For those not familiar with Baha’i temples or houses of worship, lmk. I’m a Baha’i in case anyone has questions. Fun fact… do you know who introduced Steve Jobs to Wozniak was a Baha’i? It’s the only tech related thing I could think of when I wrote this. But Baha’is are pretty progressive towards tech.

- somid3 2y agoWell, in Iran the Islamic Republic feels threatened by Baha'is. Most people that hate Baha'is is because they feel threatened by them. For example, Baha'is have no clergy. So all clergy will naturally feel treated as the Baha'i population grows -- that's just an example

- em-bee 2y agoheh, i didn't know that. more well known is actually this quote by Shoghi Effendi written in 1936 predicting the internet: A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvelous swiftness and perfect regularity.
