No, I'm a christian- the bible says to not be unequally yoked. I think that pretty much solves it for me
-
Yes. I'm atheist and my wife is Catholic.
-
Yes it would not make any difference to me. I am not a missionary sent to convert and people are entitled to whatever beliefs they want
-
Absolutely - I'm Christian and my husband is Pagan. We both have learned about each other's faiths and have interesting converstaions. We don't have fights about it and it isn't a touchy subject. I simply believe what I believe, and he believes what he believes. We respect each other's opinions, but feel no need to change them. We plan to teach our children ABOUT both of our faiths but allow them to choose what they believe in when they are old enough to do so.

Firstly, what constitutes an 'opposite' religion?! I didn't know religions had opposites. However, I would indeed marry someone of a different religion, depending what it was. I have difficulty accepting the beliefs and practices of a few, so that could cause difficulties if my partner wanted us both to incorporate it in our (and our children's) lives. So far I think I'd be happy to marry Jews, Hindus and Buddhists.
-
No I wouldn't I wouldn't even date someone with a different faith. I wouldn't even date someone who was at a lower maturity level in the faith than I am.
-
If you truely love someone what difference does religion make, itsnt religion love one another.
-
yes as long as the religion conversation doesnt come up.
-
If I was in love then yes I would.
-
Yes, definitely. I wouldn't be opposed to converting to their religion if I identified with the beliefs system and lifestyle that went along with it, but I would hope that my future partner would respect my OWN beliefs if I chose not to convert.

What exactly is opposite religions?
-
Nope, I don't ever plan on getting married, so I guess that is a non issue for me.
-
Yes, I would Jay and I were of "opposite Religions". He was a Protestant and I'm a Pagan. The religion had no bearing on our relationship so long as our morals and ethics matched which they did on most stuff. But you get that in any relationship. We did have a lot of conversations about religion, mostly mine because he was never exposed to it as a child and I was raised Christain.As for the boys we agreed that we would raise them as moralists with no set religion. And if they had questions we would both sit down and answer them as a couple.

As long as I loved them, they loved me, and they didn't care about my religion (or lack thereof.)

Religion is what you believe in, Love is what you're in. Religions can't separate a pair of loving lovers. I'm catholic and my girlfriend is buddhist, we could careless about our own religion and are willing to become the other's religion easily. I love her far too much to let something stupid as religion ( not saying Catholic is stupid, but the idea ) get in our way.
-
I'm not sure which religion is accualy 'oppisite' of mine? So you have a list, or a chart or something? I married someone of a religion different from my own. It doesn't bother us at all.

I really hope I don't offend anyone here. To me, religion is a form of psychotic delusion. Against all reason and evidence, the beliefs are held tightly. You can't reason with a psychotic about their delusions, and you can't reason with someone religoous about their religious beliefs, because it will always boil down to "I believe it on faith" or "it's incomprehensible" or some similar cop-out. There is no belief that I hold to, no belief I'm emotionally attached to at all, and through reason, I can be made to change my mind about anything I currently think makes sense. Before downrating me, if you're religious, can you honestly tell me that some amount of logical debate and evidence could convince you you're wrong? If not, my point is proven, and the similarity to mental illness has again been demonstrated. Sorry. Hence, I could NEVER marry someone with any mental disease, including religion. It bothers me that religion even exists. I could only marry a religious girl if I was willing to marry someone I had absolutely no respect for and only was interested for her looks and the sex, and the sick wrongness of it all.

I think you need to really look closely at your faiths whne marrying. How are the children going to be raised? Which Holidays are you going to celebrate? This stuff will cause problems if not decided at the start. My wife is a Baptist and I am a Catholic, but both being of the same Christian faith it isn't as big a riff as say a Muslim and a Christian. We both celebrate the same holidays and can easily attend services at any CHristian church if warranted, but that may not be as easy for two seperate religious doctrines. I would not marry anyone outside my religion due to these circumstances.
-
I don't know what the opposite religion of mine is, but I would. I would prefer to marry someone with my religion, but I wouldn't mind not doing that.
-
My boyfriend grew up and is still living in a Muslim-based home and I grew up and am still living in a Christian-based home. That hasn't stopped us from being together.
-
I did..... but it was bad! You see we divorced over religious differences. I am a Christian and he is THE DEVIL!!
-
Yes... Religion doesn't matter to me
-
Yes. Religion isnt that big to me. And people have their differnet beliefs. Im not just going to not love someone becasue they are a different religion than me or somehting.
-
Sure, why not? As long as no one forces me to convert or something against my will, I would not even consider religion to be a factor. It's more important to me that the person in question has the qualities I value, such as being honest. If I love someone, their religion isn't going to change how I feel about them, nor how I treat them. All beliefs should be respected.
