Re: The future global religion to be
[ QUOTE ]
Ok, a question:
The 12 principles listed earlier in the thread seemed very non-forgiving in a 'my way or the highway' sense. Are these representative for the religion or am I just misinterpreting them?

The principles specifically are supposed to be goals for the future. I've honestly never heard the "obedience to government" one, but Baha'is aren't supposed to engage in partisan politics. I think there is a pretty large debate within the religion right now about your very question.
A lot of the people at the top seem to have this my way or the highway attitude. Unfortunately for them, the religion itself teaches that everything is a personal responsibility and that you aren't supposed to get into other people's business. I personally think the situation right now isn't the best, but there are quite a few people trying to change it. Who knows if they'll succeed or not.
