A Bahá'í in Iran

            I grew up in a family and in a country where practicing our religion was one of the main facts of life. I was born in Iran and I was born in a Bahá'í family. The main religion of Iran is of course Islam and living over there as a Bahá'í is super hard but very interesting at the same time. It is hard because Islam doesn't consider Bahá'í as a religion and mainly Bahá'ís in Iran have no basic rights and freedom, but it is also interesting because all these tough circumstances tough us all a great lesson to fight and never give up on our beliefs. As a proud Bahá'í I truly believe that God exists. It is true that in reality God is something that we cannot see and understand with our mind but I believe that the evidence of the God is everywhere. One of the facts that made me think this way is that I think that all the creation in this world is a sign of the essence of God. For example the creation of man is one of them. .
             Bahá'í faith believes that there is only one God who is powerful and unknowable and he is the source of all existence. Human mind doesn't have the power to think of what God really is. In the same hand we believe that God is too great for humans to create an exact idea of. Many parts of the ontological argument make a very good sense to me about the existence of God because this is also what I believe as a Bahá'í. I'm not sure if I understand both arguments as what they are trying to say but from what I studied and learned during the course of this subject I found the ontological argument an easier subject to understand and it made more sense to me. I learned that in ontological argument God is perfect and in order for something to be perfect it must exist, therefor God is real! I disagree with the part that ontological argument states that God is the greatest and flawless thing that the human mind can imagine. I believe that God is perfect, but he is unknowable and we don't have the power to have a good image of him.
