic environment.


My point is that the Baháʾí Faith arose, historically, out of Twelver Šīʾī Islām. It was not an eclectic combination of different religions.

I said it was an improvement on Islam, like Duze. It is far from a perfect improvement, and should be open to criticism.


I am not a triumphalist. IMO, the Baháʾí Faith is the latest chapter of the religion of God. However, it is an independent religion, not an improvement on Islām. The religion of Islām can stand on its own.

We will have to agree to disagree that it is eclectic, perhaps we have different definitions or thresholds.


Saying that something is eclectic is vague. The more common term used in my field is syncretist. What do you believe that the Baháʾí Faith "eclectically" combined?

I'm saying is combines different faiths yes. Faiths that are are already eclectic even if they claim to be absolute.
