What is the Bahai religion all about

let me thank you for this posting i am so interested in reading your responsces since i myself know little about this faith amd am interested also !

As was already said. The Baha'i Faith was founded by Baha'u'llah. He taught that all the world religions come from the same God and exist because although truth never changes our ability to understand truth does so at different times different messangers were able to reveal truth in increasingly complex ways as humanity evolves. Just as a five-year old child cannot understand calculus, humanity thousands of years ago could not understand world unity. Baha'u'llah taught that other religions are not wrong, different people even today need different religions because they understand things differently. However, many of the teachings of the past prophets have been corrupted by clergy. Therefore, Baha'u'llah calls for the abolishment of clergy. Hope this helps! For more info see www.bahai.us

Here is another article to consider: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jrcole/bahai/1999/jssr/bhjssr.htm It is a rather scholarly article and in order to grasp it, right from the start even I had to look up one word in the dictionary: "Panopticon" -- as in Jeremy Bentham and his Utopian model for a prison! Speaking of which, if you would prefer lighter reading and a very pretty photo, try this one instead: http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2007/The-Annotated-Bahai-Temple/
