Religon in Dating

If you think it's tricky when you're dating, imagine how difficult it would be once you get married and have children. I'm not saying it couldn't work out, but I would imagine that if one person was Christian and the other Jewish or Buddhist or even Agnostic or Athiest, it would be a constant sticking point within the relationship, what with trying to come to an agreement on how to raise the children, whether or not to observe certain religious holidays, etc. I also think it would be very confusing for the children if mommy insisted on going to church, reading the bible, praying, etc. and daddy was always rolling his eyes or having nothing to do with it.

As far as my personal opinion goes, I am very traditional in that I believe the man should be the spiritual leader of his family.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So what you're saying is that you absolutely refuse to be in a relationship with a religious person. Therefore, you should have voted "yes" (I think).

I was under the impression that a "no" meant that religion didn't factor into the relationship at all.

But I could be wrong.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Are you a devout Jew? What if you end up marrying a Christian and you have children? Would you pitch a big fit about celebrating Christmas? What effect do you think it would have on your children that you disbelieve in the very core fundamentals of their mother's religion? What if she cooked shrimp on Friday or whatever (I'm not all that familiar with kosher regulations, sorry). Would that be a problem?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Anyone else laughing at all the people who said, "Oh, religion is fine as long as the person doesn't try to push their beliefs on me"?

I don't know about Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc, but you guys do realize that a big part of Christianity is evangelism, right? If you're involved with a "Christian" who never tries to help you accept Jesus, they're not much of a Christian. So what you're really saying is that you don't mind dating people who claim to be Christians although they don't practice the teachings of Jesus.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
