The Baha'i Studies Listserv Pluralism and subjectivism are simmilar, except one is community based and the other individual based. Pluralism connotates that people born into a religion or born in a culture are pre-destined to be that and that religious community has a right to them. Subjectivism implies people choose their religions.
Baha'i Faith is subjectivistic in that due to independent investigation of truth we choose to be Baha'is. We live in a world where several Manifestations' religions have continued to exist to the present day. ________________________________ From: Susan Maneck <[email protected]> To: Baha'i Studies <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, August 19, 2010 12:48:31 PM Subject: Re: Religion and Exclusivism The Baha'i Studies Listserv > > Any on Subjectivism? > I think that would be a harder one to relate to Baha'i principles. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
