Oh, how great that would be if this was what everyone believed. No, not everyone thinks like that and that will never happen because this is not an ideal world where everything is perfect. Even when someone is a little different from others, everyone starts treating that person like he/she is a piece of garbage (Nixon). If this world cannot accept a small difference like this, then how will it accept people with different religions living together and having or adopting kids? Everyone, including interfaith couples, should be able to have their own kids or adopt them.

What’s the point of learning about religion or living with same-faith parents, if the kids’ are not taught how to respect and love those who are different? Sometimes, kids choose not to listen and do whatever they feel like and, in that case, same faith parents can’t be blamed (Kim Abraham and Marney Studaker-Cordner).

To marry for love was considered a dishonor toward the family, displaying affection in the public was an unwritten law that would result in shame. However, as centuries passed, times changed. It is now acceptable to marry for love, but the question is, will the couple’s love be able to withstand the hardships of life?

    Teachers have a vast amount of control over the young formative years of installing certain ideas and beliefs in children. That being we must have a deep concern over what is being portrayed to children involving religion. We must address the importance in not just understanding of different religions, but the concept of tolerating them, not because you are forced, but because you understand the role religion plays in each person’s life. Religion connects to vast amounts of situations and is deeply rooted in our history. We must not confuse our own ideas, with the illusion that one religion is better than the other.…

School systems shouldn’t teach this because although the popular belief it isn’t confirmed and is still only a theory. Adding on, there are no fossil records that prove that we evolved from apes.…
