Would you convert religions for the one you love?

[Anonymous]

I know in many religions, one or the other has to convert in order to marry. Would you?

[SnowDrop16]

Well it depends how you raised I guess. I come from a pretty religious family and currently dating someone from different religion. My family already warned me that they won't give me their blessings if I convert to his religion or marry him without him converting to mine.

In my opinion, I don't want anyone to change anything to be with me unless they really want to, so same goes with me. I don't wanna convert on something I don't believe and I'm not gonna make my partner to convert too. So we just gonna roll with it :)

[Detemer]

I wouldn't.
Love and religion should not be mixed.
It would be great if I could be with the love of my life who belongs to a different religion while being free to choose what religion I want to practice.

[Vmm90]

I'm not a religious person and that's my choice. I don't see why people need to convert. I obviously am not against people doing it, it's their choice of course.

Marriage has become a bastardized practice at this point you shouldn't need a ceremony to be able to love someone it's just a way for your religion to get money out of you and if you don't do it they publicly humiliate you because your a dinner or some such nonsense

Peaceful worship is fine but organized religion is nothing more than a way for people in power to manipulate those who are loyal to do what they want

First, religion generally gets passed to you through parents and hence, parents' teachings and upbringing. Now if that is not the case, you take up. a religion only if your heart agrees with it's teachings. You take religion to please God, not a potential spouse. Indeed, some religions do have rules about who you can marry. Still, religion should be taken up if you "feel" it.

[HaveNoName]

Thank you ma'am !! Stay well.

[Aizou]

I would not. True love would not require such a sacrifice.

[Fuselesss]

i wouldn't ask anyone to convert for me nor accept anyone to expect me to convert. i do not practice religion anyways but i find it unethical to ask someone to do that.

[Juxtapose]

"I'm suddenly going to change how I view reality itself just because this person I'm fu**ing doesn't agree with me!"

What nonsense. I'm an atheist by the way and would never change my mind without proper evidence.

[TripleAce]

the question can always be reversed that's the issue...
would your loved one allow you to just be who you are and still marry you?

[RuthAnn1781]

Fuck no. Besides, if that person loved me back they wouldn't want to change me like that

[Demiurge6]

No. Relationship has nothing to do with religion neither marriage. Can you love and be together without some ceremony and some cheap paper?

[Now22]

No. I would respect their religion but I wouldn't convert. Why convert to something you don't believe in and disrespect it.

[Asker]

So essentially you could never get married... what if marriage was inportant to them?

[Now22]

How could I never get married?

[Asker]

To them you couldn't. Judaism, Muslim etc have very strict rules on marrying someone of the same religion. Catholics require you to do some religious study but not actually convert.

[Now22]

Ohh. There's not much I can do about their opinion on it.

[Curtisisyodaddy]

What do you mean you don’t respect it you spoilt brat?

[fauchelevent]

Nope, I wouldn't do that unless they genuinely convinced me they were right.

[Alistayr]

I don't know how you could, it would be rather shallow.

[gGreat]

Nope. I wouldn't expect her to convert either. If she asked me to convert, I would break up with her.

[es20490446e]

Never. My ethic is to see things as they are, not as it would feel other people better.

[OctoPops]

I would rather ask and persuade her to stay away from all religions like me.

[X9MikeHoncho]

No, why change to something I don't believe? I would try to check it out though

[Crankor]

So be forced to do something that would start a lie... nope

[Bobthesecond]

I wouldn't denounce my god, i already had to go through that whole process once so im not going through it again

[mr_mike1]

You already denounced your god once?

[Bobthesecond]

Yea man

[rashu_malik]

Nope it's not a true love if there's has to be a deal

[crazyleolove]

Why do I or her convert religion if we love each other.

[Anonymous]

No a being religious in the first place is a complete deal breaker for me

[Belovedson]

So if I'm agnostic... Should i convert MY brain to be with my Love... i don't think so

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

No. Accept me as I am or move along.
