Greetings and peace be with you,

If you had a job supporting people with a disability, would you be able to support them to go to a different place of worship other than your own?

I ask this question because the company I work for is seeking to employ support workers from different cultures, faiths, nationalities and ethnic groups.

The people we support come from all kinds of backgrounds and I have been asked to take people to different places of worship, how would you feel being asked to do this?

In the spirit of praying for greater interfaith friendship

Eric
 
Respect! It is all about respect. Respect what they believe. You don't have to believe what they believe, you just need to believe that they believe.

IMHO Assisting someone to pray to god has to be pleasing to god.

Yes, I agree with what everybody said so far. It is all about respect. Respect does not require agreement.
 
I see nothing wrong with it. Then again I have no faith to conflict with so my point may be moot lol.

There's a really nice Buddhist temple near my area I've been to a few times to medetiate and book up some books (their bookstore has a wide selection of eastern philosophy :D).

There's also some churches but thats a gray area cause alot of em are cramped and have little/no air conditioning.
 
You would just helping a fellow human being get to where they want to go. That has no relevance to where you would want to go or where you think they should be going. It is the choice, and the right to choose, which you respect every bit as much as the belief itself.
 
I would have to look into it further.

In Islam we are not allowed to help people do something wrong... I don't know whether this would fall under that category.

How could you look at helping some worship god as helping them do something wrong? :-\

There is compulsion in not going off on tangents though, dudes and dudettes.

Sorry. One of my little flaws. I'm workin' on it.
 
who is talking about killing??????
the thread has to do with helping a disabled person get to a place of worship of a religion other than your own. did you read the OP - and if so, how did you get killing?
 
One more off-topic post and a whole bunch of 'em will embark on a great and perilous journey to the land of the Recycling Bin.
