Yesterday I discovered Baha’i while stumbling around the internet.

Sam K — Post subject: Many questions about Baha’i…

Sam had questions, so he posed them on Baha’i Library Forum. Below are his “random” ones. How did the Baha’i friends who responded answer them? -gw

(4) Is the possibility (or impossibility) of life in on other planets addressed in Baha’i? Is Earth the only place that matters in the eyes of God?

(5) Politics. I had a Grandfather who would never swear in church, but was quite enthusiastic about the practice everywhere else. Along these lines, are members of Baha’i required to avoid political discussions entirely, or just with other members of the group?

(6) Are there any dietary restrictions?

(7) Within a marriage, is sexuality for the purposes of intimacy and enjoyment frowned upon?

(8) Within society, are there any activities that are considered unacceptable, such as reading fiction, playing video games, or watching movies with explosions?

(9) What is the expected attire for meetings?
