But have any of you dated someone of a different religion than yourself? Or dated someone with the same religion but completely different views of God/Satan etc...

And before someone says, "do not be unequally yoked" I get that. The Bible also says that an unbelieving spouse would be made holy if their husband/wife was a believer...and their children as well.

Just curious to hear people's perspectives.

Nearly,a Muslim..I avoided him.

Ill answer by giving a slightly different answer. One of the reasons, though definitely not the only or major reason, I got divorced was the fact that she pushed for me to go to church. I wasnt a church goer when we met, and niether was she. But, she started to get this notion that we shld be in church every Sunday together.....and Im just not a church goer. Nothing against churches...I believe they do great things....I just dont believe me being in a certain place at a certain time determines my salvation. And, Im just not a big crowd person. Its my cross to bear....and one day maybe Ill change that aspect of my life. But it will be MY decision.
My point is....either she wasnt the person I thought she was, or she changed and I didnt. And, as i got older.....and have gotten older...Ive determined that I want someone with as many likes and dislikes as me as possible. For me, I just see it as cutting down on any drama before it happens.
Can people with big differences make a relationship work? Sure. I think you have to be sure abt how far youre willing to go to make them work....and be honest with yourself about that.
Anyways, hope that whole spiel made a lil sense lol

His religion has never been a big deal to me, except I will not date someone who does not believe in God, or is an atheist.

@Sweeter: I've been trying to get with this Muslim girl for awhile now. She has told me that if we were to be married she would like me to be a Muslim. But I know another Muslim girl who doesn't care if the guy she ends up with is a Christian I guess it has to do with their level of faith in their religion. However if you were to end up with this guy and contemplate children then you should absolutely converse with him on what religion the children should be raised.

@Sweeter: I have dated christians, muslims, jews, atheists, agnostics, buddhists. I don't care about the religion of my SO. My wife is a different religion than I. We talk about each others beliefs and I support and encourage her to practice her faith. The fact that we do not share opinions on everything matters not one bit to me. We are even on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Our hobbies are different. We grew up different in ways. We are from different parts of the country. We have different opinions on the optimal place to live, country or city. Our personalities are different.

Our differences are something I like about our relationship. We have so many differences that we never run out of things to talk about. We complete each other. My strengths are her weaknesses and hers are mine. So we make a great team. To me, having a clone as an SO would be dull as h3ll. What matters is that she loves me, and I would do anything for her.

Oh definitely. The conversation has been had that my children will grow up in a Christ-following home...and they can make their own choices when they become adults. But, thank all of you for your interesting answers.

I don't think religion really matters in an affair

I forgot that I posted this a while back. My husband is more my religion than not...but a bit more open than myself

There's some major stalking going on here lol, geez.
