Asking someone out...LOL!
2006-09-29, 5:50 PM #1
Would you ask someone out that had a different religious beliefs, but were not forcing them on you like everyone else does?

If they were devout in their religion, but not zealous.

Why not?

In my case, no, but I don't mind it either.

She's Christian (probably protestant) and I'm athiest.

Then I'd turn her to the darkside.

I'm pretty sure that I've never dated anyone that had the same religious beliefs as I do.

People need to realize that the whole world is never going to be a xerox copy of themselves.

I voted no, but I meant maybe.

I'm kind of anti-religion, for personal reasons, along with ethical reasons, and if someone was kind of crazy about it, I'd have issues with it.

I'd still hit it though.

Well, seeing as my girlfriend is Jewish and I'm some kind of atheist, I voted yes.

I would. This is the sort of thing dating is for. Go out, find out if the person is a religious nut or not, and act accordingly. It's really not a huge deal.

Religious beliefs are one of the most important factors in a girl to me, so I definately wouldn't ask her out if her beliefs were different from mine.

Religious beliefs are a tricky thing in a relationship, often more with the family than with the person themselves. In fact I know a guy who's getting kicked out of his parents' house because of it. He's actually coming to Toronto soon to look for a job and a place to live so he'll be staying with me for a while. I plan on confusing him with my keyboard. He'll be like "hey can I use your computer" and I'll be like "yah sure" and he'll sit down at it and be like "wtf?" and I'll be like "LOL".

I feel bad if someone avoids dating me because I have different beliefs than she does. That makes me feel like my beliefs are less valid than hers. There is great wisdom to be found in all beliefs. Therefore, all beliefs should be treated with respect, not mere tolerance. I'd be a hypocrite to discriminate against people because of their religious or philosophic beliefs, since I don't want others to do it to me.

To be fair, Free, there are some beliefs that have very little wisdom.

I would ask out girls from different religions, partly because the girls who are of my religion here are not really worth going out with. (Except one. Hmmm)

I don't, however, plan on marrying outside my religion. Though who knows!

At the very least, some beliefs are a reminder to excercise critical-thinking. ;)

I would ask. If the religious differences are too great I would lead them on, string them along until I got exactly what I wanted, and then I would dump them.

LOL, just kidding. I'm not a woman. :v:

I voted no, but it depends on the religion. Like, I'd never date a christian.

Well you really need to consider the situation carefully, as there's a lot of possibility of getting hurt in one way or another but then again there's the possibility that they might enlighten you in some-

BURNSAUCE.

I said maybe because it would depend on how devout they are. I'd probably try to turn them to the dark side of agnostic athiesm...:ninja:

Or is it light side?

I don't really fancy the idea of dating a religious person at all, but I guess compromises can be made one way or the other.

My girlfriend and I are as close to opposites when it comes to religion as possible, and it has very little effect on our relationship. She's a "Christian" and I'm not religious at all. If either one of you are religious fanatics, it really shouldn't make much of a difference. The only real concern for us is what will happen with our children, when we have them. We've decided that we'll allow them to go to a "Christian" church after a certain age (we don't want them getting the usual brainwashing at too young of an age), if they wish to attend. However, I will always be open with them regarding my beliefs. It's not so bad for us though, because she believes there's a "god" and I believe that there's at least one "creator".
2006-09-30, 6:53 AM #32
Yes, of course.

I mean there is so much to compare and so much to learn. If we confine ourselves to only dealing with likeminded people we are only isolating ourselves from the world. I think people who do that are scared to be confronted with ideas that (inevitably) make them reconsider their own beliefs.

More vailid? One belief is going to be right, and the others wrong. That is simply the way it works unless you belive that they are all wrong and just collectings of wise observations, which is, in itself a seperate belife, which makes you neccessarily guilty of what you were just ranting on.

Haha, yeah right. For one, you don't know if that is the case. That's just an assumption.

Second, how do you know which one is right? You will never be able to tell, so:

3. There's nothing to justify that train of thought, let alone behaviour that stems froms it.

I went out with someone who belonged to one of those kooky Christian religions once, I think she was Seventh Day Adventist. Anyways it was great, she didnt drink so when we went out I could get as smashed as I wanted to and she'd always drive me home.

It didnt last :(

I never got how some religious people are willing to accept that anything is possible, except for the notion of multiple truths.

Mentat, I grant you major kudos for allowing your child to decide for himself (when he's old enough) about religion. I respect anyone greatly who has the wisdom to allow it.

Obi, does it really matter if one religion is correct and the others aren't? Which religion's afterlife comes to fruition doesn't matter, nor does which religion's version of history transpired. The doctrine doesn't even really matter either, because it's just dogma. All that matters is how you treat people. And most religions offer a great deal of wisdom about that.

I HATE people who disagree with different religion marriages.

I get thist crap all the time at school. "Girls, never date or marry a guy who isn't Christian"

Pisses me off. My dad, I'm very certain, is an atheist and my mom's a devout Catholic. I'm just fine, aren't I? They're still married, I don't see the probelm.
I had a blog. It sucked.
