That is indeed is the Truth. What we hold as predudices are only found when we can let go of self and look with the same critical eye at our own self. This for me is a daily grind, but one I am happy to do.
Your post had lots of points, I will see if I can get back to a few tonight and give some thoughts. My working day approaches fast.

This is the best response you wrote to me but it goes down hill after this.
Yes It was not a full list. Now consider your answer, was it based in a prejudice before you offered it?
I've noticed this is the bulk of your reply to me: "Uh, nah uh, you too bro!" My reply to you was to offer my observation of you and your belief. There are two differences between you and me. First, I know I can be arrogant and act superiorly, and I'll especially question my behaviour when confronted about it, though sometimes I do it on purpose. You however, it seems, cannot do this. You're so blinded by your belief that this becomes impossible because you are following some infallible entity/person/whatever. You have not wavered, at all, to my critique of your behaviour. You cannot seem to realise your superior attitude. If you don't believe me, ask a neutral observer to see whether I'm right. Second, I did not say I have an answer. I was questioning your biases in this matter and your involvement, which you don't want or can't analyse yourself.
I ask as the intent was to offer some refute without clarification.
How am I supposed to refute anything without you clarifying anything? Your responses are always copy/paste scripture without an evidential basis. Here, let me try: The Great Jack says. "you are wrong and Baha is nonsense." Damn, that was easy.
The quote was about some if those prejudices that cause the most conflict in the world
Yeah, and where's your evidence for that other than mumbo jumbo some guy said?
Thus are they good points or not?
They are neither good nor bad: they're assertions. Anyone, I repeat, anyone can assert anything.
It was also delivered by an expert in predudices, from a person that had none at all and lived a life to prove tha we could be prejudice free. So yes, He was qualified to offer that advice. If you want his credentials read of the life of Abdul'baha.
Is there a predudice held against the offered source?
You seem to revere a source and
consequently think everything a source says is correct. Children do this. I don't do this. What I do is examine the context ONLY and then see if it corresponds with reality. Who gives a rats *** about the source. I don't look to see if the context came from some revered figure and then think reality
must correspond with it. This is what zealots do and this is how, in my opinion, humanity destroys itself.
I would again ask you to examine your response for preconceived predudices.
In a way it can be seen your answer just confirmed the quote.
Tu quoque much? I replied to this in the second quote above. The passive-aggressiveness that your response gives is absolutely amazing. If you're annoyed with me just say it, rather than go into these passive aggressive retorts.
