Does your religion prohibit you from maintaining friendship with people from other religion, or marrying even?

Answer 1

No, my religion encourages friendly relationships with everyone, and values diversity of opinion.
Personally, I think two married people who have very different religions, and who are serious about them, are likely to have a difficult marriage. I know two Christian girls who married Muslims, and it was very tough for all concerned. Both marriages ended in acrimonious divorce.

Answer 2

My religion is Islam.Islam in line with Qur'an does not prohibit me from maintaining friendship and business relation with people from other religion as long as the other religion followers have no ill intention.We should love,help and respect each other and keep peace.We should live full of tolerance with other religion followers.But in Islam a muslim man should marry with the muslim woman.So if a muslim man will get married with a non muslim woman,she should first convert her religion to Islam by making a vow or witness statement that she believe in Allah as the only one God,and Muhammad pbuh is the messenger and prophet of Allah..The marriage will not valid if the muslim man married to non muslim woman before converting her religion and the marriage office will refuse the recording of their marriage.In this situation the muslim husband will be determined as making adultery and he will get big sin..Their children wil not receive inheritance from his father.

Answer 3

Neither of my two religions do. I am a member of the Ethical Society, which is a religion of sorts: in any case, it is classified as such for tax purposes, and has services every Sunday. I am also a witch, which is not incompatible with the Ethical Society. Both are sufficiently minor that we would be terribly isolated indeed if we were unwilling to make friends with people of different faiths. I figure everyone's religion/belief/lack of same is their own business, not mine. If they ask about my beliefs, I will tell them as much as I find appropriate, but if they don't, no problem. If they tell me what their religion is, I will feel free to ask POLITE questions about it. Curiosity is my number one character trait.

Answer 4

Homeland Security cited the verse most commonly used when explaining why Christians are not to marry unbelievers.

However, we are allowed to have friends regardless of their religious affiliation. In fact, if we only interacted with other believers, how would we ever preach to every creature? Note that potential conversion should NOT be the basis of any friendship.

Answer 5

Buddhist believe that all sentient beings should be treated with compassion. Basically, all of the beings in the universe is just one big family. Buddhism is a religion that tries to unite people. Sadly I have seen other religions that go out of their way to divide people and start wars.

Answer 6

No. like most religions they view same religion marraige as ideal, but certainly not required. If someone truly belives their religion has alot to offer, they feel no need to force it on others. They simply let the other in on it as interest developes.

As for frienships, how can you show firsthand to others the goodness of your religion if you never associate with people of other religions? I believe you should interact and be friends with people of other faiths.

Answer 7

No, I am a pagan, of the path of Asatru, Norse Reconstruction. Pagan religions do not dictate such things, I am friends with other Heathens , a term we use for believers of the Norse pantheon, Wiccans, Christians and Muslims.
A religion should compliment your life and not rule it.
