Yet we all live on the same property and haven't fought with each
other over it at all. So why can't Ireland stop fighting? Why can't
Isreal/Palestine?>>

Let's remember to change the subject :) These debates can be very sensitive for some.

Ok, now how can you relate your household to Isreal & Palestine or Ireland?

That's good. Mine too now. But I had to work to get one of them
there. She used to be the kind who goes 'along' until I made it very
clear that she could say nah, I don't wanna to me, my dh, her
grandparents, her friends, etc. Now she is doing what SHE wants to
do. But, I know others whose kids still just go along and mom thinks
she is doing a great job 'helping' them find their interests.

But religious debates are fun! Actually, I kind of agree with you. I
am not Christian, but I do believe there is a 'something' that set up
he system so it could work this way. I just can't define my
'something'.
And on that note, my dh is pantheistic after having been raised
Brethren. I am non-specific pagan after being raised Catholic (so
obviously my mom is Catholic). Wyndham is still finding himself.
Jenni is leaning toward independent witchcraft. And Rachel is
Militant Agnostic - she doesn't know and neither do you!

Because we have FIVE distinctly different religions represented here,
yet we all manage to live together.

So actually, it related to Ireland better, because that is a religion
thing more than the Palestine/Isreal thing which is beyond religion
and into land grabbing and politics.

No, it only looks like religion because they've come to hate each other so
much. The situation in Northern Ireland is about land and division of power
too.

In fact I can't think of any so called "religious wars" that are really
about religion and not about land and power. (History wasn't my strong suit
so I could be missing some!)

So unless you're dividing the land and power at your house along religious
lines I don't think there's anything to worry about. ;-)

One thing you might want to consider is that at least a couple of the
religions you mentioned for your household are "live and let live"
religions, that don't try to convert others or say that theirs is the only
way. I can't remember all the ones you mentioned, so I could be wrong, but
Paganism and Wicca for sure are "live and let live".
