a question about religion Options

[Mulder]

i was thinking about why im agnostic. and i realized, its because i was raised in a christian community, not a jewish one. i never developed jewish ties.


so i was wondering, how do you feel about a child growing up in a community whose major religion is not their own? do you think its bad? do you think that children should grow up in their religious community only? what about public schools?

and i searched. i really did.

I agree with Sammi. Your surroundings may have some part in it, but it's pretty much what you truly believe in. I'm Hindu and used to live in a mixed, but mostly Christian neighborhood and am now living in a Jewish community. You will hardly find any Hindus here, but I'm still Hindu. I don't have any thoughts about converting to any other religion. Yup, it's all in the head.

Children shouldn't have to grow up in a religious community because in my opinion, it limits your knowledge. They can get used to seeing people from that main religion and there's not much interaction with other people. They won't be open to other people and other religions/cultures etc. Of course, this all depends on other factors. One being the individual or how long they spend in a religious community...
