Does your family practice more than one religion or faith? If so, how do you blend the traditions?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
My sisters & I are of the Non Denominational faith. One sister believes in the Rapture doctrine. We debate that doctrine. Many in my family are married to Catholic's. Most of my cousins are Baptist. We do not argue their doctrines, nor judge them. Only our Heavenly Father can judge, for only He knows the heart, and we thank God for that.

Our Lord's Kingdom is not part of this world.
Should courses about religion be taught in public schools? Why or why not?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
History of Religions should be taught in public schools. Scripture history is more truthful than history books written by man who put themselves in the best light. Religion is a big part of history & should not be left out of education. Our children need to be taught truth, not theories.
Should the Bible, Torah, Quran or other religious texts be taught as works of literature in public schools? Why or why not?

The books of Pslams & Proverbs has some of the best literature ever written in them.
Is interfaith dialogue important? Why or why not?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
It is very important to discuss and not judge. Respect works both ways. We need to understand each other and seek out truth and learn from each other.
Do you feel comfortable discussing your faith with others? Why/why not?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
We are commissioned to share the Good News of the Gospel and make disciples. Matthew 28:16-20 and Mark 16:15-18 We discuss, not force or bully, nor judge or appear superior.
