Baha'i's in Iran

There is for example a doctrine against religious fundamentalism, and women are meant to be entirely equal to men. So that's a movement in the right kind of direction. The supernatural stuff I'm not particularly worried about. It is apparently against homosexuality but then I think they just about all are for some reason.

It's not idiotic at all, it's just a little bit eccentric by Western secular standards.

All these guys believed in God. Some of the finest scientific minds in human history.

They believe the only valid expression of sexuality is within a marriage between a man and a woman. The idea though is that if you're not a Baha'i you don't have to live by those laws.

Perhaps marriage is the spiritual ideal to aim for if you can manage it. I can't really with it. Homosexuals ought to be allowed to marry as well though.
