Doesn't the Bahai faith, in its own way insist on relativism? I felt
that that's been the elephant in the room during this whole
deconstructionism discussion. For example, the Old TEstament contains
some pretty clear and explicit commandments in favor of genocide.
Wouldn't a Bahai accept such commandments as appropriate for that
particular time?
