    Default Looking for a site...

    I'm looking for a site that teaches about varous religions. I want to open up my childrens world a little more and not living in NYC anymore can make that a little difficult. LOL
    Do you know of any sites that teach a little bit about a bunch of different religions...maybe geared for younger minds?

    I have not been able to find anything but I did find some basics if you do a search under Philosophy, Ethics, and Morality. When my kids were real little I wanted to Homeschool and I attended the big Homeschooling seminar every year hoping to find what you are looking for - I was able to get little publications from this and that religion mostly extremely conservative like menonite and eavangelistic types (Rod and Staff) but I could never find anything that kind of told about world religions. So I tried to change my ohilosophy text books (from college) to kid appropriate ones. Eventually I found the Kindness curriculum and used the Virtues as an opening platform to discussing AND ACCEPTING different religious beliefs. If you find anything let me know as we have no Religious background and I think the kids will never be too old to learn and make their own choices.

    Also I just ordered a book from a German psychologist and Philosopher who does give a broad overview of all the religions as they pertain to morality. I will let you know about it when I get it - whether or not its any good or at least remotely applicable.
