We both couldn't keep our eyes off of each other until he invited me to his church (I am a Sikh).He asked me what I thought of Church, I nicely told him I learned things that are not part of my belief set.I had also gone to his church group because I am open to religions & believe that there is only one god.I told him I am not searching for a religion or an answer.Before he used to IM me for no reason, but last couple of days, he has ignored me like I never existed.That made one thing clear that he was interested in me, till he came to know my religious beliefs.But I feel it's immature of him to cut off because I am brought up with diff beliefs.My effort was to learn things that r important for him.But apprently he doesn't care to learn about my faith or even consider respecting.I know he has lost interest in me not coz of me,but my faith.I msgd him once and left him alone after that as I don't want to lose my worth over him.I am hoping he'll realize his immaturity & talk.Suggestions?

You have asked this question 5 times it seems.
From what I skimmed from your other questions, religion is very important to him. It's hard to say if he's a "fanatic" or not from a few lines on a screen. Sikh and Chrisian are very different religions. The two of you probably would have not been to happy together as things progressed. It's probably better it ended now before you got too involved with each other. Suppose it had progressed to marriage. Living in a household with parents of mixed faiths is not easy. My dad was a Mormon and my Mom was a Baptist, and that's a lot closer than Sikh and (Fundamentalist?) Christian. There would have been a lot of arguments, trust me. The only way it would have worked is if both or at least one of you hadn'y been serious about your religion, and obviously you both are.
if you want to keep your Sikh faith, you should try to find someone the same religion as yourself. Learn from this expirence and move on.

I don't think it is immaturity, the Bible does say not to be unequally yolked, so you have to find someone who is compatible. I think that if religion is very important to him, than that is an area where he needs to be very much alike with the person he dates. I would say that someone who is immature would be more likely to dismiss the consequences of a continued relationship and possible marriage, only to find out that things are a lot harder when you don't see eye to eye. Make sense? In other words, he may seem close minded, but he may just be looking into the future and seeing that things wouldn't work out in the long run. He still should be able to discuss it with you though even if you don't end up getting together. So, he may be handling the situation in an immature way even if he is making the right choice.

It happens, sadly. The same thing happened to me when my "interest" in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ended. A friend who I worked with would only speak to me if I was on what he believed to be a track to conversion, and as soon as I told him I wouldn't convert... suddenly a chill crossed over the air.
Either he'll get over his narrow view or he won't. Reflect on the situation as a lesson on patience and understanding of the causes and conditions that make people who they are. Until he comes around, I'm sure you have lots of other friends... you sound intelligent. Don't fret.

Not all Christians oppose birth control, some do. Many of us oppose abortion except in case for mothers health, rape and incest. Yes we oppose embryonic stem cells as this has all ready opened pandorias box, as the bbc reported that female babies in china where found murdered, and had their brains removed for the stem cells. Science is not always right, just the same that many religous people are not always right. It takes everyone in society to makes things right.

How old are you guys? If you are not yet of the 20's you have to understand him. Because I don't know this guy it's hard for me to answer this question. He's probably... nvm it's complex.

Probably ruined his hopes of getting a buyer... Anyone that looks to change you is not worth it, forget him.

He probably just can't understand your decision. It's his problem, you can find someone more openminded who cares about you just as much.

He probably doesn't want to be unequally yoked.
