i was dating this girl in the past. probably a good 3 months ago ro so and i was told today that i broke up with her for a dumb reason..
i broke it off because she was getting into mormonism. i personally amd a christian and i do not believe the mormon faith. i believe whole heartedly that it is a cult. i also believe that a reqlationship like that woul dnever really work because a major part of the relationshipd would be about religion and we didnt see eye to eye. we stillt alk and what not but i just wont date her because she is getting more and more involved. so was i in the wrong? am i really an *** or was it an ok reason to end a relationship?

It was OK, mostly because it would be very hard to have a relationship where you didn't both have the same life goals. Plus, since temple marriage is such a HUGE part of the LDS church, and you wouldn't have one, it would be hard to keep the marriage together. That is the ultimate goal so she would probably always be wanting that.

I think you are on target with ending it. The Bible recommends that we're not to be unequally yoked. Religious belief differences will cause an immediate strain on a marriage. She would despise yours and you would despise hers. If she doesn't understand - too bad. You will be happier with someone who has the same religious aspirations or at least similar. Yes, Mormonism is a cult started by Joseph Smith. They typically practice things that are not in line with Christianity and in some cases as with multiple wives is against the law. I applaud you for getting out early - it saved both of you a lot of grief.

I think that it is understandable for you to have broken up with her. If your religion or faith is a major part of your life, it is very hard to be in a serious relationship if you have a big problem with something that is a part of the other person's life. However, I wouldn't tell her that her religion is a "cult" but it is good that you let her know that you do not agree with it. I think its for the best that you broke up with her.

In my opinion, as a mormon, unless you were planning to marry her, you probably did not need to break up with her. There are good people from all religions. Despite differences in doctrines, you could still have uplifted and inspired one another. Christ is our example, and while he wasn't necessarily dating, he did show us the way. Christ ate and associated with many people that were not "worthy" of him and did not believe in the same things that he taught. If he could be tolerant and loving to all, I think it is our duty as Christians to try to do the same. You were only dating her after all.
The decision was made however, and this is just my opinion.

I am Mormon, but in a minute it will become clear I no longer practice. You are a ******* retard. Ignorance like yours is what makes this world what it is. Judge without any prior knowledge. Mormons are Christians just like Methodists, or Catholics, or Lutherans, etc. They all believe in Jesus Christ, they just vary a little on the details. Think of it this way, twit. We all drive different cars to the grocery store, but we're all driving cars, and we'll all get there. You little ******* idiot. You probably ruined the best thing you ever had, and you will grow old all alone. Stupid kid.

No you're not an a**hole. The religion thing is always going to be a problem that will never get solved. It'll end up standing between you. Agree to disagree, and move on. It would never work.

If there is no way you can ever accept her being a mormon, then you probably did the right thing.

No you were not wrong, religion is a hot topic, plus she would have tried to convert you as she became more involved. . . reformed. . .transformed.
