Teaching world religon has many positive effects, probably people would be more aware and educated about what is going on all over the world. I know I wish I was educated about all this at a young age.
Me, too. I am becoming more and more discriminating about the sources whom attempt to teach comparitive religions, though.
As a Christian, much of my belief is faith based, rather than historically based.
It becomes a challenge to remain true to the teachings and yet remain true to the facts.
For example, Jesus rising from the Dead:
Is that a fact about Christian Belief or is that an aspect of the faith?
Some would argue that without a resurrection, you dont have Christianity.
