I'm a bit biased towards the one that proclaims that Jesus is not simply a prophet but the Son of God, God incarnate.

They are all pretty awful - I'd say Judaism is the least worse, with Islam being the worst, and Christianity somewhere in the middle.

In General it depends on what part of the world you grow up in. Most people simply parrot what they grew up in, and don't take the time or effort to research and learn for themselves. " Being one, truth cannot be divided, and the differences that appear to exist among the many nations only result from their attachment to prejudice. If only men would search out truth, they would find themselves united." " The fact that we imagine ourselves to be right and everybody else wrong is the greatest of all obstacles in the path towards unity, and unity is necessary if we would reach truth, for truth is one."

I don't know a whole lot about the Baha'i Faith compared to the other 3 but it seems like the most reasonable one of the four so Baha'i Faith is the best

My family goes back generations of following the christian faith so my bias answer is Christianity. I would love to learn about other religion and i don't think less of anyone for believing in something else. I was born in a christian family so i'll hold this belief to the grave Jesus Christ will reign king of earth one day

They're all kind of silly and prohibitive. That said Jesus was a pretty cool guy and unlike the other religions mentioned he was quite a bit more forward thinking. If I had to choose a messiah (good thing I don't) it would be Jesus.

Yeah, if you think about it, Jesus didn't tell the woman who was sitting down listening to him to get back in the kitchen and cook, and he didn't seem to condone slavery, which i think was present at the time.

Bahaism is forward thinking too. It actually supports the idea that faith and religious morality should be more a personal thing and not an imposition. And that it changes with time.

Really? From what I can see it seems quite prohibitive even if the things it prohibits can be seen as detrimental. I'd rather be able to drink, gamble, have sex before marriage, gossip and lie and then just have to regret it and/or repent in some way.

You won't find too many religions where these things are acceptable. Most religions tend to frown on behaviors that are detrimental to society and civilization. That's one of the main functions of religion. Giving culture a moral code to live by for the betterment of society.

Basic Baha'i Beliefs


- the abandonment of all forms of prejudice

- assurance to women of full equality of opportunity with men

- recognition of the unity and relativity of religious truth

- the elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth

- the realization of universal education

- the responsibility of each person to independently search for truth

- the establishment of a global commonwealth of nations

- recognition that true religion is in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge

Islam, best documented easy to understand, sophisticated. First demand of God to the Prophet wasn't to worship God rather it was to read. has some surprisingly accurate scientific fact proved over time. If I was to describe its correct application in one word. it would be... Justice.

Except against debaters and people who want to reason with one another, bahai don't typicall tolerate that.

- assurance to women of full equality of opportunity with men

Except when women want to become one of the universal house of justice

- recognition of the unity and relativity of religious truth

Except when anyone contradicts Mirza Al hussain


- the establishment of a global commonwealth of nations

Except you forbid politics so you set yourself an impossible goal

- recognition that true religion is in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge

Except when it comes to the virgin birth of Jesus

Everything needs centralized leadership. Chrsitianity has the Pope and various Clergy. Since the Baha'i has no clergy or preachers the UHJ is a governing body whose members are elected by worldwide vote. It's a nine year council elected at Five year intervals. Bahá'u'lláh wrote that since for "each day there is a new problem and for every problem an expedient solution, such affairs should be referred to the Ministers of the House of Justice that they may act according to the needs and requirements of the time."

Exactly which refutes the notion bahai is inherently personal you are demanded to follow the dictates of hte council if you want to remain bahai.

I'm simply pointing out that bahai is not as black as white as you make it seem. Should I mention the intense hatred bahai have of logical debate and discourse? That they practically shun anyone who engages in it?

For this exact reason. It's pointless to try and reason with the indoctrinated spiritual dead. You believe the earth is 7,000 years old, you are incapable of reason.

Actually the earth is what billions of years old? I don't know the number, but I do when people accuse me of being a fundamentalist they usually don't know who they are talking to. But if you want to deny the universal house of justice and hte virgin birth of Christ go ahead. Also you can deny all you want that the bahai don't discourage debates, don't try to avoid them at every turn, don't try to convince others who try to debate bahais that they are doing something that is wrong but we both know that would be a lie.

So the fact that I don't buy a modern CGI rendering of Christ based on mere probability tells something about me... yeah I guess it does.
