(I guess this is a Vatican II question?)

Curious what the Church teachings are about how Catholics should view Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc..

(side question: given that I know so many wonderful Jewish and Muslim people, is it possible for me to convert to Catholicism (which I'm contemplating), if I admire and respect these faiths so much?)

Thank you in advance for your insight and ideas.

Why?

Two of my friends got in a lot of trouble at school for some sort of drug posession or somthing. One of their parents said that if she got introuble agian, they'll send her to this really wacked out boarding school near the area. At this thought, she said she was going to kill herself (literally) if this "punishment" is executed. The other friend however didn't have any harsh punishments except the usual disappointment from parents. She said that if the other girls kills herself, then so will she.

I know, I know. This has got to be the stupidest desicion of their lives and I hate it. I keep telling them that they are being really idiotic about this and its just a school punishment and new school NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. I also told them that if there was life after death, they would regret this so bad in the future. But it seems that there is literally no time like the present. How can I get some sense in to their dumb minds? I don't want anything to happen because I didnt stand up

I think mine are loud people on cell phones in public places and people who talk on their cell when they are hanging out with friends. Oh, and people who do not say thank you.

I think they were so in tune with God and locating Heaven that nothing else in the world mattered. Not the people on Yahoo! Answers, TV, nobody.

Get the point?

What led you to your belief in Jesus Christ? And were you earlier a member of specific Religion? Why did you choose to attend a Non-Denominational Church?

But in 1995 the SBC finally admiited it was wrong about slavery and racism. If the SBC was completely wrong about slavery and racism, then is it possible that they might be completely wrong about the pressing moral issues of today? The SBC has always used the bible to justify its position. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Baptist_Convention

He supports capital punishment. Was responsible for the most deaths due to capital punishment while he was the Governor for Texas. Now he is reponsible tens of thousands of deaths of innocent Iraqis and thousands of US soldiers in search of non-existent WMDs. Only old degraded warheads from previous wars were found.

He likes to prejudges and shoots first. Ask questions later and look for evidence afterwards. He's like a bad cop who shoots your dead first just because he thinks you look like a thug and then tries to find anything illegal on you. He finds a swiss-army knife on your keychain and reports that he had to shoot you first because you were concealing a weapon.

What do you guys think?

What's the point of a forum created to disseminate knowledge if morons who can't write/spell/think can post crapola like, "which 1 of my eyes do u like better?"

How about a new website - Yahoo Obnoxious Answers to Stupid Questions

And that if I ever truly believed in Jesus, then I still would?

So - only "true" Christians remain Christians all of their life, huh?
Anyone who leaves is a "fake" or a "fraud", huh?
That's the proof of a "true" Christian?

Anyone ever think that this sort of rhetoric possibly contributes to causing others (or at least me) to decide to leave; causes one to change his/her mind/heart/spirit?

Why do I even care?

(Sorry for a series of questions, but they all stem from the same comment.)
