But then I would combine them in a way that shows that maybe.. just maybe.. all religions have the same deities. That Zeus is the Abrahamic god. And Catholics made Greek and Roman gods into saints

Or maybe they’re not all the same but they all exist and work together. And not in an Neil Gaiman “American Gods” way but in a real and true way

And I could take all the religious holy texts and made one giant book or text from in. It would be monstrous and seemingly impossible to read through. But I dream about it.

As Iranian authorities intensify their nationwide repression campaign, they have sharply escalated the persecution of the country’s Baha’i community through a sweeping wave of arbitrary arrests, violent home raids, enforced disappearances, and property seizures targeting dozens of families across the country.

Wave of Arbitrary Detentions, Property Confiscations

(Geneva) –Iranian authorities are escalating their repression of Baha’is, with a recent series of harsh prison sentences and asset confiscations, the Bahá'í International Community (BIC) and Human Rights Watch said today. Iran’s judiciary has been leading the persecution of Baha’is, amid increasing public incitement to discrimination by state officials, hate propaganda, and disinformation targeting the religious minority community.

“Iranian authorities are relentlessly persecuting Baha’is, depriving them of the most basic human rights in what amounts to ongoing crimes against humanity – solely because of their faith,” said Bahar Saba, senior Iran researcher at Human Rights Watch. “There is virtually not a single aspect of the lives of Baha'is in Iran that has not been affected by these egregious violations and crimes under international law.”
