world religion in high school

World Religion in School You may know much about the Christianity religion because it is one of the most known in America, but what about Hindu, Muslim, Buddha, Sikh, and Jewish worshipers; what do you really know about them? If children were taught about all the religions, they would know what other people believe in more and could maybe understand others on a whole new level. If you look inside religious books and prophecies we all have the same god in the end up being one person female/female nurturer/needy. Living with people of different religions can be difficult, nut the more you know the more you can learn to accommodate around them. Wars have been fought and people have died over what they believe in, and most people don’t fully know what the people they’re killing believe in; it might even help the world have a greater chance of not having another war.
School religion should be required to graduate in high school. This way people can know at an early age about other religions; this way they can go into their own lives better prepared. It would also help them with the four Questions of Life; who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Studying the basic teachings, texts, and techniques of the world religions would help the new generation of children have common ethical and moral ground to stand on. When you get down to the basics most people believe in the same one god his name may change but the point still stands. Most religions have a strong feeling to want to talk to god and get as close as you can. Many people have said that if they had opened their mind sooner to more religions they would have lived a more abundant life. On a web-site named Explorefaith.org Nick says, “First, my experience has been that the similarities are far more abundant than the differences. Second, there are strong hints in the New Testament that Jesus is reaching out to ‘other tribes.’”
Being able to know about the way you neighbor feels about the world and the people who live in it, and being able to understand what they believe in at their heart would make this world a little better. It could bring a new level on enlightenness to some people and for others it could give some people a better perspective. It would leave people knowing more and being able help at jobs in some cases; being able to know what religious people believe in can help you both get around one another to be able to compromise knowing what you’re actually talking about.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know how to speak to another person and be able to speak to the on almost a different level. Humans yearn for knowledge, and having more is better. Learning about all the different religions can be a huge up-side in life. Plus, the way people believe in something that fully without a second thought is kind of amazing. Don’t you think?
