Would you rather let children of another race or of another relgion play with your child? If given the choice?

Answer 1

Why would it matter?

Answer 2

I'm an atheist, and given JUST those two choices, I'd go with another religion. I would teach my children in all ways and all times that race is a non-issue, that the color of a person's skin is not so nearly important as the content of his character. Therefore, the racial difference would not be educational. But a child of a different religious/nonreligious belief would have a vastly different world viewpoint and thus both my child and that child would be able to mutually enrich each other.

Answer 3

I do not have any children, but I think it is not fair not to associate with others that do not have the same ideas or ideology.

It is my belief that you as a parent should train a child in the way they should go and as they grow up the always will follow the way you taught them. Clear communication and affirmation to a child a he/she grows give confidence and the child in the long run is able to have confidence and make good choice.

Let the child make their choices after teaching them. As they become adults you can not protect them from the world but rather the best you can do is to enable them to develop good social skills that will enable them to live with others people in harmony.

Be real, you can not remove your child from the world, they live in the world and must interact with people to live fulfilled lives. Humans are social beings, we should learn to have unity in diversity or rather have a certain level of tolerance.

My advice is to place checks and balances to give guidleine to your child on how they should live, how to make the right choices and trust that they will learn from their mistakes.

Only stop your child from interacting with someone if it is detremental to thier health (Phyically, Mentally). You will be surprised that we can all learn from each other. People are always afraid of things that they do not understand or know. Give people a chance it could suprise you.

Answer 4

And why would either matter? I was capable of teaching my children our beliefs and able to allow them to associate freely with others.

Addendum: only once did I influence one of my children out of a relationship. She was very young and very impressionable (6 year old.) Her friend was being raised in a home in which the parents obviously subscribed to KKK philiosophies. All I did was have a sit down talk with DD reminding her of her other best friend who was black and how these ideas were unfair and hurtful to the girl. I also talked to the other girl's mother about how I wasn't raising my children to hear such racial insults, etc. DD made her choice to distance herself from the prejudice child after this on her own.

Answer 5

This is two different questions, yes?

1) I have no Racial Prejudice. My Child would be encouraged to make friends with any other Child, regardless of Race.

2) I would not allow my child to become involved with Children that are not of Christian Families, or are not Christians them selves.

The Bible is very clear on this , we are to have no fellowship with the World.

Answer 6

Race and religion have nothing to do with who my kids' friends are. They play with the African American kids up the street, and with the Moslem boys a few doors down.

My oldest son's former girlfriend was Goth...she thought she was a vampire, even had her teeth done to resemble fangs. Lovely girl. My middle child was just in raptures over the little Guatemalan exchange student who unfortunately has moved away. My youngest son's best friend is a Jew.

When I was younger, my best friend's were gay. I have even named one of my sons after my gay best friend. I think I'm pretty open minded. Race, religion, sex...they don't enter into it at all. What counts is that my kids' friends are good people and not delinquents.

Answer 7

exscuse but i am not sure what you are getting at i really don't think you would have the aurdasity to come online and make such a comment i mean seriously now i am not sure if i am taking it the wrong way but i think that your asking if i would allow a child of mine (i don't have none but when i do)to play with another child of different race why is there somthing wrong with people of different colors, religoln me personally i am a christian we have a saying about the friends we keep like are the bad people and like that or are they gay now i can't stop gay ppl but i stuff like that and they can't be gay either i think that everyone who is anyone should be as one and play together as one and not be ashamed to have friends of different race religon and ETC..

Answer 8

I would let my children play with any child as long as the child was not having a negative influence on my child. We are all God's children and should all be treated with the same love and respect.

God bless,
Stanbo

Answer 9

As long as they behave themselves. I have just as much problem with a black child acting poorly as I do a white child.

All children love unconditionally. They are taught hate.

Answer 10

It would not matter to me. I know if my children are told something that is outside of what I have told them then they will come to me for an explanation. That includes if I have never said anythinga bout Kwanzaa or Ramadan or Hanukka ( which we have discussed all of them) but if they were told something I missed or left out or did not know all of then I would do my best to find out the truth about whatever was in question and answer them will the honest truth.

Answer 11

Yes
