But of course, that is exactly what they will accuse you of saying. "Analogy" seems to be a foreign language to Bahais.I'm not saying the Baha'i faith is comparable to the Nazi party

Sorry, my mistake. It is actually "a shameful sexual aberration that needs to be purged from the world.I just used the words taken from official Bahai sources, words written by Bahai representatives like Bahaullah, Abdulbaha and Shoghi Effendi.
No, marriage is only allowed between a man and a woman.
If a homosexual has gender reassignment surgery then a marriage can take place.
You clearly haven't read the Bible or Quran.Religions do not teach evil.
More often, they do evil deeds out of ideological adherence.Humans do evil deeds out of ego
No, not at all. You need to get a dictionary.If you think there is something wrong with homosexuality, you are homophobic.
here's the source he's using:Please quote the official Baha'i source that says "that needs to be purged from the world."
Do try to keep up, we are long past that. The actual wording has been established and accepted from Bahai sources. The words differ slightly but the sentiment is the same.Sorry, my mistake. It is actually "a shameful sexual aberration that needs to be purged from the world.

Please quote the official Baha'i source that says "that needs to be purged from the world."
A Baha'i marriage cannot take place except between a man and a woman.A civil union is not religious at all though. It's a legal thing. No matter?
The UHJ has determined that homosexuality is a flaw that needs remedied. Do you agree? Isn't calling it a flaw/handicap a prejudice?I do not have a dislike of or prejudice against gay people but I believe that homosexual sex is wrong because that is a Baha'i Law, the Law of God.
@Trailblazer
Thank you very much, but that will not work for him, because that is mixing and matching Baha'i Writings to suit his purposes.
You clearly haven't read the Bible or Quran.
Have you not tried those religions yet?
More often, they do evil deeds out of ideological adherence.
What does "do evil deeds out of ego" even mean? Was it something you read in Bahaullah's gleanings?
Do try to keep up. Sentiments do not matter. Only official Baha'i quotes matter.Do try to keep up, we are long past that. The actual wording has been established and accepted from Bahai sources. The words differ slightly but the sentiment is the same.
Fines are punitive punishments. They are designed to "harm" is as far as they have a deleterious effect on some element of the culprit's life, thus causing them to think twice before doing it again.How are those fines harm others?
Do you think that traffic fines harm people?
and you mixed and matched what was in the quotes to suit your purposes.I just used the words taken from official Bahai sources, words written by Bahai representatives like Bahaullah, Abdulbaha and Shoghi Effendi.
Is your god the same god as a Hindu's god?There is no Baha'i God, there is just God.
He doesn't seem very keen on homosexuals!Yes, God is a loving God.
No, I think it is God, and since Baha'u'llah is God's Representative on Earth....A combination of society, the law, and expert opinion.
Who do you think it is? Bahaullah?
Why?Marriage between a man and a woman is not forbidden.
Any other kind of marriage is forbidden.
So you reject him as an unreliable source on Bahai issues."I" did not say that homosexuality is a shameful sexual aberration - Shoghi Effendi said that.
Religion is not a political party and it does not serve the same purpose."Ye have been called into being to purge the world from the defilement of evil passions [inc. homosexuality]"
"Bahá'u'lláh has spoken very strongly against this shameful sexual aberration"
"Bahá'u'lláh...looks upon homosexual relationships...as immoral and against nature."
"one of the believers who seems to be flagrantly homosexual...should have his voting rights taken away"
"Homosexuality is highly condemned... Any individual so afflicted must seek to overcome this handicap."
Any political party publishing these views would be universally condemned and possibly prosecuted for hate speech.
