It is they who must raise their voices to end the hatred, exclusivity, oppression of conscience, violations of human rights, denial of equality, opposition to science, and glorification of materialism, violence and terrorism, which are perpetrated in the name of religious truth.. Jesus also said that the Holy Spirit would be with us forever (John 14:16). None of these signs were present when Baha'u'llah arrived on the scene.

They teach that God is so far beyond humans that no one can really know the essence of God. As is often the case, the persecution has arisen from a combination of religious and social factors.
