I wouldn't call it bickering, you're discussing a facet of your faith that's important to both of you..that's kinda what forums are for. Also, it's pretty educational for observers (especially dumb ones like me!).
I said bickering because I'm afraid that is what it will devolve in to. Not because of logicalreason, but because of my own weaknesses. I'm afraid I can be a rather argumentative individual at times. However, if you wish to see this discussion I will consent to continuing it here. But! If it does devolve into bickering, I insist that logicalreason and I continue in private.

You seem to be trying to muscle your opinion on me. I already stated that you are a Theistic Baha'i. That's fine with me. Most Baha'is are theistic.
But some like me are non-theistic. Non-theistic Baha'is even existed during the time of Baha'u'llah and He wrote a Tablet about it called "The Tablet of Jamal-i-Burujirdi" and the Universal House of Justice even wrote a letter to a European Auxiliary Board Member about it, found on Bahai-library.
You seem to have a problem with my non-theism, even though I don't have a problem with your theism.
Dear sir, I have no issue with your atheism. I have simply stated that the official position of the Faith is theism, while adding that there is no reason you can't disagree with that position.
If you would please provide a link to the letter written by the UHJ I would appreciate it (since I don't know which letter to search for in the library. There are so many!).
My sincerest apologies if you felt I was attempting to "muscle" my beliefs upon you.
