Asunto: Re: Against nature... The Baha'i Studies Listserv Hasan, any list of religions and spiritual traditions will show the almost infinite number of Faiths, Communities, Revelations, etc. that exist and are extant, not to mention extinct and reconstructed ones. Also, in the topic on post conventional morality, the topic was more on the variety of new religious movements and their impacts on morality in society. Hasan, you seem to hold that religions and spiritual traditions are all intrinsically higher than philosophies and thoughts. I have no opinion on the matter, but am familiar with various religions like Raëlism, Scientology, Neo Gnosticism, Adi Dam, Ahmadiyya aka Qadianism, Happy Science aka Kofuku no Kagaku, Sahaja Yoga, Rastafarianism, etc. I'm not that interested in them, but I know about them is the point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_new_religious_movements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_religious_movement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Neopagan_movements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism_(contemporary) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UFO_religions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_religion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buddha_claimants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maitreya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_avatar_claimants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_messiah_claimants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messiah_claimants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_claimed_to_be_Jesus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mahdi_claimants Sent from my iPad On Apr 27, 2013, at 15:32, Hasan Elías <hasanel...@yahoo.com> wrote: >The Baha'i Studies Listserv >Hi, > > >I read few messages of Stephen Gray, I think he trusts so much on philosophers >and thinkers.

I don't fit neatly into any category. I am generally moderate, but have no compunction about adapting workable ideas from a variety of perspectives.
