My point is that you can look at any body of laws and find a way to say this or that is not following the rules properly . To me that is fanatical . So for example if I say I am a Baha ' i and I miss an obligatory prayer and you say I can ' t be Baha ' i because I miss one prayer . To me that is the fanatical way of looking at it . So we see the Revelation of Baha ' u ' llah and many laws and regulations and one can always point to this or that and say it is contradiction . But in this case it is simply a fanatical interpretation of events and circumstance . It shows the looking for imperfections in a fanatical manner . I say I am Baha ' i but sometimes I don ' t say my prayer . If someone says I am full of contradiction from this I say they have the fanatical view . Interesting to note that prayer is mostly in private so we can focus our attention on God . There are many ways to pray and Baha ' u ' llah says many are acceptable . It is a moderate approach . There are fanatical Baha ' i and moderate Baha ' i in my experiences . One can always find contradictions if you look hard enough . Since religion is not rational except through it ' s own logic that is not objective . One person ' s fanatic is another devout saint . If someone asks questions with dubious intent is that dishonesty ? Or are they trying to point out truth in a way they feel is effective ? It depends on your POV . EDITTrust your heart my friend . If you feel the Spirit of Baha ' u ' llah calling you then commune with it . Don ' t ask other humans about things . They can only tell you so much . And certainly the followers of Baha ' u ' llah should be spiritual but the Manifestation of God can never be judged by His followers . His reality is not based on His followers behavior . So if you feel love of Baha ' u ' llah then dwell on it . I know it can be difficult to change a Faith system that has been your life . In a sense it admits error but from another POV it shows life has stepping stones .
