I think that you should not become a christian simply because your significant other believes you should, find out what being a christian really is and decide for yourself. Ask your siginificant other loads of questions about the topic but remember that they are likely to be bias in opinion so keep that in mind. Discovering for yourself is the best option in my opinion.

I think you should try, and, if you find yourself actually believing and understanding then stick with it, however, it is sometimes impossible for people to convert to a different religion or have a religion in the first place. So, if you find yourself having trouble, and you feel like you're drowning so to speak then stop, don't try to be something your not and in reality, faking faith is worse than not believing in the first place. Hopefully your significant other will support you either way because it is your choice in the end, not theirs.

Read the bible you will be suprised , I love the the bibical storie's , the are so interesting and the more you read the more you understand people are gonna mess up in life , we are just human . Then once you see man's fault and understand that you are not indeed a bad person you are just human , your self esteem will sky rocket .Nobody can just become a Christian over night , it takes time , but reading the bible is a starter..I myself sometimes feel like a bad Christian but im indeed a Christian ,and there are real artifacts to back it up whoever said it was just opions..

I think that if you're not Christian, and if after studying the Christian religion it doesn't "speak" to you, that you shouldn't be pressured into changing your beliefs for someone else.
Religion is about YOUR connection to the Divine, not what someone else thinks your connection to the Divine should be.
Mixed-religion relationships can work as long as both parties respect the right for the other to have different beliefs, even if they don't share them.

What does "significant other" mean? For me, its my cat. Anyway, become a Christian if its in your heart to do that, not just because some friend or family member thinks you should.

You shoulnd't change your religions just because your sig. other is some other religion. You should believe in your own religion rather than looking for ways to convert. Unless you have very strong reasons to convert, you should stick to your religion. And Christians are always looking for people to convert...maybe the guy/girl should accept you the way you are and live with the fact that you're some other religion. You should snap back at them that you believe that they should convert to your religion and see their response.
Anyways, religion shouldn't even matter in a relationship and he needs to understand that.

Well, your significant other is entitled to believe whatever they want to believe, but they cannot force you to be that. If they love you they must accept you for who you are. If they try to change you it is because they don't like who you are, and why should you be with someone who doesn't like you for who you are?
By the way, why is everyone referring to your significant other as a "he" ?? Why is it automatically assumed that it's a guy when you don't mention a he or a she?! hahaha

I think you should sit down with your SO and talk with them about why you believe in what you currently believe in. Ask them how they would feel if you wanted them to change to your belief system.
If something like this is going to keep your relationship from going forward, you might want to put an end to it before a needless squabble breaks out.

NO
I was once Christian, you don't know what sort of emotional freedoms you have now. I went agnostic/athiest about a year ago and one I did the feeling was so liberating. YOU should control your own life, not a 2000 year old book of lies.
Live your own life.

What do you think? That's who you should be asking, yourself. You're going to have some people on here that say you should become christian, and some that say you shouldn't. You should do what you want to do.
My hubby is Catholic, and I'm not...and it works out for us as we're both accepting of the others beliefs. He would never ask me to convert for him.
