about baha'i

wow that religion really makes sense to me!

so it acknolwdges all the other religions??

AFAIK, yes. it is very odd though, i just cant seem to recall everything my teacher told me about it. i dont have a problem with it personally, but as far as it being recognized by other religions, i dont know.

edit: come to think of it, my teacher was really weird to begin with...it my have just been him lol...

hmmm I think this is the religion for scientists, coz of the following values:
-acknoledges all other religions.
-all prophets are messengers from god, and they are all equal (jesus, moses, muhamamd, etc)
-should not put down any particular religion
-relentless pursuit of the truth...
-abandonment of all form of prejudice
-etc

this is sort of like agnostic that believes in god but dont want to choose in any particular religion

wow I truly share all of these values!... so I gues sI am a bahai?? :D

I believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and died for our sins. However, I don't believe in the religious dogma associated with Christianity, where exactly would I fall?

Christian and Catholic are not the same, IMO.

You should have three categories: Non-denominational Christian, Protestant, and Catholic.

just pick christianity then. this poll wasnt meant for a debate of definitions...just generally what people believe in. if you believe in jesus as the messiah, then you are generally in the same category as christians...
