This is highly revealing. If you'd read everything on the
website, and dismissed everything a particular person had to say
on any topic, or dismissed everything anyone said one a
particular topic, there might be some question about your
objectivity. But when you *totally dismiss every single topic*
regardless of who said what about it, there's no room for
questioning. You're totally partisan.
Your sources are imaginative.
Professor Cole's recent appointment as IJMES editor shows just
what esteem his professional colleagues have for this "source."
I get your point, though. It is obvious

Not even what they claim for themselves! Guidance for your
actions, yes. As to your beliefs, they disclaim being any such
infallible source (out of one side of their collective mouth, at
least.) Who needs or wants an infallible source for his/her
beliefs, and why?
Maybe you could start your own
: bulletin board 'alt.disbelievers.bahaism' or something similar.
He started this newsgroup and arb.
