and as they age n get to the age to choose for themselves would u repect it?? or how would u deal with it n others remarks??
I'm a Buddhist and Shel doesn't subscribe to any religion, and we've decided to bring our kids up knowing about different religions and encouraging them to learn and decide which one feels right.

I am very religious, but am also aware that Jazz may not have the same feelings about Buddhism so I'll answer questions and allow her to participate if she wants. If she wants to ask questions of another religion I'll have to seek someone out to answer because I know a little bit about a few religions but definitely not enough to qualify me to answer any questions!

If she wants to practice another religion then that's fine. My thoughts are that she has a right to follow her heart and how can I tell her to believe in something that she doesn't believe...? Most people think I'd be against her practicing Christianity, but I'm not. I just hope that with whatever religon she follows, she practices compassion and respect and understanding to every other being. I think that's what I'd tell anyone who expresses any concern.

This was my parents attitude to religion. They have always respected my religious decisions; to explore and eventually follow the Buddhist religion, and I never felt any hesitation to talk to them about religion, and they were always happy to help me find answers.
