|    The boundless intellectual dishonesty of    |

      From: wahidazal66@gmail.com              Gomer: "NONE of those gave me what I would accept as evidence, since they are       ALL digital copies of pages of the Bayan in ARABIC! I can't read Arabic,       dammit!""               Because Gomer does not like the evidence presented to him, he simply waves his       hands and calls it no evidence. That he cannot access the evidence because he       can't read Arabic is his own problem. The evidence was presented and it is       there in black and        white. Evidence cannot be dismissed simply because a given interlocutor is       illiterate. The nature of the evidence does not change because Gomer cannot       access it. The evidence remains what it is irrespective of Gomer's illiteracy       and can be verified by        those who do read Arabic. To say otherwise is intellectual dishonesty of the       first order, nor does the world revolve around Gomer. QED              From Mission Problems in New Persia, 1926, p. 83, 87 and 89 quoted by William       McElwee Miller in The Baha'i Faith: It's History and Teachings, 1973, p. 289.              Quote              "...There is no conscience with them [ i.e. the Baha'is], they keep to no       principle, they tell you what is untrue, ignoring or denying undoubted       historical facts, and this is the character of both the leader and the       led...As to morality and honesty, the        whole system has proved disappointing...I have been in contact with many       Baha'is, and have had dealings with many and have tested many, and       unfortunately I have met not a single one who could be called honest or       faithful in the full sense of these words..       ."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
