you should leave your boyfriend. the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
don't get yourself into trouble by getting involved with something you shouldn't be involved in. (:

I don't know what your religion says about inter-religion dating...I can only speak of mine...
Mine says don't; not to be unequally yoked. There's a reason. When you and your boyfriend or spouse don't have the same goals and the same beliefs...you will always be on two different paths.
Even if one of you were to give up who you are and decided to go with the other one...you are now trying to become someone you are not. They didn't fall in love or want to be with the person you could be...they loved the one you are / were.
I have experience in this...I was in a relationship for 10 years w/ someone with different beliefs...and it's a hard road to be on.
I think most religions are this way for a reason. Relationships in this day and age are more difficult than any other time in history. We are all better off with surrounding ourselves with like minded friends, boyfriends and or spouses...
Doesn't mean you can't be around other's that are not like-minded. Just means you keep them with a little distance from yourself...
Grace to you and God bless!

Well, this decision depends on what religion you are in. I am a christian and I believe in the Word of God. So I have been through having relationships and the other person is not interested and it will interfere with you walk with God.
You don't want anything to come between your walk with Christ. No one is more important than he is. I don't know what religion you believe strongly in but if you feel that he is not being supportive than you need to cut him loose.
Everyone has a conscious and everyone has a soul no matter what religion you are and everyone is going to go to their final destination. If your desire is to please God than you need to be separated and set apart from the world and if he is causing you to be less interested in what you been raised in than cut that devil loose. Their are two things that hold us bound in life it is ourselves and others. You can't live your life trying to please man, you have to do what is best for you. Salvation is the answer and is the key and since he knows how strongly you feel about your religion you should try talking to him to try to see where he is at. where is he coming from. Everyone is not going to have the same point of view as you have, but if he looks like he is trying than pray for him and you will never know maybe God will deliver him, but still separate yourself from him because sins go from body to body and they are sort of like a disease. It will eat you up. Do what your heart says, most importantly follow the Lord, he won't stirr you wrong. And if it ain't him that you are talking about than I respect your religion, I am going to follow Christ, you follow what you have been taught.
Continue in your religion and don't let know one shake your ground, especially people who don't take what you are doing serious?
You have to ask yourself is this serious to you? If it is than you need to ask yourself that will this prevent me from going to heaven? If it is than you need to cut him loose. There is only one way up and that is OBEDIENCE, you can either accept it or you don't have to but remember the truth will not only set you free it will make you free.

You have to decide which is more important to you. If he is interfering with your personal religion then confront him. If he doesn't stop then I would give him a warning about it instead of just leaving him all of the sudden without even giving him the chance to stop and think about what he's doing to you and whether or not he really wants ALL of you. It sounds harsh, but it's true...
I'll be praying for you and good luck with that.

Being involved in suspicious activities is reason enough alone. The Bible does say in II Corinthians 6:14 - "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

The choice is your own. But if you stay, this disagreement will arise time and again. You live by a set of standards set down for your benefit by God. You see the principals and guidelines as helpfull and wonderful.. He may see them only as restrictive.. This battle may go on through out your entire relationship. Show him the scriptures. Explain to him how very important they are to you and how you feel when you go against them. If he loves you, he will at least respect this.
Prayerfully,
Sarah

The Bible speaks about being unequally yoked with unbelievers. If you are a truly born again believer, then you should only have Christian boyfriends, and ones who are progressing in their faith. The Bible says, "How can light have fellowship with darkness"?
I think you already know the answer to your question my dear.

If religion is that important to you, find a new boyfriend in the church who beleives the same you do. This relationship won't work if you two aren't on the same page.

It's one thing to have different religions and quite another to be with someone whose behavior is opposed to your faith.
Doing things that are against a religion are also usually illegal as well, and if not, he still knows his behavior is distressing you.
Sounds like it is time to move on.

dont be involved with somebody because you personally don't like what they are doing, not because your religion tells you something is bad. you can think for yourself and make a decision about whether or not you like what your boyfriend is doing. if you don't like it, and its enough to make you want to leave him, then do so. but don't do it for religious reasons. Your own heart is worth more than that. Listen to yourself, decide what you like or don't like, and make a decision.
