There are rights and wrongs in this world. You can copy the ideology and overall concepts behind Christianity, but at the expense of separating it from reason. The Bahá'í faith, as far as I'm concerned, is nothing more than a call for unity promoted by "love" that will never happen; you have to accept what you believe as truth or lies. Your faith will fail because war, famine, and atrocities against humans will occur because all humans are inherently evil.

You may have a very misanthropic view of man but I do not share that view. I recommend that you finish watching the rest of Brian's speech.

I wish you only the best,

Your concept that "everyone can be right" is impossible. Other religions do not recognize the union or joining of others, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity chief among them. Islam is about killing those who do not submit to the military might of doctrine and ideals listed in the Qur'an. Muslims, quite literally, are commanded to take over the world and oppress those not Muslim. It is within the principles of your Bahá'í faith, but hardly with the same methods. There is no love in Islam.

[UDRF]

You don't seem to know very much about Islam. Did you know that our culture is based on the work of Islamic scholars? Though Islam may be in it's middle ages today does not mean that that is all that Islam is. If you had researched better you would know that Muslims are only allowed defensive war. That some Muslims fall far away from this ideal does not define Islam any more than the Inquisition defined Christianity.

[UDRF]

That's akin to saying that the God of the old testament is not the same as the God of the new testament.

[ColonelMarksman]

What I have said is that the the Islamic vision of a supreme deity, Allah, and any other god or gods, is absolutely nothing like the God of the Bible, whom I specifically identified as Yahweh, as mentioned in the video which is not correct.

[ColonelMarksman]

Yes I know the word "God" is "Allah", but the English language has room for the word "god" in different interpretations. It's not the same in Arabic. But there's other languages spoken too, like Farsi, Swahili, and Somali, and people who speak those languages recognize the Islamic deity as "Allah". You're using an international grammar problem to support a completely unrelated argument.

[UDRF]

What do you think Arabic speaking Cristian call God?
