07/08/2008 | I'm not religious, so every time I attend a religious ceremony, it's other than my own faiths. Always is a good experience to know something more about others cultures and learn new things.

07/08/2008 | Since I no longer really have much in the way of a faith (I'm a pretty thoroughly lapsed Catholic) I'd have to say sure, but with the caveat that I don't seek out religious ceremonies on a regular basis.
On the occasions when I do, however, I prefer a bit of ritual. I like a sense of connecting to history, not being screamed at by some snake fondling ignoramous.

07/08/2008 | Of course. How can I know, see and experience other people's faith if I never attend any of their services. It is a good learning experience, which widens my perception and understanding of other religions.

09/17/2007 | I got married in Vegas. Pretty sure Elvis wasn't a catholic priest, so yeah, I guess I did. Some things never change though. He passed around a collection plate and I was drunk. I gave him a Ceasar's Palace five dollar chip.

09/17/2007 | Nope, I'd never desert the Druids. Then there is nothing better than a good snake handling service for a night of entertainment!

09/17/2007 | I have become high church. I get the willys going to a low church function when you are in a plain barn with some goober sweating and bawling into a mike and waving his Bible.
I gotta have some stained glass and a candle or two.

07/07/2007 | I'm Catholic, and I have been to a few services of several different protestant denominations, although it was always because I had a specific reason to go such as a wedding, or the time we had a jazz band gig at a presbyterian service (yes during the service, not before or after, it was sort of strange). The individual services varied a great deal in my opinion. Some of the experiences were very reverent and prayerful, while others felt empty and meaningless. One even felt like I was just sitting in on a lecture of a history class. But I do have to say that I might feel a little uneasy attending a religious ceremony of a non Judeo-Christian religion.

03/06/2007 | As I served in the Royal Navy I have had the privilege to see much of the world and consequently have seen and watched many Religious festivals; I have also looked around many Temples and Historic religious buildings. I would say that I have enjoyed the education of other beliefs and can somewhat understand cultures allot better because of this. I also studied at a proactive college, where I earned my Degree in religious studies (I lived in Singapore for almost 4 years.) I would say that this experience and Education has taught me allot, but this has only confirmed my faith in Christ. I believe it is healthy to try and understand the people that are around you and those who are far off!

03/06/2007 | I don't know, I have been in a lot of different churches when I had a reason (singing at weddings for example). I'm not sure why I would want to attend a ceremony other than one of my own faith, it's not that I am not open minded but I can learn about them by other means.

08/04/2006 | I would! Attending is not the same thing as converting, right? Plus, the curious person that I am, I'm sure I would learn something interesting.

04/06/2006 | i am always open to learning. it is hard to base an opinion on something you know nothing about. i have always taught my children to also learn about something before they decide whether they like it or not. if you noticed i didn't say try it i said learn about it. for example i'm not going to try skydiving because i've learned i'm scared of heights.

04/02/2006 | I have, out of respect and love for those who I care about who are of various faiths (besides, ANY religious ceremony would be "other than my own faith"; I'm not religious.)

04/02/2006 | For the experience, sure. I don't put much emphasis on the "ceremony" behind religious functions. I find going to church more of a time to reflect on the message. Granted, I have my religious views, but that attending an alternate service is no big deal.

04/02/2006 | One has free will to agree and disagree will whatever may be presented at any religious ceremony. Chances are if you attend a religious service and try to relate with what you may agree upon with an open mind and leave out the rest you'll probably walk away with wisdom.

03/08/2006 | If it was important to someone I loved, I would of course attend with them. NOBODY really knows for sure what religion is the 'right one' if you can call it that. I think keeping an open-mind on everything in life is the best approach.

02/14/2006 | I have already been in some Protestant and Catholic churches in France . Lots of my friends are Christians and one day a friend asks me to assist the prayer before Christmas.It was a very great moment of brotherhood with members of Christian comunity.

02/12/2006 | I had the opportunity to attend a ceremony in St. Patrick's Cathedral in new york and it was awesome. I am always open to visiting different belief systems, because I'm currently unsure of what mine is. Unfortunately my entire area is christian so there isnt much opportunity to explore.

02/10/2006 | I've been to quite a few different ceremonies,services and rituals over the years.I have a very diverse group of family and friends.It is enlightening to experience the myriad of different spiritual paths.I've been to Catholic,Episcopalian,Baptist,Methodist and Greek Orthadox Churches,to Friends Meetings (Quaker),Synogogues,Sufi seminars,A Mayan Shaman Fire Ceremony,a VooDoo circle,and quite a few Pagan rituals.They were all beautiful in their own unique way.

02/10/2006 | I no longer claim a particular religion, but I have attended Baptist and Catholic churches and have also attended Pagan events with people I am friends with. I have no issues with beliefs other than my own; I think it's a learning process to attend functions you've never participated in before (but that's just me). I understand why some people might have issues with attending religious events aside from their own, but that's just *them* as well.

02/09/2006 | I attended and researched ALL religions before concluding I believed in none of them. Still, I'll attend church or activities related to a religion if someone I love is involved. People get too caught up in MY faith practice should be everyones!

02/09/2006 | I attended a Passover dinner once when members of the church I was attending were invited as guests. It was really interesting and I enjoyed it. Kind of like a living history lesson.

02/09/2006 | Religion as a whole is not holding up well with me nowadays. Im trying to dedicate myself to the idea of reading the Bible (never have completely) I believe it has any answers I might be looking for.

02/09/2006 | A friend of the family had a Hindu wedding, made the hugest mistake of not eating before I left home and the ceremony was at least two-three hours long, but the wait was definitely worth it as the food was just excellent. My old flat-mate from Uni is getting married this Summer so thats another Hindu wedding, this time I'm eating before I leave lol. You gotta live, learn and enjoy otherwise whats the point of being here?

02/08/2006 | Got married in a Lutheran church, although I was brought up Catholic.
Also, while a student, I stood about and chanted 'Hare Krishna' for about 45 minutes in order to participate in a free feast afterwards. The Bhagavad Gita is gathering dust on the bookshelf today, but the cookbook is dog-eared and stained with turmeric and blood from various minor injuries incurred when chopping vegetables.
Since dropping out from organized religion altogether, I have attended Catholic services, so I guess I have come the full circle.

02/08/2006 | I've done it on numerous occasions and they're commonly interesting. One of the small/simple pleasures I can remember was going to midnight mass a couple times on Xmas morning(s) with the girl I dated when I was in New Orleans. Drinking the whole thing in, I remember getting a better understanding of the term "God fearing".

02/08/2006 | sure I would. I do not have a specific religion just protestant, so I would find it very interesting to go to a ceremony of another faith. My only concern is I would not really want to be strongly approached for joining. or shunned for coming to their house of worship.

02/08/2006 | I have attended other religious ceremonies, but never with the intention of worshipping, it usually involved being a guest at some event or a special occasion.
