I have an interesting question: Can people are tow totally faiths be in a loving relationship? I don't really have anything to add, I doubt I could date a "bible thumper". But I am curious to see if anyone does/has/knows someone to has a relationship were the two partners are of two totally incompatible religious views. By incomparable I suppose I mean either one or both of the religions threatening non-believers with eternal punishment.
I've been in a steady relationship now with a hardcore, right-wing Christian. Her views, as well as her entire family, are opposite of mine. I'm an agnostic who can be quite hostile toward religion and sometimes find myself favouring militant-atheism..lol. It can definitely be hard, but we have been trying to be more acceptant of one another and focus less on each other's beliefs, but more on other things about one another. Something very difficult considering we're very idealogical people.
Interesting. I could be in the a premeditate, so I was curious to see how common it was. Most of the people I know personally share beliefs.
The Bible warns followers of God not to be unequally yoked. This dates back to Jews who were warned not to mingle with idol worshipers. Essentially, the people we marry will have a daily impact on our lives and our spiritual state. So if those of faith value their relationship with a member of the opposite sex more than their relationship with their God, then more than likely they will marry that person. However, if the opposite is true then they will not go down that road and heed the warnings given to them.
absolutely. the key is 'do unto other(s) as you would have them do unto you' ie.. the personal responsibility outweighs the beliefs as long as their actions do not become selfish and impose to you in selfish intent. romeo and juliet love wins overall and love requires selfless commitment to 'other' this can be proven in parenting, naturally
