Religion is in a person's head, it should always stay there and not down others throats.

I was born and raised in a Catholic household and attended a Catholic School during my grade school years.
When I became old enough to make some of my own decisions I chose to go to a public school.
I respect someones choice of religion but I've liked it being shoved down my throat.
I've seen religious people do negative stuff too.

Fear is what stops people comnecting when it comes to differing relgions.
Fear of the unknown.
If u can dispel fear in a potential relationship then i dont see why two people of differing religions cant have a relationship

Well in many cases ,and in many parts of the world ,its very important ...in my personal opinion , it takes a lot of efforts ,tolerants and compromises in order to maintain such a relationship for a longerish amount of time

I don't have problem with religions, what I found out is having problems with the culture the religion originates from... It can be too much to put up with...

I will never compromise with a written fairy tale/ horror story.
Actually my contribution does not belong here, as I am an atheist myself. But as an atheist I can say, I have no problem with religion, religion has a problem with me.
Depends on how you interpret religiously, I could never live together with a fanatical believer. Since I have very different values, which are incompatible with the traditional religions. Fortunately, most so-called religious people have started to think differently about the written books. I have absolutely no problems with religion itself, but with the "wrong" interpretation, or rather, the so-called good interpretation of the texts.
Could you date a person who belongs to another religion? /Yes i can, the question is, could she?
Do you think that similar religious beliefs are important for a relationship or completely irrelevant? For my opinion, irrevelant. /But like i said, its just my opinion.

Won't date a religious person as it is just an added complication that can put stress on a relationship. Agnostic is as far as I am willing to go. Even spiritual but not religious is a bit too religious for me.

KremaP: Well Yubba,
you are wrong...sorry to disappoint you I am not that backward...
Just because you have encountered some nasty religious people it doesn't make them all evil... These monsters aren't monsters because they are religious but because they have sick minds.
I am a Christian Orthodox, not practicing but I am Christian not atheist...

If they have a private, personal religion, and they were not fundamentalist, intolerant or bigoted, then yeah, I would have no problem with them.
It goes without saying, they would have to have no problem dating a non-religious person as well, and accept my beliefs, or lack of them as well.

the Bible teaches that repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation and eternal life. According to Acts 4:12, salvation can only come through the name of Jesus Christ, and this is strongly established in John 3:36, where Jesus Himself said, “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.” Therefore, if we believe in the Bible, then we must conclude that there is no other way of salvation than repentance and forgiveness through the blood of Jesus.

My father used to say "Love God and love your neighbour (all mankind) and you won't go far wrong in life"
Pulpit thumpers give me the creeps!

I was not offended or surprised as I wrote, if you knew me personally you would know I have been moulded by others and it is why I really do not care about anything.
Many years ago, maybe about 18 I used to come home and be angry because of my employees stupidity at their work, one night my then girlfriend said "Don't let these people upset you because they will do as they wish whether you like it or not".
Here is the same because absolute idiots send messages and it's all a con to get in to conversation and find out about the other person, it makes them happy and the other person just ends up with wasted time, they also will do it whether we like it or not.
Here I will not get in to conversation again with anyone and my page will be deleted very soon which will make me happy.
