On More Mentions of the Baha'i Faith: Random or Not

According to my unscientific research, general awareness of the Faith continues to increase, popping up daily in "random" blog entries. -gw

Three of my most favorite people in the world ARE...Republicans (so was Abraham Lincoln), some are Baha’i’s (go look it up), one is a Jesuit, another a Presbyterian minister, a Unitarian-Universalist (look that one up too) and another of my dearest is a Moslem – a convert, no less.


Oh I forgot to tell you about the crazy old guy who worked with us!! He says we're in the wet cycle of the earth! every twenty years we go from drought to wetness. In the year 2012 when the mayan calender ends thats when Jesus will come back! Well if you're Baha'i you're 160 years off more or less. He'll be 80 years old when the dry cycle starts up and the ozone is burned up because the world is recycling itself and he suspects about 10% of the population will survive because we can adapt. It'll be kind of like the flood with Noah, cleansing and rebirth he says. Finally, the left and right lanes are the safest on the highway because you have the shoulders. And this is what the old man graced me with at seven in the morning.


Thank you, DJ Sabzi, for teaching a whole bunch of people crowded into a lightly smelly underground room that hiphop artistes who adhere to the Baha’i faith can also be funny....


Despite the ridiculous name, PoIP [CNet] isn't such a bad idea. Attendance at places of worship have decreased, partly because of loss of faith, partly because of busy lives. PoIP, or Pray Over Internet Protocol (though it should probably be "Prayer") lets prayers be broadcast over speakers. ... Marginalized faith groups that are spread out over the world (for example, the Baha'i) could synchronize their prayer.
