Yes, me too. So what does that mean? I mean, I really don't know enough about Bahaullah to either like or dislike him. I'm comfortable keeping my discussions here on the level of beliefs and practices for the moment. But a Bahai who has looked at the Quran and actually dislikes parts of its teachings and resents its commandments seems closer than me to "rejecting the light" if the Bahai faith were true.
