text: do you think,(asking strong christians)? do you think that it is right to be enformed about other religions, by reading up on them in order to know what you are praying for. like going to watch the da vinci code to know what you must stand against or reading up on satanism so you and others can stand firmly against it. "my people perish because of a lack of knowledge" i think a few of the more serious answers, that were obviously written by people who believe the bible, were very good. i just wanted to add that you can get a good book from a notable christian author titled the kingdom of the cults, by walter martin. it has a short synopsis on all major cults. this book actuallys lays them out side-by-side with christianity so that you can see the difference in what you believe, vs. what they believe. it keeps you prepared  to "give a reason for the faith you have", without you having to actually dive in and read the whole book of mormon etc.  shalom - maranatha . :)
