- Comment on Stop acting entitled and just live your own life 2 weeks ago:
The response I gave was not necessarily for you; it is for anyone who is genuinely interested in answers to the questions you posed. This is a public forum, after all, and God knows I’ve struggled with some of those questions before. I would be happy to discuss these questions from my Baha’i (not Christian) perspective in a good-faith conversation, but if you are not interested, I will not bother you.

I’m afraid I don’t understand some of your questions, so I’ll attempt to answer the ones I do understand.
…why do you believe in any of your statements?
I don’t know what religion YappyMonotheist subscribes to, but I can confidently say they believe in the God of Abraham so I’ll provide some supporting citations from the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions.
Why would god […] favor the righteous?
Believers in God believe that God is the source of all good (James 1:17, Qur’ān 4:79, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh 26:2). Being righteous brings you closer to God (Hebrews 10:22, Qur’ān 41:30, The Hidden Words (from the Persian) 69).
Why would he care that you live by the ever subjective moral code of an age and culture?
Consider the influence of religion on society, and how fundamental its ethics are to our culture’s ethics, even if we’re not aware of it.
Being endowed with something means being given, I assume you means created with?
“Endowed” can mean “created with”, as in Article 1 of the UDHR (“They are endowed with reason and conscience…”), and it is used this way here.
I am sure your god cares about your personal growth…
God created us because he loves us (Ephesians 1:4-6, Qur’ān 2:29, The Hidden Words (from the Arabic) 3). As a being that transcends physical limitations, space, and time (1 Kings 8:27, Qur’ān 2:255, Prayers and Meditations 69:1), why would He not care about every one of His creations personally?
