Quite frankly, we don't have much to do with other religions on an official basis. We don't interfere with their work. We don't join them in their political connections and ventures. We don't join them in community projects; nor do we join them in civil causes, protests or disruptions. We let-them-be.
Our main experience with other religions is on a personal level.
We visit their members at their homes. We also visit the clergy where they live. We can see first hand what their flock is like, away from church. Our children go to school with their children, and so they have their own experience with other religions. Therefore we can certainly speak from our experience with other religions from that angle.
We have a good experience with some of their flock, who are kind to us as strangers standing there at their door as a family with our child by our side. They allow us to read a scripture or two with them. They converse with us. Some ask questions. Many have commended us for our work. (Some even express dismay that their own religions doesn't have a program like ours.)
Regarding many other of their members whom we meet at the doors; our experience with other religions is that their flock really does not know much about The Bible. You can ask their members a simple Bible question, and they draw a complete blank. They shy away from talking about God; about Christ; about God's promises. They seem limited to a few common mainstream expressions like: Jesus saves' Praise the lord, Hallelujah, etc
Many others are simply very rude; and act in an undignified manner; even when one of our little children wants to read a little Bible verse to them. Instead of giving us a cup of cold water on a hot day; they send their children to the door, to tell us the parents aren't home. (Our children notice the lie and ask why - doesn't their religion teach them what God says about lying?)
More than occasionally we get sworn at; even with our children by our side. More than once have we reminded such brazen people that we don't appreciate them speaking this way in front of our children; and instead of apologizing, they start fuming worse than before; yet they tell us they have their own religion.
Quite frankly this is part of our experience with other religions.
One older fellow asked me for 2 of our little tracts. He blatantly said: "One to wipe me feet on; and one to wipe my *** with." Yet he first had smugly told us that he goes to church.
As for 'the clergy' when we meet them; while they bite their tongue regarding swearing; in many ways they treat their fellow humans at their door, much worse than their flock does. That is our experience with other religions.
As you can imagine, our experience is that we see about as much hypocrisy as anyone else might see; maybe more; but from a different perspective of course.
