We are also exempt from Christian and Judaic prayers. We are, however, given our prayer requirements. Drugs and alcohol to 'alter" the consciousness are also prohibited by Baha`u'llah. It is the position of the Central Figures of our faith that the human mind is perfe t for communion with God and tampering with that perfection is a basically flawed outlook.   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
