Would you date someone who doesn't share your religious beliefs?

Definitely. I used to be a Jehovah Witness and the thought of "You're not supposed to be with anyone who isn't a Jehovah Witness, and you need JW friends" made sense but was stupid to me. I'd have been excluding hella people I liked being around over a religious belief. And imagine finding a person you really like but you find out they don't share your religion. You just gonna "lmao gtfoh"?

No, because that's against by religious belief.

Yes. I'm agnostic.

depends.

Yeah as long as she got a nice booty

Sounds like a shit storm waiting to happen

Yes

I mean, why not?

It's close-minded to say no.

For a long term relationship, differences in values like that will probably inevitably be a problem. But I imagine it would depend on how strongly each person holds their beliefs. For short term dating, it probably doesn’t matter at all.

@batmanplusjay: why did you leave?

It's okay to do it, but you should do it with the awareness that it could make for a rocky relationship. Ultimately, ideals like 'couples with any different set of beliefs will get along' are just that, ideals. And many relationships don't measure up to ideals.

@firestarlord73194: Grew out of it I guess. Never felt like going or doing any of the thing JW did. Questioned it.

It's a great question. I might but it doesn't seem like a good idea.

I want someone to help me grow in my faith since my faith means everything to me, and I need to have my children baptized and raised as Catholics so our conflicting views could cause trouble in that regard.

I'm not interested in dating that isn't ordered toward marriage so if the relationship wouldn't allow this, I wouldn't want to waste our time.

yup

I'm not religious, but I have a preference, I won't date any woman who is Muslim (maximal priority degree, 'no Muslims'), Buddhist, Orthodox Christian, Orthodox Jewish, Mormon and depending on how religious is the person, only then, I welcome the rest with open arms.

I'm a very selective person, even for beliefs.

No. My faith means everything to me, I want to marry somebody who has shares that same ideology and help me to glorify God in our marriage.

Before I turned to faith, I dated others who didn’t share my religious beliefs or those who weren’t religious at all, and every time it turned into some kind of turmoil (lustful relationships, emotional ties, etc) that resulted in the relationship falling.

I think you're the close minded one here, tbh.

This 100%

As long as she isn't a promiscuous whore.

That's also a good point.

I have no religious beliefs.

As long as it’s not impeding overall lifestyle.

@lan_fan: Using what I said against me. I mean, that's the best you could come up with?

You tried I guess. A+ for the effort.

I dislike it when someone says, "my faith means everything to me." It's insulting, especially if you're in a relationship with someone who you love. I've heard it from my father so many times, that it became obvious whenever he wasn't around.

@lan_fan: I honestly don’t think you’d stick to that rule, if the situation actually came up. Sorry.

Yes, as long as they respect my belief.

Yeah, I replied because your post is very ironic. That's it, really.

Tbh, I've dealt with this situation multiple times. I'm not a child!

@lan_fan: So you think every instance is going to play out the exact same way?

@mylittlefascist: Should be.

@lan_fan: Why?

@mylittlefascist: As long as the decision is on my hand, I'm not gonna marry anyone who's not a fellow Christian.

@lan_fan: And I simply don’t believe you’d stick to that if all other circumstances actually lined up.

I'm a Nihilist the chances of me finding a woman that shares that same belief is incredibly slim

Sure

@iron_tiger:

Was it like the religion was more important than family for your dad?

@batmanplusjay:

Do you retain any kind of belief?

Yes of course, it's a no-brainer to me :-)

Currently am.

@spareheadone: Nah now I'm just on the fence. Not an atheist, but dont exactly have a religion either.

For short term dating, sure. When it comes to long term dating however (marriage becomes a possibility), it depends. As an atheist who has accepted the fact that there is no God, I would still be okay with dating someone who believes in fairytales on one condition: They don't try to force it on any children we may have in the future. If we do have children, they must adhere to facts and science. I wouldn't be happy with my children believing in fairytales. Considering that the majority of theists would try to convince young impressionable children to believe in fairytales, it's unlikely I would be in a long term relationship with any theist.

@batmanplusjay:

A hot double bubble JW could trouble you.

A witness mistress could turn your fitness

You'll follow her pants in a trance with your lance and you'll dance in the manse.

Because of your balls you will fall At her call and land in hall

Of the kingdom of your begindom .... yeahhhh.... that's right boy.....

Marrying a Christian next year. I'm atheist.

Nope! She better worship her one & only true God.....ME!

But seriously I would, I don't care what someones religion is.
