Love Vs Religion
The title says it all huh...
Well here is the casestudy, i got a friend SB who recently got together with a guy MD. SB is a staunch christian and no, she does not bug pple to join her church or like keep saying her religion is the best, what i meant by staunch is that she firmly believes in the teachings of her religion and her faith in it is 100%, i tink she is at the point whereby u slap on one side of her face, she will give you the other to slap on. So the problem is that, MD is not a christian, a free thinker instead...and SB would not wish to marry a non christian and hence for now it looks like MD has to become a christian so that they can get married happily..if not it would be really tough on both of them to work out the issues on religion...and besides she has the vision of serving God with her partner in the future...which mean that they can work towards God's glory.
So guys, do you all really think that religion is that impt to influence how ur relationship turn out to be or even who you choose to love ?
For me, I don't really care where you pray, I am more concerned with what you pray or the values that you believe in and I don't think I would change to another religion so that a relationship would work out and I would mind if my partner requires me to change my religion in order for the relationship to work out. (No one can make me change my passion,faith,belief in and for MANCHESTER UNITED, but I must say: FLETCHER SUCKS)
For you SB:God created love and religion is something we created for God. So if you believe in God, maybe love can change everything..even you.
So gimme ur views and for those who just read my post and dun comment..pls do me a favour let me know what you feel about this.
P.S: SB is not insisting that MD change religion now...she is just worried that things might nt workout in the long term cos of the religion issue.
(I better be safe)
Disclaimer:I have nothing against any religion and I always believes in: "world peace !" enhanced with a *miss world pageant smile*...

If my partner insists I convert to her religion for the relationship to continue, I will say "BALLS TO YOU." I believe love between two does not encompass religion. The other can try to introduce the religion to me, but ultimately, it is for me to make the choice. If I should convert, it should not be to save my relationship.
This is just the tip of what I have to say abt this topic. But it sums up my STRONG stand on it.
I am not saying there is no religion in a relationship. There will definately be issues concerning religion, but it shld not take precedence of the love between two person and should NOT affect any outcome of actions taken in the course of relationship. It will work if they want it to work, letting religion get into the way means the relationship was never meant to be. The person is better off going for match making services done by their respective religion.
I going to say something very touchy, if u dun like it then delete it...what you say comes very close to ethinic cleansing. Breeding a whole class pure race.
well i think if it's a person's belief then we should all respect and try to understand it. n on ryan's comment abt eternity in heaven, i think that's what SB wants. if you believe in love u want it to last for eternity right? so i think it's legitimate for her to feel this way.
