John, it is unfortunate that a man of your experience and
understanding can after all these years still believe that virtues and
spirituality are the exclusive propriety of Baha'i, and refuse to look
at the confuting evidence not only proving the contrary but also
demonstrating that such words by Abbas Effendi (not to mention his
father and grandson) are sound bites full of hot air on their part.

I would hope that no Baha'is would be so arrogant as to believe that
virtue and spirituality is the exclusive property of Baha'is. That
would be preposterous!

You miss the point, which is that TO ACTUALLY BE A BAHA'I YOU SHOULD
SHOW FORTH THOSE QUALITIES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. Of course
it applies to all truly spiritual people, whatever religious title
they use. ........ John
