  • I would not want to be with someone if I had to convert to their families religion. That is just ridiculous and childish if you really think about it for a bit...

    We aren't allowed to force our religion onto others. If they willing wanted to learn about the religion and possibly convert, that would be another story. If I were with someone, it wouldn't be my place to want them to convert. If such a hang-up existed in the first place, it would make no sense for me to date them in the first place. If they pushed me into converting to their religion, I wouldn't be okay with that. To save both parties from pain down the road on this issue, it would probably be for the best to actually address this issue before the relationship really starts to get serious.

    There wasn't an option to just marry someone with the same religious beliefs as me. I ask God to send a god-fearing and loving man, and He'll do it! So, there should be an Other there.

    I wouldn't care as long as they didn't make fun of me or bite the heads off chickens or some weird shit.

    I don't care about peoples religion/irreligion. More the behaviors of that person. If your religion says to eat dead baby and hail Satan well yeah I am going to be a little concerned. If it says you watch a play of baby Jesus every Christmas why not?

      What if you say hail Satan with no baby eating? Clearly you have no idea what satanism is all about.

        If you hail Satan and you don't do anything sinister like eating babies or anything yeah I would be your friend.

        However I have known people who have said they believed in pedophilia since raping children made Satan happy. I do not approve of that kind of stuff and if your following something that extreme no I probably wont want to be your friend.

        I have also met people who said they were Satanists and didn't believe in any of that and I happy being that persons friend. I don't believe in judging people over something like which god they worship. Its what they do which matters.

          Baby rapist aren't real Satanist. Satanist don't try to make Satan happy because they don't believe he exists! Don't believe what people tell you. Find out for yourself.

            If they worship Satan or not really does not matter to me. However I do not approve of certain acts and I will not befriend people if they are into such things. I never said all Satanist do this or this is what Satanism about. However these people seemed to believe that was what it was about.

      If You Think About It, Everything That Is In Motion Was Placed In Motion. Nothing Has The Ability To Make Itself Appear Using Its Own Power. In Other Words, You Did Not Have The Power To Make Yourself Appear In This Universe Anymore Than The Univere Had The Power To Bring Itself Into Being. Therefore There Must Be A Mover Who Moves First. Something Must First Exist Before Something Else Can Come Into Existence. For Example, The Tree Must First Exist Before You Can Have A Pencil. However, This Cannot Go On Into Infinity Because As I Mentioned Above There Must Be A Mover Who Moves First. And This First Mover We Call God. Saint Thomas Aquinas Will Explain This To You In Great Detail. Jesus Loves You Very Much. Peace Be With You.

    Never get married, have kids, or even so much as try to have an on-going menogomus relationship with someone whom is a non-believer.

    Believe in what, though? People who don't believe in one thing can still believe in something else. They're not non-believers, just other-believers.

    Why would you be with someone if they had to convert? That makes no sense. I would only marry someone who was already the same religion.

    I'd prefer someone who is a believer but I guess it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

    It's not important because I don't identify with a specific religion. I however would convert to my spouses religion if it were important to them.
