Hi Susan, my whole point is that it is up to each of us, and those who
stand
in the way of that, and lead people to believe that they have answers that
keep others from investigating in their own ways are harming the ideal,
eternal, and glorious Religion of God.
If you believe the NSA will automatically and immediately stop people from
running for President of the United States please believe that. You are
commanded by God to believe what you have investigated and reasoned and
independently decided. However, I find such a belief jaded. My respect
for
my national assembly leads me to believe that these people will listen
with
open ears to whatever nonsense or genius exists in the Baha'i community
under their jurisdiction. That the automatic gainsaying of "no" to
anything
not specifically and clearly commanded by our protected and treasured
Writings is not something my Baha'i representatives would do.
Furthermore, I don't think you can speak for the NSA and tell anyone what
they will or won't do. At least that is my fervent hope and eternal
prayer.
