Do you want your partner to share your beliefs?

As I am more of an agnostic, I would marry someone of any denomonation or belief, as long as I love them and they don't mind if I don't fully commit to their religion.

Who knows if I'll ever find someone like that, I'll probably end up becoming a false convert because I love the person, or marrying an atheist (which I am not sure I want to do).

After all I believe that many times, conventional gestures of the like, lead people to have faith in a religion, one of them being the need to fit in society and feel a member of a formed group of people with expressed ideas; a sense of coexistance.

Maybe love is one of them.

I have thought of that possibility too and tbh I dont find it bad at all. If I love that person (and of course his religion is respectful and he in turn as a person and a believer is sensible and moderate) then I would have absolutely no problem to commit myself to his religion even though I would know that I dont have the necessary faith in it.

I'm curious, Teenaged, what's with the masculine pronouns?

Teenaged is gay?

Awesome, that makes two for this union including Theokhoth.

Aye it could indeed all be a mistake (a Freudian slip perhaps).

Actually, Freudian slips aren't so much defined as mistakes, but rather the situation where someone accidentally says what they're really thinking rather than what they intended to say.

I picture this thing as being introduced to that religion through your partner.

Simply put:

You begin to see religion as a part of what your partner is as a person.

And not to see your partner as part of that religion.

I hope that prioritising makes sense.

PS: Any chance this thread gets back on topic? Not very comfortable at the moment.

Hmmm, it'd always be best if our beliefs complimented each other, but they don't necessarily have to be the same. If she truly believed that I'd burn in a lake of feiry sulphur (yeah, suck on that 'ph', IUPAC), then I don't think that would gel.MetalGear_Ninty

Sorry about that Teenaged we'll drop that line of discussion.

haha, I tried not to comment during that portion^ of the discussion.

Exactly what I meant was that I'd be happy with a partner of a different religion, as long as they aren't avid converters (Jehovis Witnesses and the like).

Religion always comes into consideration early in a relationship, so falling in love with a person you know to be against your belief would be difficult, as these would be things you would find out early (usu.).

Meh now I feel like a stupid "annoyed" person. >_>

Not that big of a deal. I dont like telling you what to do. Go ahead and comment.

PS: Mods dont mod me, I am just mocking the video posted inthe other thread of this union by quoting some of its lunatic statements.

Thanks you for your understanding.

Mentioning buttsecks is nothing moddable, lest mentioning anything about homosexuality is. :?

The only thing I can guess is that whoever reported it counted on the assumption one would make that I would get annoyed by Funky's comment, which is very cunning I must say (and anti-Christian... ;) ).....

EDIT: The last comment was not directed at you of course Chili.

Nay, the small sect of Cowon is the truth! The magical device which sings to my very soul has revealed it to me! Ipoders will suffer eternally in itunes playing Soulja Boi on endless repeat for they chose the apple, they cannot be saved! Sony and Zune are merely misinterpretations of the holy hymns, but they will be forgiven if they turn in their magical devices at their local holy JB Hi Fi magestore for a magical device of Cowon, for the mere sum of $300 of course, but what a small price to pay for eternal salvation!

Rember guys, anybody can read these threads, and it only takes one pissed off person to report a post.

What are your problems with I-pods and apple?!

The other companies I'm not sure about, but I definetely prefer them to M$ (in every way possible).

Not necessarily. It'd be great if she is as much of a virulent atheist as I am, but it's fine even if she disagrees with me on everything dogma related.

She isn't as well-versed in religion as I am, but she doesn't ascribe to any faith, nor does she believe anything absolutely (i.e. a gnostic atheist/theist, who believes they are somehow "right"), and she wants to raise children exactly like me; educate them in all religions and let them choose of their own accord.

I don't see what's unattractive about that. If you don't think you're right, why do you believe the way you do? Is it out of blind faith?
