would you........

...give up your beliefs or religion for someone you love ? or would you hope they would join you in yours ?


This is a question for both religious and non religious alike.

If you would not then why not ?

are you considering to change your belief? wow... wow
@ Ian,,,no way I would change, my religion is deep rooted...I had to leave yesterday but seen the other comments you put on my blog this morning,,, thank you handshake
Hi Ian,
A very interesting question and I had a similar dilemna almost a decade ago with an ex-boyfriend. I am Christian and he is Hindu. It was one we had to discuss as he wasn't willing to change his religion and neither was I. It would have been a question of which faith would you raise any children we had to together in and how do you celebrate holidays etc.
We broke up soon after so the question/discussion was moot.

Have a great weekend.wave
Hail To The Naaw!...moping
Why should he/ she? We both knew from the beginning, what each other belief were. So! Why change it! Just to please someone. When personally. One is thinking different on the inside.

Ian. Interesting blog!
I would not and I won't expect him to give up his either. He and I just need to meet halfway and love @ respect each other as a person and a lover.

I married a Muslim but still went to church from time to time.

I put up Christmas Tree and celebrate Christmas and he usually bring us Christmas presents.

We celebrate Eid and enjoy with our family with lots of foods and gift-givings.

We are teaching our son to respect all religions and beliefs.

I don't see religions or beliefs as a problem in a relationship, it's how two people respect, accept and love each other.

Sure we did talked and argued about it from time to time but we have a red line and simply know when to stop.
Hi Ian
That is something we see a lot amongst our colored (not black) population. A Christian woman will marry a Muslim man (or the other way around) and she will almost always convert to his religion. When they get divorced after a few years, the woman turn back to her previous religion.

Amongst the white population, you will find the same thing (to a lesser degree) when Protestant and Catholic marry.

I think people should marry within their own religion.confused
cheers wave
...ok

so are you saying that neither can respect each others faith, and live together ?..love conquers all right ?
im with crazy on this one..as we start a divide if we don't respect each others belief..im atheist but I would be happy to be with someone from any faith, as long as she didn't pressure me and vice versa.
I know lots of people in 'mixed' marriages, they work things out. I don't think I could get serious about someone who felt really strongly about religion, so it wouldn't be an issue. However, if I loved someone who had a family with strong beliefs, I would certainly go along with the observances to keep family peace. I do respect people's rights to their beliefs. If they get a little wild-eyed about them, I back quietly away ...
wow.. great news. I am happy for you if she really make up her mind to be with you and leave her boyfriend for you as I know she is one man woman. congratulation Ian... thumbs up
Nope


Reason


Religion is a fairytale
`hey..smart..why do you always think my blogs are about Fruitloop..they are not..nor is this !!!!
ops... I thought you said "im with crazy on this one..as WE start a divide if WE don't respect each others belief....." dunno
hey,

you two..you stop it!scold why do you always argue about me?doh
Hi Ian, I personally don`t think you should ever give up your believes for another person or expect them to give up what they believe either.
Your believes are a part of who you are and what you represent, to give them up is giving up part of who you are.
People have to change their believe because it is something they desire to do for themselves not for someone else.

I have had people ask me about my believes and said they would change for me... BUT I said ABSOLUTELY NOT! That is not how it works.
I believe you have to be true to yourself...also I do think it could breed resentment at some later date.

Have a GREAT Friday everyone... grin hug hug
I already not into religious things

my brain was already messed when a kid
No...I stay clear of religious people to avoid getting into situations like that.
religion and politic, we can be easily drag into

a dog and cat fight
There is no religion when it comes to love, respect each other beliefs is one way to make ur relationship the best...
