People come together and discuss God, Religions and Beliefs.
I would love to speak to agnostics, christians, atheists every sort of belief system people. All in one room.
Dont you think more knowledge can be gained from a meeting with all religions together than just sticking to discussing these things with people with the same beliefs?

Your meeting would turn into a shouting contest.

Some churches do sponsor interfaith dialogues. One of the local Episcopal churches often has Buddhist monks come in, and also Muslims and Jews. Same for the Unitarian church, which has a long record of positive interactions with people of different faiths, including the Pagan community. Also, there are roundtable discussions and different events, sometimes sponsored by university clubs or other groups, in which there is a safe forum for learning about other people's beliefs (or lack of beliefs). If there is not such a meeting in your area, then why not start one? I've attended some of these events, and find them quite interesting. I enjoy having a chance to learn about the beliefs of others.

Try a World Religions college discussion course..
Usually the instructor will act as moderator so things don't get too out of control and there will be some lively discussions..

Of course. If you were to sit down with atheists there is every liklihood that you will gain more knowledge. I've already investigated religions, probably more than you, so I'm afraid that the intelligence stream would not be likely to flow in the other direction but you never know, perhaps you have something to say that I've not already heard.

The thing about this that is interesting is, situations like this have happened, but it always seems like the Christians, true Christians, try to speak in Love and the atheists start cursing and yelling when things don't go there way. Kinda makes you wonder.

Interfaith Councils.
You won't have the chance to talk to people of *every* religion, though, because most Interfaith Councils don't allow evangelizing or bigotry, which means a LOT of Fundamentalist churches don't want to have anything to do with them.

Not possible.
But Jehovah's Witnesses talk to all people with all faiths and we have wonderful conversations even if we disagree. We have love of God, therefore, our neighbor too.

Matthew 28:19,20
Matthew 22:37-40

Go to a PTA Meeting or any other group meeting and bring up the topic of religion.

Definitely. I've heard that some Unitarian churches are like that. Maybe Buddhist churches?

That will never happen and be a peaceful day. It wouldn't be a wise thing to do...and nothing but fights would break out.
