Would you marry a non-Christian like a muslim, jew, Mormon, jehovah's witness, buddist, hindu, scientologist, atheist?

[Drewtate]

... Wicca, pagan or other

No

Yes

Yes if they converted to the one true faith

[CalmUntilAbused]

I'd be fine with a Muslim woman (though Her family would probably not be fine with me, even though Quran supposedly allows Muslims of both sexes to marry Christians and Jews). In this particular case, I wouldn't even be this particular about Her potential conversion to Christianity. Otherwise, I'd be fine with any religious woman, though I would push for Her conversion to Christianity if She was not a Christian already.

As for atheists... If I were desperate enough to settle for an atheist, I would definitely demand a conversion to Christianity, but I would generally avoid atheists. While I understand that they are not uniformly evil, my prime example of what an atheist woman can be like is the infamous Amber that so many people have Heard about, and I'm having none of this kind of hell. Though if the atheist woman in question was actively pursuing faith and would naturally agree to a conversion to Christianity, I would consider it.

[bingbongbangbung]

That's actually false; only Muslim men can marry Christian and Jewish women. For Muslim women to marry kafirs, they have to convert to Islam.

[jshm2]

That's not how relationships work, kiddo.

You may like a Black, Jewish wiccan chick. That doesn't mean she likes you.

Faith, (or lack of, if you're retarded or of low self esteem ) in a person is an important trait. But it's not the whole personality or genetics.

[Drewtate]

Yeah but having similar moral, religious and cultural views helps. I might like a black Jewish Wiccan chick but doesn't mean I would marry her.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't care :D

Other qualities are important to me. As long as he meets them and likes me I don't care what he believes in.

I'm fine as long as I don't have to follow my partner's beliefs.

[strateguy632]

sounds reasonable but... what kind of education for kids? the question was about marry. school? home atmosphere?

[IslaTheWitch]

@strateguy632 look at my age... what kids? :D

But even if, we can talk everything out before any kids appear on this world. That's why other qualities are important for me

[Angxl3120]

Yeah, they're humans too and not everyone is Christian in the world

[SotiCoto]

I'd only marry someone who shares my desire to see all religions eradicated from the world. Someone who understands that most of what is wrong with humanity is caused by idiots who believe in magical sky-daddies, and that such degenerates have no business existing. Someone who understands that it is best if all Christians, Muslims, religious Jews, etc were all evicted from planet Earth in the general direction of the sun.
In fact it would probably be best to kill off anyone who still clings to christian morality even in the absence of the more severe superstitions.

[strateguy632]

wow very "tolerant" of you. sarcssm.

[Drewtate]

@strateguy632 Hitler had the same view

[CalmUntilAbused]

@strateguy632, You're talking like an atheist world would even be worth living in... As death is not a wall, but a gate, I would welcome some atheist's help to take this gate to flee the quite literal, biblical hell that would materialize in our world if it was to become fully atheist. At this point it's only partially atheist, with believers being generally allowed to live, and it's already hardly a habitable place.

[SotiCoto]

Hitler was a Catholic. But I've certainly got no problem with members of different religions killing each other.

And there is no hell worse than the world we already live in. It would at least be partially better if superstitious idiots were wiped out.

[Drewtate]

Hitler banned the Catholic Church and set up his own Christian religion.
No hell worse than the world we already live in, a very Mormon belief because you guys believe that you will one day assend into the stars becoming Gods ruling over your own planets with multiple wives filling the planet with perfect spirit children through an eternity of celestial sex.

[OddBeMe]

Of course not! I would never defile Jesus’s virginal followers, as pure as they are, devoted to their lifestyle of Christian ladies and I come from behind, whisper in her ear and show her how to live deliciously.

And when I sodomize her over and over, even as far from Jesus she gets, she longs for more. Begs me to continue. As knowledgeable of the strings of her genitalia I play them like a harp.

[Drewtate]

Dude stay away from the local elementary school

[OddBeMe]

Oh see I’m not christian so pedophila isn’t common amongst atheists. Go priests!

[Drewtate]

Richard Dawkins

[OddBeMe]

And? Neither a pedo or a ex convict, which is pervasive in Christianity.

[Drewtate]

Atheist & LGBTQ rights campaigner David Thorstad actually founded NAMBLA which is an atheist organisation dedicated to raping teenage and young boys.
It's not surprising that members of the lgbtq infiltrated the Catholic Church. Predators go where the prey is.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope, not cause of the simple fact that they don't believe but the children for example would be a hard situation if I believe and they don't for example, then that child will grow confused on what to believe or who to believe.

[Grond21]

I am dating a Hindu. I would marry some of them, but not others. Definitely none that are part of a cult

[strateguy632]

i wonder which caste you would be in? not based on your parents. what caste would your kids be?

[Grond21]

If the father is not Hindu then they would be in the mother's caste

[HaveNoName]

For sake of the children, it is BEST to stick within your own religion, whatever it may be, (and within the same culture, if possible).

[Anonymous]

I prefer someone who doesn’t believe in magical fairytales

[Avicenna]

No Scientologist, no Morman, no Jehovah's Witness.

[Joshydavid25]

I would probably date a Jew, maybe a Mormon since they are supposed to be close enough to Christians, but everyone else.. Oof.. Not so much.. Even though I don't really call myself a Christian..

[Alwayreckles93]

Never sorry. Only christian men can make a good husband.

[Dargil]

Religions that don't want to murder nonbelievers, maybe. Mohammedans, no. I want to keep my head and my wife to keep hers.

[DryGermanGuy]

Scientology is not a religion, it's a dangerous money-robbing cult.

[strateguy632]

after they converted to mine, their past wouldn't bother me. just same direction.

[Guitarweirdo]

I wouldn't marry a christian or other cultist. I'd be okay with pagans, wiccans, atheists, non-theists.

[FunkyMonkee]

Atheist, sure! Hindi, maybe, the rest are just as bad, if not worse, than a christian!

[DarkLegacy]

I prefer to marry one of the last two but would consider marrying a Hindu. None of the rest

[shortster]

Mormons are Christian. And I thought Jehovah's Witnesses were too?

[Drewtate]

Mormons claim to be christian and will tell you that at your door but the bible especially the new testament isn't their main focus, instead they focus on the book of Mormon and two other books that their prophet Joseph Smith found in America on tablets from an ancient Jewish civilisation in the Americas that built the pyramids there until the dark skinned natives wiped them all out and the last of them buried tablets to by found by Joseph Smith thousands of years later, which only he could decifer by looking at them through his hat. They also believe there was a great war in the heavens over earth and that lucifer corrupted earth and that Jesus cast him and his allies to earth to be reincarnated as humans bearing the mark of pain (black & dark skinned people) and to save humanity blonde hair blue eyed angels were sent to reproduce on the earth. Mormons believe that when they die they will be reincarnated as Gods given their very own planet to populate through eons of celestial sex with their wives. Sound like Christianity.

[shortster]

What nonsense is that? The Book of Mormon is the testament of God's works in the new world. It was translated utilizing spectacles that were made for translating. The Pearl of Great Price was Brigham Young's attempt at getting the church to forget the fact that Joseph Smith specifically spoke out against the practice of polygamy. Making polygamy a heretical practice in the church and codified in the Doctrine and Covenants which was the book that Smith wrote to keep a record of God's dealings with the church. We don't believe you become a God with your own planet in the afterlife. We believe that the only way to heaven and eternal life is through the acceptance of Christ's sacrifice on our behalf on the cross.

[Drewtate]

Sorry that's all well and good but Islam is more christian than mormonism. Mormonism is actually heresy and blasphemous
https://youtu.be/n3BqLZ8UoZk?si=buvTFXIYiqabCl6s

[shortster]

Oh, somebody made a film about their distorted view of Mormonism and that somehow supercedes what they actually believe?

[Drewtate]

The Mormon Church made it in the 70s.

[shortster]

Actually it is an excerpt from the Jeremiah Films' film "The Secret World of Mormonism" according to the description.

[Drewtate]

Nope. It was made by the Mormon Church in the 70s but buried because it showed mormonism in a crazy light.

"According to Mormon scripture, the Earth's creation was not ex nihilo, but organized from existing matter. The Earth is just one of many inhabited worlds, and there are many governing heavenly bodies, including the planet or star Kolob, which is said to be nearest the throne of God."

You should actually look up the Mormon faith.

[shortster]

Where is that in the scriptures? I grew up in the Mormon faith

[Drewtate]

You grew up in the Mormon faith but didn't read the book? The Mormon faith doesn't hide this but doesn't mention it when indoctrination new members usually vulnerable women like your mother maybe?

[shortster]

I have read it. I don't remember seeing what you claim in there. My mom's family has been a part of the church for a few generations. My father was the convert.

[Drewtate]

Read it again. This is well known and the LDS church freely admits it.

[shortster]

If you can't point to where it is then it doesn't exist.

[Drewtate]

"For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them" (Moses 1:35).

"And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten" (Moses 1:33).

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. . . . If the veil were rent today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by his power, was to make himself visible. . . you would see him like a man in form. . ." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith)

"How many Gods there are, I do not know. But there never was a time when there were not Gods and worlds, and when men were not passing through the same ordeals that we are now passing through. That course has been from all eternity, and it is and will be to all eternity" (Brigham Young, Discourses of Brigham Young).

[Drewtate]

Book of Mormon, Alma, chapter 3, verse 6

After the people again forgot the Lord and dissensions arose, some of them took upon themselves the name Lamanites and the dark skin returned. When the Lamanites fully repent and sincerely receive the gospel, the Lord has promised to remove the dark skin. The Lord declared by revelation that, ‘before the great day of the Lord shall come, Jacob shall flourish in the wilderness, and the Lamanites shall blossom as a rose.' The dark skin of those who have come into the Church is no longer to be considered a sign of the curse. Many of these converts and delightsome and have the Spirit of the Lord. Perhaps there are some Lamanites today who are losing the dark pigment. Many of the members of the Church among the Catawba Indians of the South could readily pass as of the white race; also in other parts of the South.

[Drewtate]

It's literally on every LDS website. They don't mention it when they knock on your door

[shortster]

Well, first off there is no book of Moses in the Book of Mormon.



Secondly your quote from Alma is completely wrong.



I haven't heard of Joseph Fielding Smith, but he seems to takes a lot of context out of Joseph Smith's quote. I will have to see if I can find his book in the library on Monday to see how accurate it actually is.

As for Brigham Young, I view him as an apostate and heretic. So I don't follow any of his teachings.

[Drewtate]

The Book of Moses, dictated by Joseph Smith, is part of the scriptural canon in the Latter Day Saint movement. The book begins with the "Visions of Moses", a prologue to the story of the creation and the fall of man (Moses chapter 1), and continues with material corresponding to the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible's (JST) first six chapters of the Book of Genesis (Moses chapters 2–5, 8), interrupted by two chapters of "extracts from the prophecy of Enoch" (Moses chapters 6–7)
The Book of Moses is considered part of the Standard Works, which constitute the scriptural canon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The eight chapters of the Book of Moses were included as a separate book within the Pearl of Great Price through a series of events subsequent to Smith's death.

How is it I a non-mormon know more about the Mormon faith than you? Perhaps go to any LDS website and look up what your religion actually believes.

[shortster]

Because Smith didn't write the Pearl of Great Price, Brigham Young did. It isn't canon but heresy. Only Young's church has it. The Mormon church split into six different churches at the time of Smith's death. Due to an issue of succession. As Smith prophesized that his son would be the next to lead the church. However, his son was only two at the time of his death. 30 years later a 7th church formed around the leadership of Smith's son. Not all Mormons are LDS; and only groups that split off from the LDS after Young's leadership think that book is worthwhile.

[Drewtate]

Not true. Its well recognised by the LDS ask any real Mormon.

[LiamJHayden]

Under current laws where I live marriage is not even an option.

[exitseven]

No, I have enough drama in my life.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I would do so...

[Chandelier8]

Only some of those religions, not all.

[Carly2005]

Sure if they don’t force their beliefs on me.

[strateguy632]

on you? to carly, see my reply to isla

[HappyWoman34]

Yes, sure

[Sharkstealth]

How do you define Christian?

[Drewtate]

Someone of the christian faith.

[Sharkstealth]

Modern belief in Christianity is the belief in the Catholic Trinity. 2 of the religions named above do not believe I the Catholic belief. They both believe in christ but one doesn't believe he is divine and the other believes he is divine but not as Catholics do.

[Drewtate]

Let's be honest. Islam is closer to Christianity than mormonism.

[Sharkstealth]

The only thing different that Mormons believe is that there are other prophets in addition.

[Exterminatore]

Not a chance.

[LavLavLuv]

Yes..

[Kelly6]

Sure

[Al_Musafir]

A Muslim!

[Nice222]

I did
