I think that our refuge are the Writings. Books like the World Order of Baha'u'llah are more thrilling than a thriller!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16607511/5020411872877095180/comments/default/7491780575114638930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16607511/5020411872877095180/comments/default/7491780575114638930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.bahaithought.com/2007/05/culture-wars-or-consultation.html?showComment=1178833980000#c7491780575114638930' title=''/><author><name>Neysan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02788360535023823803</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.bahaithought.com/2007/05/culture-wars-or-consultation.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-5020411872877095180' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16607511/posts/default/5020411872877095180' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-1470056830975217475</id><published>2007-05-10T12:23:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-10T12:23:00.000-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks Geoff, nice to read a comment from someone ...</title><content type='html'>Thanks Geoff, nice to read a comment from someone new.
