If you want to see a fine example of Baha’i individual initiative, you only need to visit www.bahai-education.org. Chad has done a fantastic job of creating the best religious study companion in the way of a full reference library from every world faith. I have used many various programs through out there years in my own studies. Even in the old DOS days 
… but Ocean has gone way beyond any of them by referencing the most extensive library I have every seen.
The beauty of this program which is once again so in line with the Baha’i principle of the Independent Investigation of Truth is that any person of any religious background, or non-religious background can use this program to quickly gain authoritative reference to the holy text of every faith without prejudice. I have recommended this program on many occasions and consider this program a MUST to anybody who is seriously seeking God, or wanting to investigate the claims of any of the Messengers of God.
After just a few searches, without the dogmas, without the superstitions, and without the interpretations of a clergy, priesthood, or pastor, anyone can see with their own eyes what God has revealed to humanity all through out the ages. It’s been my experience though, that most just do not make the effort because they are just far to comfortable not knowing. There is a great quote from the Bible that comes to mind as I write this. Took me just a few seconds to reference it in Ocean to quote here :
3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
(King James Bible, Revelation)
God prefers you to be for or against Him. God only deals with the passionate.. hot or cold.. but if your a lukewarm drab, you’re spit out … He goes on to list some of the excuses that people make, and then judges your real state of being. He then goes on to counsel you to do what is difficult, to seek good from God, that you may be truely rich, and can ’see’. I like this quote a lot, like many other quotes from the Bible. It’s interesting how God often refers to lukewarm people as the worst kind in other references through out all Holy Writings. How do I know? Ocean gave me a quick and easy reference to see over all of them. 
Gee I think I am getting off topic here… bringing it back.. the lukewarm won’t care for the Ocean Library, but the hot or cold, will LOVE it
