I personally wouldn't mind, but respect my partner's traditions.
I don't have a religion, but I am incompatible with a religious person, so my answer is no.
I don't mind. Though my grandmother would probably have a heart attack if I married a non-Muslim :D
I would date someone of another religion, which would be any religion, since I don't have one that I observe. But it depends how religious they are. I don't think I could date someone who is extremely religious, and who let it consume their life.
I would never get involved with someone who disagrees with me on crucial political and social issues though.
I am an omnist, so I'd have no problem.
Yes. I have and I did.
No, I am atheist.
There ain't that many white Gnostics or Buddhists out there. I am not religious in the least, but I am a seeker of the truth. ;) Someone religious who is attached to rituals and formulas no way. Someone nominally belonging to religion, no problem. One thing I learned is that spiritually your mate has to be very close or relationship won't work very well. Really spiritual babe for me, I met only one so far, there ain't many of them out there. :(
Yes. :)
Yes.Marrying a Christian Ebony chick would even be nice ;)
Yes but only if religion didn't interfere in our lives.
Religion is a non issue unless the girl is a fanatic like Mary or bosnian :D
Yes.
I am a Pagan and I wouldn't marry a non-Pagan woman, she has to be at least an atheist. I would have only a Pagan wedding/
I'd strongly prefer a Catholic man as I'm believing and observant Catholic but I could accept a different Christian confession if the man in question is just 'wow!'. :)
Different religions or followers of the Nirvana cult are inacceptable.
For some reasons Pagan girls I meet bahave in a way that is particularly nice and appealing. I believe it's because of their respect to nature, including our own.
In the past I used to date people with differing religions from mine but experience has taught me that most compatible people for my self are people with similar beliefs to my self.
Depends on the definition of different religion. I suppose any sort of Christian wouldn't be unacceptable (though I would cut the line at Mormons, Jehova's Witnesses and some other). But, I don't think I would marry a non-Christian (other than, maybe, an Agnostic).
Sure why not two of my maternal Uncles married a Christian Protestant Americans, and it was not a problem.
No, I won't. My religion doesn't allow it. And we'd probably end up having religious ''debates'' all the time...
I'm not the religious type, so this wouldn't even be a thought in my head unless they expect me to practice their faith. Future partners will likely be no more religious than I am, but I wouldn't have a problem with it if they were.
Far as I'm concerned, you can be a "non-believer" and still have morals and be a decent human being. The choice one makes of practicing a religion says nothing about who they are and WHY they chose to.
I don't need to be "sweet-talked" into being a good person, it just comes naturally for me to help others when possible, I just don't expect anything more than death's embrace for my good deeds, as if there's absolutely some sort of fairy tale after-life where I can just laze around and indulge in hedonistic pleasures for all eternity, reunited with the ones I've loved and lost..
I'll more than likely be rotting in the ground getting face-f$$ked by maggots while the electro-magnetic energies that were once my unique consciousness merge with the atmosphere or something.. It's a bittersweet symphony, but hey, that's life. :rolleyes: I'm quite the positive penny, aren't I? :coffee:
There should be option other. I would date only Christian girl, but except such weird like Seventh Day Adventist.
Yes, as long as she respect my views.
Depends on how traditional they are. Having some overly religious family members, I can verify that some are quite obnoxious. That is probably a manifestation if their personality more than anything else, though. I sometimes consider myself culturally christian despite my agnosticism and atheism. So I would probably like to stay within that cultural frame.
I am more spiritual and have never really been into religion but I have dated women in the past who had different spiritual beliefs to me and I've never had a problem with it. I dont however think I could date or marry somebody who was deeply committed to religion or their church or was a fundamentalist in any way. That would be a major turn off for me.
As long as the person isn't an atheist or a follower of any of the Judaic religions (including any kinds of satanism) I'm fine with it. I don't really like Wicca that much either, but I guess it's better than the others I've mentioned above.
I said earlier I would marry someone from almost any religion, but that is because I am not religious myself. But I don't see how anyone who is deeply religious could marry someone from another religion. That seems insane to me.
Depends on the circumstances. Generally, yes, but I would certainly not date/marry them if:
- They wanted me to abstain from sex until marriage, due to their religion.
If my girlfriend flat out refused to have sex with me until marriage, I would break up with her. However, I would accept regular blowjobs & footjobs as a compromise.
- They wanted me to get circumcised, due to their religion.
This one might sound crazy, but it actually happened to someone I know. His Jewish girlfriend refused to have sex with him and they soon broke up because he refused to get circumcised. She didn't even want to wait until marriage either, all that stopped them having sex was his foreskin.
- They wouldn't marry me unless I converted to their religion.
I certainly don't like being controlled, especially by a female. However, if I got into a serious relationship and considered marrying a religious female, then I would probably involve myself in her religion voluntarily.
However, with all that being said, there are many advantages to marrying a religious (especially a seriously religious) woman that can often make those things (with the exception of #2; circumcision is an absolute no-no for me) worth it.
I was raised Roman Catholic and Anita was raised Greek Orthodox.
I am now Asatrú, have been for 24 years (left the Church and Christianity in 1975). My wife has become, to try and describe it, an agnostic-deist-realist with Stoic tendencies (which I have, too) who respects Asatrú and sometimes participates. Due to life circumstances, her cradle religion faded further and further away, unlike the conscious decision I made.
I am not religious, so it doesn't really matter for me unless it's some kind of a cult. My partner could be religious - everyone has their flaws...
I've gotta say, I do not think European descended people have the luxury of being able to not date somebody because they don't believe in the same god or gods as you. I'm a Wiccan, my boyfriend is agnostic, he respects my beliefs and I respect his. It's never been a problem for me on any level.
I will only date atheists/agnostics. In Estonia that is not a problem, but in any case I will make sure that the person does not believe in god.
No, because I find it would be very difficult and create both distance and tension between us.
