I was reading about Dizzy Gillespie and it was saying that he was into the Bahá’í faith. Do any of you have any experiences with it? Do you know anything about it?
Its tenets of encouraging the unification of humanity spiritual work through helping humanity universal education and universal tolerance are very appealing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_Faith

I know a girl who is in some kind of tiny splinter group that came out of that. She's one of the weirdest people I have ever met.

yes. "weird" seems to be a common theme there. but they are mostly harmless, as far as i know-- it' not like scientology or anything.
they have a kickass building on mount carmel, i saw it from a distance. ![]() haifa is a strange town |

That sounds like a very positive belief system. They have an anti-gay stance though tolerance is a major tenet of the religion. And they are anti premarital sex. They are anti-alcohol...Although anti-alcohol isn't necessarily a completely bad thing. from their website: Quote:

is that the one where it's litke all of the religions joined together (ignoring the contradictions). like they believe in jesus and mohammad and allah and buddha and so on and so forth. i think they think they're all prophets (well not allah, i guess he's the main one). i dunno. i did a religion elective thats all i can remember about it.
