Answer 1

All of the above. Between friends and family I know someone who pretty much falls into any belief system mentioned above and a few you haven't. Three of my very best friends are catholic and another very close friend is a satanist. I have learned much from each individual because I don't learn from their doctrines, more so on how they apply it to their own lives.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe I could learn something from every person in the group listed above, although in a few case I think the lesson would be that I need more patience. But everyone has a different way of viewing our world, and if we allow them to share that with us, then we are walking away with a knowledge that we would not otherwise have attained. Faith, or the lack of faith, for me, isn't about right and wrong, it is about love and acceptance. If anyone here wants to spend a day sharing their knowledge with me, I will end the day with a thank you, for no matter what you share, I will have learned something, even if the knowledge is that I don't like you, I wouldn't have known that before our day together. Smooches!

Answer 3

All of the above, actually. If nothing else, the different viewpoints can provide different ways of looking at situations and approaching them. Even fundamentalists, because they hold a burning passion for their faith.

Though, I have to admit, like some of the others I've seen, I'd prefer if the person wasn't too rude, so that I'd be willing to actually spend enough time around them to get something accomplished.

Answer 4

I think I could learn something from everyone on the list. I know a lot of conservative christians and even some fundamentalists personally who are really good people. I just don't happen to agree with them at all in regard to religion. But I still don't mind discussing religion with them. It gives me an idea of what makes them believe as they do.

Answer 5

all of the above plus the other religions you missed. Everyone has something they can teach you about life regardless of their faith. And even better would be for everyone to spend some time with each of these people so that they might understand what it is these people believe so religious prejudice might finally come to an end.

Blessed Be )O(

Answer 6

I am sure each may have individuals in them that have something valuable to add to the way I live my life
I wouldnt say religion had anything to do with it though

people are different even within the same groups
some good , some not so

Answer 7

All of the above. There is always something to be learned from others. Whether it is to live by or to never do.

Answer 8

All of the above except : a fundamentalist of any faith. They believe their way is the only way, and it would be a waste of my time to discuss anything, much less try to sift through all of the ranting to find a nugget of universal truth.

Answer 9

I agree with those who said all of the above. You can expand your horizons by learning from different people and their ways.

Very good question by the way! :)

Answer 10

All of the above. I think every human being has something that we can learn from, even if its just how to avoid being a jerk.
