Most of us do not know how to look for it or what we would do with it when we found it. The end result is one thing when looking at Authors of Holy Writings; it is something else entirely when considering writings in our mass media. Those authors have no responsibility to be unbiased – no matter what they say – or to identify their own biases and eliminate them.

Not necessarily. Beliefs must be based upon a pyramid of facts, carefully checked and rechecked from time to time. For example, today the weather is cloudy, but I still believe that the sky is blue. I will recheck this fact as soon as the weather gets sunny. The same about Baha’u’llah being a Manifestation of God. I have a huge pyramid of facts which prop up this conclusion, but, for example, I read every sound and serious article which says that religion is bad and science is the only way of knowing things—I would not be happy, definitely, if this pyramid crumbles, but I am psychologically prepared to face such a collapse. As the Universal House of Justice says, impartiality is not “methodological agnosticism.”
