[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How to you integrate others' religious rituals within your beliefs?  If a close friend or co worker dies and has a funeral service at a church, do you go?

If you come to my house and see that I have crosses here and there and a collection of Bibles, what do you think of me?

If you attend a dinner where there's a grace before a meal, do you participate?[/quote]

Others rituals don't change my beliefs.  Evidence and logic do.  That being said, I don't go around telling people they're wrong for following certain religious practices.  That's entirely their decision, not mine.  I've been to funeral services at churches, yes.  It's not like I can't go to a church.  I just don't think the deceased in heaven riding shotgun with Jesus.

I think my point is that I'm respectful of other's practices especially if they were to invite me over to their home.  I'll "participate" but at the end of the day I don't think anyone or anything is listening to their prayers.

My response and actions all depend on the context.[/quote]
