Answer 2

I'm a Christian and I was married to a man who wasnt religious at all. I am currently engaged to a muslim(Islam). We have agreed to repect each other's beliefs and not try to change them. The only thing we have asked of each other is that he read the bible and I read the quran. I dont think there is anything wrong with it. I know some would probably quote the bible where it says "not to be unequally yoked". I take this scripture not as a "law" as some do, but has a "guide" because God knows that it can be very difficult for two people who believe so strongly in their faiths to be married. I think as long as there is mutual respect then it can be accomplished.

Answer 3

Personally I wouldn't date someone that didn't have the same religion as me for example I'm Christian and i would date other Christians or catholics anything similar to my religion because i feel it would be an issue trying to date someone that doesn't believe in the same thing as you do... thats just me because I'm religious and i go to church but i don't think its wrong to do that, there is people that understanding of one another and who they are.

Answer 4

I'm surprised that more than one person thought it would be wrong to date outside of their religion. I think that despite what religion you're involved in, the majority have the same basic views. Don't kill, don't steal, blahblahblah.

I would have no problem dating someone with a different religion than mine, as long as they didn't try to push their beliefs onto me.

Answer 5

Yes I would and no I don't think it is wrong. Although I would prefer to date other Agnostics (like my boyfriend) or athiests, I would date a Christian, Jew, Catholic...etc.

But I'm happy with my boyfriend. We are both Agnostics.

If we were not together, I feel that I would get along better with another Agnostic or Athiest. Not because of religion, but odds are I do not share the same views as a Catholic or Christian =D

But as long as they are kind people and treat me well...it does not matter.

Answer 6

i would if i wanted to and loved that person. theres nothing wrong with dating someone of a different religion. if love is in the air, handle it w/ care. thats what i say. dont worry about religion. if two people r really in luv, nothing can stand in their way. love is a powerful thing. we have 2 learn whether we love someone or like them. theres a difference. so religion is not a matter.

Answer 7

No I would not, even though I don't attend anymore given the fallen state of all places of worship. This is what I believe:

2Corinthians 6:14

It should be read in context with the rest of the chapter. There is a lot of heartache when you genuinely love someone but you are not likeminded.

Some may contend it's just a verse. Well, that's what I base my life on. It isn't just literature. It's also there to remind me just how fallen I really am, but with an out.

Answer 8

Yes I have dated (and now married) someone with religion - I don't have one. No it is not wrong. Relationships are made from more than just what ~label~ you are.

Answer 9

There's nothing wrong with that.
If, in the future, you decide to get married and your beliefs are tremendously different then that will be a different situation, but to just date, can't see anything wrong with that. It may be a good learning experience to see how other people practice their beliefs.

Answer 10

its not wrong,
if the 2 people love each other they would find some way to work out the religion thing

Answer 11

Deus Caritas Est.

God is love.

I know too many ladies with a laundry list of "must haves" for their men. They are so sad and lonely. Unwilling to even date even once a man who doesn't meet their criteria.

Where is the harm in it?

What if God wishes you to be with someone who may not fit your list of requirements?

Not that you, dear one, have these requirements. I'm just thinking out loud.

I don't see anything wrong with dating someone of another faith. Or even of no faith. We all have things to give to one another.

I know one woman who immediately stopped dating a man she'd fallen for hard when he told her he didn't believe in God. How sad is that? It only shows doubt in her own faith. If she honestly believed she would have had the courage to shine the light of Christ on him.
