Though legal experts maintained that careful study and even new test cases are needed before the effects of the decision will become fully clear, the impact seemed all too obvious to some sellers of hard-core pornography-against whom the decision was specifically aimed.

At its core, the religion claims that God is a living being who cares about human affairs and makes his will known at intervals through Prophets. The founder of the religion, Baha'u 'Llah, began it with the premise that Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus Christ and Mohammed all were "Manifestations of God."
