If that is the way you are distinguishing between the two, then yes, you could say the Baha'i Faith is more subjectivist than pluralistic, but that is not the definition that I was assigning to pluralism said the Baha'i Faith was pluralistic. . I was speaking of the approach in which one's religion is not considered the sole and exclusive source of truth, and that at least some truths and true values exist in other religions. __________________________________________________ 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]
