On Good and Evil
In contrast to a number of
other religious doctrines and philosophies, the Bahá'í
Faith does not teach that the physical desires of
human beings are "evil" or "bad."
Everything in God's creation is regarded as
essentially and fundamentally good. In fact, the very
purpose of the human body and its physical faculties
is to serve as a proper vehicle for the development of
the soul . As the energies of the body are gradually
brought under the conscious control of the soul, they
become instruments for the expression of spiritual
qualities. It is only undisciplined physical passions
that become causes of harm, and hinder spiritual
progress. > GO TO

too little understood, many youth feel caught in a
maelstrom, unsure of how and why they should respond
with hope when their experiences are so fraught with
pain. > GO TO

or centres of interest to which they can turn: Iran,
Israel, America and a disparate array of sites across
the surface of the earth. >
