The Baha'i Studies Listserv Stephen: Logical people will side with logic; religious people will side with the religion of their choice. Emotional people often fly their passions in the guise of religion or logic or both. Sometimes religions and logic and emotion work together to express truth passionately. Baha'is try to be logical, but always in the service of what we worship. Individual sensitivities do indeed get trampled smetimes in our pursuit of what we believe to be the Divine Plan, inadvertantly by some or even uncaringly by a few. We must have hurt you terribly to arouse such passions as drive your religious logic.
