Just wondering - I don't think I would. I'm Christian by the way. I view Christians and Catholics both being Christians, so there's not a big difference with that. I'm talking about like a Muslim and a Jew or a Christian and a Muslim.

No. The Bible says to NOT be unequally yoked. And for good reason, because it causes too many problems and if you get married, the difference in beliefs will confuse the children.

Not only did I go out with someone who has different religious views, I married him. We both share a respect for other religions, which is why we get along so well. This December will make 5 years for us and we are still going strong, not to mention we haven't had one single fight. Don't take no offense, but I know several Christian couples who have had some major arguments over the pettiest things? That's weird huh? Anyhow, my husband's Buddhist and I'm Pagan and I truly believe that if you really deeply love someone, then a difference in religion shouldn't keep you apart.

Many people in my family go out with people and marry people with different religious views and of different races. Most of my family way back when before we came to the US, were Jewish and Protestant, then they all converted to Catholicism. Today, people in my family are a mix of Jews, Catholics, and Protestants, there have been no Muslims yet, thank goodness. I do not think that anyone is ready for that. The women in this family will never were veils unless it is at a wedding or a funeral.

It depends on a couple things. If his religious views are different but at the same time respectful of others beliefs and lifestyles, then I could probably be with him. However, if he was an active member in a church that thinks they are the only true church and that everyone who does not agree is going to hell-- then there would be a problem that I am not willing to deal with. I could respect his right to believe that but at the same time, I think such beliefs go against the purpose of God and would not choose to develop a love relationship that takes a lot of work and time with someone with exclusionist beliefs.

No, not again.
I dated a Catholic for quite some time. I'm atheist. There were just too many fundamental differences, and his family would never accept me without my converting to Catholicism. I couldn't bring myself to do that, and would not willingly enter into such a relationship again.

yep, I'm of Christian denomination, (not following any typical religion) and my husband is Catholic.
I've dated all different religions, even Atheist. It doesnt' really matter as long as you don't make it an issue.
Good people are good people.

Maybe, but probably not. I will only marry someone who is LDS. I would feel bad, like I was leading them on if I dated someone more than once or twice who wasn't LDS. If a guy can't marry me in the temple, what's the point? I'd feel like I was wasting his and my time.

I'm marrying an agnostic, so my answer is definitely "Yes".
We have different paths, but we respect each other's beliefs and don't try to change the other, which is the key.

It would depend upon how different they were and if the person could accept my views and beliefs and not try to change me.
