"Each fragment is a whole" - Nevergreen
Nevergreen paints another exquisite picture with her words with "six moments," a collage of impressions that includes a description of the Baha'i Feast she attended the other night.
Jess describes how her spirit is "flickering to life" through her study of the Baha'i Faith and shares current feelings about the Christianity she was raised up in.

thanks for the nice comment.
i read some of the links you gave me and some of the things this egyptian reader has written and your response...
anyhow, what i mean by this q: "what is religion?" doesn't mean the religions are or are not true... (i like this idea that each religion is for its own period, it matches with the fact that time moves on and things change...there are ups and downs and diff. flows with time, as demands alter !) i know somehow that some forms of Buddhism are very harsh and have gone into extremity(like the fundamentalism in islam), but there are still some buddhists who just stick with the main/principal teachings(among which one is about this very fact that time changes, things change and human's demands change as well!)...
what i'd like to know about it or about Baha'i faith is only out of curiosity, plus the more we know the better thinker we will be eventually,...
but what i want to know about the nature of religion is this" what are the features of a religion; what are there so that we can call it a religion, what does it consist of? what makes it different from philosophy or a theory? does it have to be a collective idealogy or could it also be individual? i mean , is it called religion only it's a collective ideology?!"
you said:"Baha'is, on the other hand, reflect diversity like no other group on the face of the planet. Diverse in age, economic background, religious background, ethnicity, etc."
i'm not sure if i understand it correctly, do you mean those who beleive in Baha'i faith can still have their own religion?! or this "religious background" means they got got attracted to this faith leaving their previous religions behind?!
thanks for wishing me luck for job-hunting as well :)
