More On The Bahai

I never realized how popular the Bahai faith was, no did I realize how widely spread it was.  I think it is really interesting that it started in Persia and has expanded to all over the world to multiple different communities.  I think it is really fascinating that there are religions that combine multiple different beliefs from various religions.  Like i've mentioned in previous posts, i really believe that each religion builds off of one another in terms of their ideas.  I think this is very true in terms of the Bahai faith.  For some reason, I am tempted to view Bahai faith as a way of life rather than a religion.  When i think of religion i think of a strict set of rules that one must follow in order to be the best person they can and be closer to God.  The Bahai faith, however, seems more like a loose set of beliefs.  The values taught in this faith don't seem to be imposed on it's followers, rather it seems suggested.  The main idea of Bahai faith is unity and equality.  I really like this.
