Relationships And Religion?

[MysticalBurrito]

I was thinking earlier.
Would anyone here who is really strict on your religious views date someone of a different religion?

I wouldn't and won't honestly because if I grew into a emotional bond with the person and I knew it wouldn't work about because the difference in views.

[Bougainvillea]

I'd do my best to work around it.
I'm not religious, anyway.
One of the reasons I love Cathy. :)

[kenoloor]

I don't really belong to any religion, therefore I don't really care what other people believe. In my opinion it's all in the personality.

[Bougainvillea]

Yeah, but then again, you don't want someone judging you, or trying to pressure you.

Personality is key, i don't really care about religion unless... Below

If they started to do that and it bothered me i would ask them to stop and if they didn't i would break it off.

[Bougainvillea]

Exactly.
I wouldn't tolerate it.

[AllThatIsLeft]

I believe in what I believe in, and that doesn't go by any standards if the other person doesn't approve then they are probably not for me..
i want someone to like me for me, and not want me to change for them.

[Jagador]

MMM... i try to work around my lover's religion, no matter how strict or how much she believes in it, i would try to turn the tide

[RaeNose]

You'd try to turn the tide?
That's ridiculous. You shouldn't be influencing what she believes in. If she believes that, then she probably has a pretty strong faith in it.
I wouldn't try to change someone I was dating if they were of a different belief system as me.
If they're not a Christian... doesn't matter. I'd love them anyway.
But they at the very least have to have very strong moral values.
I'm not about to go out with a sleezy man-whore.

Sheesh.. came out at me so angry already... O_O doesn't make me comfortable at all, but what ev, anyway, to be honest, if she didn't want to change, then i'd leave it. Then again i don't date girls so doesn't make any difference... not gunna argue here.. not the right place to do so.. gunna go to other areas of the forums now...

sorry.
I'm wired right now (no more Mt. Dew for me, lol). I get antsy very easily.My bad.
I apologize.
It's your opinion, but I just really dislike when a guy tries to influence a girl's decision. It's her life, you know? If that's what she believes and it gives her hope and fulfillment, you shouldn't mess with that.

[kyle95]

love is stronger than any indoctrination. I'd ditch the book and go for the girl

[Mzor203]

I won't date anyone who is religious who goes to church for religious reasons. I know this sounds harsh, but bear with me:

Religion itself isn't madness until you are taking the meaning of *your* religion from someone else. To me, submitting to the beliefs of someone else instead letting yourself form your own vision and view of the world is nonsensical and weak. That's not the kind of person I like. I can't just sit around having someone I supposedly *love* be injected with beliefs that aren't originally theirs.

That's all I have to say.

[Darkness]

I'd date them so long as they kept me out of it, politics is more important I mean a active communist going out with a royalist activist, well that would cause some problems!

I also hate the vice-versa of that.

[The Batman]

I couldn't date an atheist even if I somehow turned that way. It'll just be to hard.

Basically my views^

The only person I wouldn't date is a evengelical anything. They annoy the shit outta be(not trying to be offensive).

????
Explain that please?

[Blue63]

This is really interesting because it's kind of what I'm going through. I'm Catholic, go to a catholic, all boys high school, and consider myself a religious person, yet an open person. The girl I like, and hope to form a strong relationship with, is an atheist. We've kinda talked about religion, I'm not sure she's thought her atheism completely through, but she's not obnoxious about it or anything. I mean we're 15, If we were getting married, it'd be a different issue. I guess I'm just in the frame of mind that we'd cross that bridge if it came to it.

[OhHeyItsTy]

It's never been much of a problem in my relationships when there's been differences of religion. It's an easy thing to look passed.

[Aves]

I don't care, unless there satanists. But I still would try to stick to Christians.
