Depends on how strongly you hold your personal beliefs. Maybe they will reinforce more understanding.

My resulted in divorce after 6 years of constant bickering over mundane things. The real test is having children with a person that differs from you in belief.

I think it would be interesting to understand more about a person's belief system, especially one that was very different. It might make one examine one's own beliefs in more detail which could be a very positive and affirming experience. I would have concerns if a person changed their beliefs solely to please a flatmate or friend.

You've never been in the military have you? None of my roommates were Christians and though we differed we got along. Of course I can only stomach Pink Floyd's the Wall so much and no porn which they respected cuz I got there back more than once for other things.
I did punch my roommate as hard as I could when he got in my face and told me he was Satan. I told him how I've always wanted to do that to the devil. Behold, he wasn't Satan anymore. go figure.

I feel we can all learn from one another. So if it was just a matter of rooming with someone and sharing expenses, I wouldn't have a problem with it. It wouldn't sway my own beliefs but would enlighten me to my roomie's beliefs.

It would probably be a nice step into reality.... People would probably get alot more than they thought they might......Keeping in mind that each persons perceptions and experiences would be different......some would come away with a good insight and some would just find reasons to keep on distrusting and criticizing.....

It depends on how real your belief is, and how supportable your belief is, because it would be challenged.
It would be a great test to see if you are standing on solid rock or quicksand.

My husband and I have the same beliefs. I honestly wouldn't want to be with somebody who didn't have the same beliefs.

Actually I have done this for years. It had actually built up my personal belief. I was strengthened by asking myself what do I truly believe.

Nope, I can't stand having roommates. I can barely stand living with my fiance and even then I have to kick him out of the apartment occasionally to give me some peace and quiet. (He's christian and i'm atheist by the way.)
