The Baha'i Faith

[zanOTK]

Does the concept of a creator god to which you are bound in servitude; by purpose, ever strike you as having the ability to erode some of the other things you hold dear about the faith? From the standpoint of human dignity and rights, is it really prudent to claim that we are bound in servitude to anything at all (perhaps even more precariously so, to a god), for example?

Or, to put it another way, can you tell me that I -was not- created to be a servant and remain within the scope of the faiths position on the matter?

I cannot tell you that you were not "created" (born. I'm assuming, correct me if I'm wrong, that you weren't formed by God directly) to be a servant of God. To be honest, I don't see your point. As a servant of God, I am a servant of man. That's what Baha'is are told, the highest form of worship is service to our fellow man. And, according to the Faith, we were created to "know and worship" God. Since service to our fellow man is the highest form of worship, then we were created to serve our fellow man. I see no issue here.
