I never watched Taxi Driver, but I know it is one of Robert DeNiro's early acting jobs. It is also a movie with a young Jodie Foster, and I heard that Hinckley unfortunate got obsessed with her when he saw that film, and inspired his attempt on Reagan's life. But Jodie has gone on to have a good...
I'm afraid I have a limited taste in music. My genre is classical music, but not much classical music beyond the late 19th century. I also don't like much baroque music. I do very much like Enya in contemporary music, but that's an exception. In Yesteryear I especially liked Simon and Garfunkel...
I am not a fan of contemporary pop music. I just know her as the girl friend of Travis Kelce, one of the greatest tight ends in the NFL, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. Whenever the Kansas City Chiefs play on national television, you can depend on them showing a shot of Taylor Swift when...

Voidcat, I didn't know you were a former Quaker. So am I. My father was a Quaker minister. I am proud of my Quaker heritage, though I am a Baha'i now. We seem to have lost touch, and we no longer follow each other. I regret that. I will rectify that I no longer follow you.
Being new here, at least in an active sense, since you first joined in 2017, you probably are ignorant of this, but only those who are declared to be Baha'is are supposed to post here. I appreciate the post, though. I see in your profile that you are omnist basically, and I respect that. There...
Thanks for providing that link. Here is what is said, and what you quoted is out of context:
As to the charge of Bahá’u’lláh having made “errors” in his extemporaneous recall of passages from the Qur’án, the Research Department responds: During His lifetime, Bahá’u’lláh Himself reviewed the...
How some adherents of a religion act have little bearing on the truth of the claims of the Messenger. I recognize terrible things some who claim to be Christians have done and it makes no difference to me when I evaluate the claims of Christ.
I notice that the source of this is from Tehran. Is the Iran government behind these people? We can strongly suspect this is just calumny and propaganda. Since it from people who are not Baha'i I guess we are to think it is objective in some way, which I see as nonsense. I think Baha'is can...
