If your girlfriend or boyfriend insults your religion, will you leave him?


I’m agnostic so there’s not much for anyone to insult. My boyfriend is Muslim. We often get into debates about religion. His answer for everything is faith. Even though I don’t agree with his beliefs I try to keep everything respectful. Even though I don’t believe what he believes I know that his life revolves around his religion. His whole identity is centered around his religion. He doesn’t eat certain foods, he dresses a certain way, and he behaves a certain way because of his religion. Before he met me, his parents were trying to arrange a marriage for him. If I insult his religion then that means I insult his entire way of life. If your partner is willing to disrespect your religion, then they’re willing to disrespect your entire identity and way of life, and they should be dumped immediately.
When you love someone, respect the person and his religion and I expect the same thing. If there is no respect there is no relationship for me.
I would only date and marry someone of my own religion. I want to be with someone who I can share that with, not argue over it.
Yes, I would.

In my religion, we do not have boyfriends and girlfriends, only husbands and wives, fiances, and public and chaperoned courtships. Spouses or those being courted may be from other religions but they may not be pagan nor polytheistic. Because of these rules, I would never marry or be engaged to someone who's religion is incompatible with mine as mine is a unitarian-type religion. We would not be insulting each other's religions but merging them together. So for example, catholicism is incompatible with my religion because it is pagan (prayer to saints, clergy faking celibacy, etc.) and borderline polytheist (trinity, prayer to saints, mother mary divinity, etc) so I could not marry a Catholic. I can court one to convince her to leave that church and accept the true religion but if she wants to reject me because I insult satanic practices she does not want to give up, that is for the best because I cannot marry her unless she disavows those practices.
If she insults my religion, she is not compatible until she repents and accepts the true religion so I would not marry her until she does that.
If the Significant Other insults your religion, what will they insult next? I'd either get it talked out pretty fast or I'd get out of the relationship pretty fast. Insulting one's religion is very close to insulting the person, and that's not what makes relationships strong.
True.
Well, thats also an opportunity for you to educate him about your culture.
No need to leave it that quickly, there's more things you guys need to face as a couple, so go for the educative approach ir you will divorse 6 times for different reasons.
Avoid radical solutions.
Well I have no religion. I understand others think their religion is important and I would ignore it but people keep trying to make laws and rules that I have to do what their religion dictates. Hell to the NO. Your religion sa utf s you can't do X, Y or Z. It doesn't give your religion to try to control my behavior
If my S/O made an uneducated comment about my religion because he didn’t know any better, I would educate him so that he could better understand the topic at hand. If he was already educated about it and still made a rude comment, I wouldn’t leave him but I would certainly let him know I was insulted.
shouldn't leave him immediately over something so small, first try to educate them about your religion and then if that doesn't work then avoid the topic as best you can, if its a common argument then that may be a reason to leave them
First of all, I wouldn't be with guy who had different beliefs than I have.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Yep. No relationship works well if its members have drastically different worldviews. If nothing else, it'd tell me it's not going to work in the long run. And if it doesn't work in the long run, I don't believe it's worth pursuing in the short-run.
No because I think neither people who in god or believe absolutely there is not a God don’t have proof of there beliefs we’re is god where the evidence that God exist or God does not exist neither side currently has evidence
I have no religion and if i did i would want her to speak her mind and say what she thought, not hide shit from me she didn't like and end up not being happy with me
They can't, oh right they could call everyone that does believe as they do something insulting. Yeah that would be a turn off and a sign off low intelligence.
I'm not religious so if my girlfriend would start insulting that I would definitely leave her because that would indicate that her grasp of reality and logic is limited.
No its not MY religion. Its just A religion
Its like insulting my favourite actor. Meh lol no biggie
Insults the faith itself, yes. Insults some of the practices or practitioners, probably not. There are often a lot of extra-biblical things added on by local churches and there are a lot, lot, lot of charlatan preachers.
That's one of the reasons why I don't believe in being in a relationship with a non believer we shall not be unequally yolked.
No one should be judged for there religion race gay trans. It doesn't matter u could be what u want no one has the right to judge. I'm not religious at all but I respect others religion
Well I'm not religious but if they insulted me based on that we'd have to have a talk for sure and it's a possibility it would end.
Absolutely.
It's gonna be toxic drain energy because of that person's narrow minded fixation.
"Religion is good for those that needs something to fallow"
Nope, diesn't care about religion only care about GOD
No because I don't have a religion and if she insults my lack of religion I will just find her to be a very cute brainwashed person.
Well if he does it once, I would get mad and probably stay with him. If it’s a continuous thing then I would leave him. Like if he constantly made little comments about how it’s weird to wait until marriage for sex.
Religion is a personal thing it's one right we still have. And your choices should never be demeaned by your significant other... find a guy who respects u
I'm atheist so I don't have that problem. What do you mean by insult though? Because some people treat skepticism as an insult, especially when it comes to dogmas (whether they are religious or not).
If she did, she'd show that our beliefs and values are different and irreconcilable, and that would be the dealbreaker.
Not super religious but if you are, that's nothing they should insult you about unless if it's a joke and you are okay with the joke.
I am not religious. If he disrespects my ex religion islam, i dont care. There is a reason why i left it.
I probably wouldn't have gotten into a relationship with him if I knew what his stance was.
Well I'm atheist and I only date other atheists, so that never happens to me.
Yes I will
That’s a sign he or she doesn’t respect you
Yeah you should leave
Because your bf/gf is the only one person whom you expect to be different with you as compared to other people
i would want to know why they feel the need to do that for
Who cares lol why are religions so important? I'm an atheist, so idc
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I won't cause I am not religious. It doesn't mean a penny In my life.
Ofc that’s why I get with someone that follows my religion
I Wouldn't be with a religious nut job in the first place.

I'm not very religious, so that would be unlikely.
That's not respect so yes.
