AboutSuzanne Gerstner Expertise I can answer questions on all aspects of the Baha`i Faith, but am most interested in the spiritual teachings of this and other Faiths, and the interconnectedness of all religions. I believe that true religion should bring about love and unity. This is what the world really needs right now and the Baha`i teachings have a lot to offer on this subject.
Experience I've been a Baha'i for the past 23 years and have been answering questions on the newsgroup soc.religion.bahai since 1998.
Education/Credentials BA in Liberal Arts; Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and am currently working on an MA in psychotherapy.
As in all religions, the Baha'i Writings have two types of laws. One sort is spiritual laws about how to treat one another -- to be kind, loving, honest, humble, the well-wisher of everyone, etc. The social laws are things like not having sex outside of marriage or drinking alcohol or taking mind-altering drugs without a doctor's permission.
