RELIGION DAY - WHO CARES?

Yesterday the radio carried some of President Bush's speech commemorating Freedom of Religion Day.

We did not see anything in the news indicating that Baha'is shared in the commemoration of this day. We were disappointed!

We know they have created a "World Religion Day," but something called "World Religion Day" gives no mention that anyone has a right to practice any of them. The "World Religion Day" was created, like Kwanza. It is not in the Bab's original calendar adopted by the Baha'i religion.

Last but not least, we are privileged to know that Baha'is all over the world are reading "Baha'i Fantasy News Service" as avidly as we ourselves follow the Weekly World News. We hope that as they are amused and entertained, they may also find for themselves a nugget of something that used to be easily recognized as Truth.

We think it would be nice if next year around this time the Baha'is remember to appreciate the country which gives them the right to be Baha'is, and join with other Americans in a sober celebration of Freedom of Religion day.
