Bible Note: I like you Lisa. You are making many sensible, reasonable points. Concerning Christians being martyred, Baha'is also are martyred, more than 20,000 during the time of the founding of the Faith and some recently. In 1982, 10 women were hanged because they believed the Baha'i teachings. One of those women was only 17 years of age. she was a teacher of small children. Before she was hanged, she kissed the rope. Your comment about letting one's life shine as a representative of the Lord is the best advice. The "castration" and "suicide" which you mentioned certainly demonstrates the conviction and possibly sincerity of those who carried out those decisions in their persons, however the routine, earning an honest living and letting the Light from the Lord shine, all exhortations of the Bible writer,Paul, is the True Path. That is also the Baha'i way, and even the adherents of the large body of Baha'is,the 6 million Earthwide, view that reasonable approach as the correct way, despite the fact that the administration of that large group has abandoned the principle Baha'i teachings in favor of a man-made system.
