The Gods (the pagan Gods that is) call people via language.How does your view reach to the world?
Nope, no denying it. It's all true. That is why I am politically active in my town by volunteering to serve public office and to help stop the corruption from the bottom up because that is how it flows. Local leaders refusing to apply law to everyone equally and cherry picking which ones to follow and which to ignore. Covientily, always favoring the money and power over what's right and fair.The powers working against you are winning. They are too big and too rich to care about the future. They are too busy making money to consider anything but their bottom line. Can you deny that?
He has warned us and told us how to avoid eviction, and how to be chosen for renewed tenancy, once he has cleaned up the mess.
I have my name on that list....what about you?

I agree it is a losing battle but is it better to sit around complaining about the corruption and destruction of our planet but being unwilling to do anything about it except preach about a bronze age myth? Or is it better to try to work to change the small parts one can?
It boils down to a choice of giving up and living in a bubble or fighting for change. I agree the bubble is a much happier and stress free place but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least try to help and instead threw my hands up in the sky and happily believe some big magic daddy is going to come take care of things.
No, no gods are going to fix your problems for you. And spreading stories full of false hope and isn't going to help the issues either. Sure, it makes some people feel happy and special but it has no actual effect on the changes we need to survive if that's even an option at this point which I'm not convinced anymore.
Definitely not on the same list as you. And I have zero need or desire to be on it either. I'll live this real life as honestly and compassionately as possible while striving for fairness until I die. That I get to experience this one hard fought but fulfilling life is enough of a reward for me.
And if you actually do wake up someday living on gold paved streets with everything you could ever want, I'll be happy to have you tell me you told me so.
whirlingmerc, asked:
Does your religious view have a call to the nations to worship God and how?
How does your view reach to the world?
or does it keep to itself?
Baha'is believe all the major religions have a common spiritual origin and the Prophets and Messengers or Founders of the religions have a common function: To reflect the attributes of God and provide the teachings needed by humanity for the period when the Revelation from God occurs....
"Religion is the outer expression of the divine reality. Therefore it must be living, vitalized, moving and progressive. If it be without motion and non-progressive it is without the divine life; it is dead. The divine institutes are continuously active and evolutionary; therefore the revelation of them must be progressive and continuous. All things are subject to re-formation."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 224)
Baha'is are active in hundreds of communities and promote education and consultation on the problems facing communities. Baha'is are involved in Inter-faith activities as well, such as the Parliament of World Religions.
The International Baha'i Community has an NGO status with the United Nations.. It is non-governmental and offers consultation to member states of the UN:

65 page extract! Thanks, Loverofhumanity; and thanks to the editors/approvers/publishers of the extract, and to Shoghi Effendi who wrote all that. Will read it in my next birth.
Even if I do not object to 'divine', why Bahaullah, and why not Vivekananda or Ramana Maharshi? What is so special about Bahaullah? Is there? Of course, the 'Maid of Heaven' did not visit either Vivekananda or Ramana Maharshi. Ramakrishna Mission also is doing nice work all around the world without asking anything in return."..

Those, and a thousand others. But when Baha'i is an upgrade on Islam , which was an upgrade on Christianity, which was an upgrade on Judaism, which was an upgrade on Sanatana Dharma, how positively primitive we must be in those eyes!
No chance of two incredibly different paradigms having nothing to do with each other each changing through the ages.
And many of us, probably half the planet, have done just that. But some folks just need somebody else to tell them how to behave or how to think. If some of those guys would have written what to have for breakfast and at what time, a million plus people would all be eating the same thing at the same time. Just think of that. Such harmony.The fact remains that we could have done without any of them by just being humane.
Yes probably.That, I think, is done in North Korea. Complete harmony.
The extreme duality (good and evil) of Zoroastrianism means it was not just modified, but practically changed to be unrecognisable as Vedic.The people in Middle-East were aware of a modified form of Vedic religion, i.e., Zoroastrianism, which too was monotheistic.
I just cannot figure out what you mean by this.OR they climb down out of their ivory tower and join the rest of the rats on the ground. After all there is good incentive to become a rat.
Actually, I don't know what you mean by this either.When the "do-gooders" go into politics, they have only two choices....either they battle against an irresistible force and have to give up because they want to keep some sense of personal integrity......

Actually, I don't know what you mean by this either.
Please explain both and then tell me what you think people who are concerned about the path humans are on are supposed to do about it in THIS life. That's all I want to know from you. I don't do all of the religious stuff. So what else is there?
