should it be nescessary to study all religions before being allowed to join one?

Question

also should there be a minimun age before being allowed to join a religion

Answer 1

LoL do u have any idea how many religions there are out there? There are thousands!!!! Everyone would be studying each religion until they died from old age. People should be given the choice to find the one that they feel the most passionate about and choose that one.

Answer 2

studying all religions would take forever, or atleast most of your life.......
I am not religious, my soul is of a spiritual nature. If your religion/spiritual preference, helps to get you through this life allowing you to treat others with respect and love along the way, it could be a good thing at any age.

i replaced into raised Protestant, my mom grew to grow to be a born lower back Christian, I grew to grow to be an atheist, then a Christian, then a spiritualists, examining many distinctive faculties of although on spirit, soul, god etc. I had popular muslims all my existence and in no way gave it a 2nd although ever that i could grow to be a muslim. I mean they the place beautiful people yet I knew in basic terms as many Catholics, Hindu's, Sikhs, Jehovah's Witnesses etc and in no way had a 2nd although i could grow to be any of those the two. Then sooner or later chatting with a muslim pal I reported something out of lack of understanding, no longer something derogatory in basic terms an assumption approximately women people in Islam and that they corrected me very patiently and in a well mannered way and that i although nicely consistent with danger there are a number of different issues i'm taking with none attention are authentic yet upon looking below the exterior ought to earnings greater. I went to my community e book shop, offered a Quran and started interpreting. Of all of the questions I had approximately faith all my existence the place without notice spoke back. I study and asked questions, yet what does this mean, how can this be that.....etc etc and all of it in basic terms clicked into place. I study God say the words "have faith in me" and it replaced into actually like my coronary heart burst open, I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes with an overpowering feeling of "that's it, i visit be a Muslim". and that i did and that i've got in no way appeared decrease back. i like Islam i like each thing approximately it, the individuals, the well being factors, the technology, the team spirit and of path the all encompassing feeling that i'm on the authentic course that i'm submitting to the will of God.

No minimum age as it belongs to ur believe and ur faith grows in ur heart as u grow, but u must be capable of making your decision and ur destiny

Answer 5

I don't think it should be a law, but I do think it would be a good idea for every person to survey at least a few different religions, or consider none of the above.

I think it's sad that parents try to indoctrinate their children at such a young age. These parents mean well, of course, so it is hard to fault them.

Answer 6

I think that's a great idea

more people would actually "know" vs believe blindly and respect other's views

often the wars come from fears of the unkown or just not willing to talk and exchange experiences, which unlike beliefs can't be argued

Answer 7

No one should ever join a religion that does not allow you to grow and change. O.K. If you're allowed to grow and change, why would you be afraid to "belong" for awhile to the group of your choice?

Answer 8

NOPE! Our life span is too short to study even a small percentage.

There is "The age of reason" before one can join the Church on The Southside - the one I attend.
