Can you live in peace when 2 religions are mixed up in 1 family?

Question

Say your husband was a non-catholic (you are a Christian & aRoman Catholic) and he attacked your religion even after you telling him "religion causes war" so back off. You are regularly tormented with these religion topics that disturb you immensely. How would you solve it?

as to why he would attack? Give yu a hint? Da Vinci Code? (though this is long before DVC)

Answer 1

My husband is Catholic and I am an atheist, and yes we live perfectly in peace. If you show respect for each other, your opinions and beliefs then there shouldn't be a problem. We do not attack each other on our beliefs, though we have been known to debate it a bit. If it is that big of an issue for you and you can't discuss it rationally without someone getting angry then just don't discuss it. There are plenty of other subjects out there, if you want to discuss religion do it with someone else.

Answer 2

I can answer this two ways but yes it can work if everyone involved respects each other enough to back off and not try to convert the other to their religion. I had a husband who turned Christian after we married and tried to convert me even though I am a Wiccan High Priestess and have been for years. He is in prison now and I am not. Hee Hee. And no I did not put him there he decided to act like a catholic priest and play with the alter boys. My new fiance is a Christian and seems to respect my beliefs most of the time. I don't ever impose mine on him and I expect him to give me the same courtesy. So if everyone involved is reasonable and adult then yes a multi- religious household can be fun and interesting. If even one person decides to act like an idiot then it can be a war zone.
Good luck.

Answer 3

My wife and I are complete opposites, not to mention we are female and male, she is a "born again" Christian (whatever that means) and I am an Atheist. She can't defend her faith because it is a belief without any factual reason to back the position. And I can't prove there is no God any more than a person can prove any negative. We do talk because I am an open minded Atheist. That, by my definition is a person who could be convinced with proof, trouble is no one has any. We have been married for 35 years, have four children and I haven't counted the grandchildren for over a week. We both have all our arms and leg, I am short my left index finger but my wife was not to blame. It was all me.

I guess the short answer is sure, two persons can live in peace because they are individuals. People can't seem to though because people are a mob, with a mob mentality.

Answer 4

by listening to his points and if u believe in ur religion ( that means to have a good knowledge in the religions) because u cant believe in something if u didn't know it well.. talk to him about it and see what is his points and what his religion says.

let me tell u some facts
the Christianity is going back comparing to Islam for example
in 1900 Muslims12.8% Christians 26.9%
in 1980 Muslims 16.5% Christians 30%
in 2000 Muslims 19.2% Christians 29.9%

that means Muslims number increase every year 2.9% which is the most higher growing percentage in the world

if we follow the numbers the result will be
in 2025 Muslims 30% Christians 25%

and that didn't come from nothing it came because there is many weak things in Christianity i prefer if u want to understand well u should read about the beginning of Christianity and how many time they change in the main issues in this religion.

sorry and forgive me if i was clear in my answer i dint want to look at me in the same way you do to Ur husband

Answer 5

The problem here is both of them don't know what is spirituality. They both have religions which every time they wanted to claim as the best. To live spiritually you don't need a wide knowledge. The basic to start with it is accepting Him as your creator and treating others as equal beings. There begins a peaceful life. I don't see any Christian there. If any one of them was a Christian this situation would not be there.

Answer 6

I am christian ( baptist ) and my husband is buddhist. I study buddhist and make lists that are similar and that are totally different. and explain it to my husband when ever he attacked me on the religion. .And I try to understand what the bible says about uneven burden, showing kindness, love and patience and most of all praying with all my heart. It doesn't work all the time, but reading other religion's teaching and go through the bible again and again, make you understand other points of view and bible more thoroughly. It's make your point more interesting.

Answer 7

I think you should make an agreement for never to talk about religion. That's NEVER.....its the best way since most people have tendency to think what they believe is the only true way so there will be a non winning argument and unnecessary resentment. Its not worth it...

Answer 8

I'm lucky, because my family has many religions within...

We have Christians (Church Of Scotland), Catholics, Muslims & Ukrainian Orthodox.

The mixture of beliefs never causes any problems... in fact, it's a bonus at Christmas & Easter time. We get to celelbrate it twice!!

Answer 9

Keep religion out of family since its two religions under one roof. You don't need any proof
Religion if good and true will tolerate others
there is no use bargaining, disputing, arguing, quarrelling.
all that is not religion.

Answer 10

If this was known before you got married, he should BACK OFF. He knew you were Catholic before and it shouldn;t matter now.
If he can't drop it, you really should check out some marriage counseling to resolve it and do before you have kids. YOu don't want to drag them into it.
