 I don't believe in heaven or hell. To me, there just story book ideas invented long ago to bring fear to people and instill morals. That's me though. Of course, personally, i don't think I would enjoy being in a relationship where my partner is of an opposite stance on religion. As unfortunate and shallow as it may sound, even having a common taste in music is a prerequisite for me.

So what does the rest of Datehookup think?

Post it!! Let's hear it people.

 Hi Motown,

Well, I think there is basically an ENTIRE SECTION here on datehookup devoted to religion where a lot of bickering goes back and forth with no resolution. I used to post there, but gave up as it was just not encouraging, and futile seeing the same arguments, spun but using different topics and one side having their opinions while the other has theirs without any resolution or a whole lot of understanding.

I imagine that can happen in relationships too.

I became a believer in Jesus about three years into my marriage and my husband was not. I was still nuts about him, however it caused some distance between us (not intentially, though). On my end it wasn't what broke up the relationship.

I have dated men that do not believe as I do. And while I like a couple of them, one so very much in particular (he passed away), I am not sure that in the long run it would have been good. For me once I became a believer there was no going back. I have had periods of not following as closely, as do I others, perhaps, but I tend to always drift back because my beliefs are deep in my heart.

So, I would agree to try and find like-minded individuals for a meaningful, lasting relationship.

And MUSIC! I LOVE music and love to dance. Any potential partner would have to love music. I like quite a variety. Plus he would not have to love to dance, but like that I do. mmm dancing for someone is fun too. *smile*

Good topic.

 If you feel it's very important for someone to share your religious beliefs, then it might be better for you to only date people who share your beliefs, rather than trying to force your beliefs on someone.

Most of us don't want someone to change us. We're not babies!

 I am personally religeous, but it wouldnt be a requirement for
me, for her to be of like faith, or to have faith at all. I wouldnt
even push, or bring it up to them after knowing what their beliefs were...
To each their own...

 You need to go to the Religion Forum... That is what I think.

And, You can believe what ever you want, just like I can, and do.
I also think you want to start problems here . JMO





Have a nice day Dh'ers.

 I don't think that this has to be in the Religion forum, it does apply to dating as well.

There was a thread along these lines a couple of days ago, so I'm just going to paste my reply to that one here as it still applies.

Personally, I don't believe in religion at all and do not subscribe to one. I do believe in God, just not that God has to be attached to some specific religion.

My ex is Catholic, however, was not (and still is not) practicing. When we discussed marriage, obviously it wasn't going to be at his church because I was not willing to become Catholic. We were not married in a church at all and chose to be married on a schooner. We chose a minister that was a friend to my exes family for years that agreed to the kind of ceremony we wanted. Prior to the marriage we discussed children and how they would be raised. We agreed that there would be no "religion" for our child(ren) and that they could choose thier own if they so desired at some point in thier life.

My son has been taught about God and religion and is quite spiritual. At this point (nearly 13 years old) he has not attached himself to any religion and I doubt he ever will, but he also believes in God and what God stands for.

As to your original question, I would not let a person's faith keep me from a perfect match. However, if that person were insistent on my converting to their religion (or any other), they would not BE the perfect match for me. Accept me for my beliefs and I will accept you for yours. To me, these things should be known and discussed long before any kind of long-term relationship happens.

 doesn't matter unless you are looking specifically for longterm, then it would come up.
if you are the kind that practice religious tolerance... then it should never be an issue.

I think your thread asking who you thought was hot, rude, creative
was worse than anything that has been put in this thread,
except this post of yours here, that really was off topic!

 I agree with the person who said it's probably only important if you're looking to be long term.

 I think that it depends on how important it is to the people in the relationship. Face it, if you're a pastor, odds are, you will want your significant other to agree with you on that - it is such a large aspect of your life. It's funny, though, I am a fairly spiritual/deep person, and have been religious all my life. Lately, though, I've kindof become unsure about organized religion, and haven't decided either way if I support or don't support it. But funnily enough, despite this, I am drawn into relationships with people who are not religious or different religions more often that I am to people who ARE religious, or of my religion. It doesn't cause many problems for me. I think I have a great respect for all religions that I have come into contact with, and what someone "is" doesn't have to be important to me in a relationship. I do see, however, why it is so important to many others.

 I think it depends on your own beliefs.

I have never found a clear answer on this but is it the same religion we seek in a potential date or is it the same values and morals?

 All depends on the couple involved. I work with a fella who went the Jehovah Witness way, yet his wife stayed "neutrally non-religious" and they've been together over 25 years. To each their own.
