Baha’i: oneness

                There are several reasons that some consider Baha'i the best religion for the modern world.  One of those reasons is that Baha'i tries to unite various major religions, even though many of them are mutually exclusive.  One of the basic principles of Baha'i is the idea of oneness with everyone on Earth, the entire human population.  Most of Baha’i teachings and practices are derived from this element of their doctrine. It's this belief that makes Baha'i so in tune with our modern day world. Our society is constantly struggling for power on each side of every religion but Baha'i tries to resolve these differences by combining all "religious truths" as one greater truth.  The thought behind this is that God intended on many different ways of serving him so he inspired many people in many different ways.  Baha'i is very fascinating with the argument that if all nations were under one faith, all of mankind could move forward and would grow stronger.  Baha'i also condemns all forms of prejudice, because all lives would be better without it.  Baha'i teachings are also based on the idea of science and religious equality.  There should be no conflicts between religion and scientific knowledge and that "any religion contrary to science is not the truth", as Ali said.  As I scientific research increases, the claims of many religions are proved wrong. Yet despite that there are still many people that will continue to believe in those religions.  There are many more principles of Baha'i but they have generally the same tone, true equality for all in every form that all humans can understand while they live in peace and tranquility.
