LOVE vs/and RELIGION

[DebutsAndIDos]

---

Wars have been fought over a difference of religion...

And people in this age and time actually still believe a difference of religion will not matter in a relationship?

How naive!Â*

If this means a lot to her, and she means a lot to you, then why dont you give her religion a chance? Listen to what her religion is about, take down points and think about it. If you really feel that you still have an issue with it, then you can list out point by point what you are against and why you cannot convert. But, at least, she should appreciate that you gave her a chance.

In the end, the issue is this: Your girlfriend obviously feels strongly about her religion. Whereas you have already said you dont feel strongly about your religion. If she is willing to break up with you about this, are you also willing to break up with her about this?

If you are, then go ahead, don't convert, break up. It's not love, someone else will come along who is better suited to you.

Keep us posted on what happens, okay? Peace!

Nice advice.

It will not matter if you will not force the issue or think about it that it will destroy the relationship. Don't mix relationship with religion coz if you did it will surely destroy. We have different practice and belief regarding religion, if both of you belong to different religion just respect each other point of views and belief regarding religion. There are other relationship survive regardless of religion.

do not forsake your faith just because of love for another being..it's just like you are turning your back on the God you believe in

first off, let's not start a religion debate and just let others speak their peace.

my 2 centavos: religion is a very sensitive topic especially to the devoted. personally, i will only answer to one Head Honcho who oversees everything that happens regardless of what a certain religion calls Him. i would not mind converting simply because i will still answer to the Head Honcho.

@otis, i go directly to the point and i have a hint ngano gus2 imo girlfriend nga i-convert ka into Born Again Christian. First: Sa cgi attend sa imo girlfriend sa fellowship sa Born Again Christian (or maybe converted into Born Again na siya) na influence siya sa sermon sa iya Pastor which is importante jud nga same religion mo or beliefs wen it comes to religion pra dli mo mag-away Second: Maybe na influence siya in one of the verse sa Bible which says "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers" meaning with other beliefs.

But i myself as a Born Again Christian disagree to mix up religion and love. Bisag unsa pa ang religion ninyo duha basta love lang ninyo ang usa-usa og ni respect mo each other no need to convert pa pra same religion mo. Just follow your heart. Love conquers all.

i think love goes beyond religion.whatever religion you may have, it only teaches to love.
if had fallen in love with a gurl with different religion. I'd respect whatever she believe as long as she respect mine.I'd love her for who she is and for what she believes in.

walay pugsanay.if love gyud ka niya maka sabot ra sad siya na dili ka ganahan.buwagi na oi.daghan pa mga babay dinhi sa kalibutan.demanding ra sad na kaayo dah.

I may not know exactly what your girl's purpose of having you in her church but ani man ni siya. Importante sa imo girl nga naa mo relationship sa Ginoo like what she have with God. Religion is not importante anymore(as far as I know) for most Protestants as long as you have relationship with God. Nakita man gud nya nga mas motubo ka spiritually kng mo attend ka sa ila simba kay full pack man gud teaching about sa Ginoo ang ila. I can say that coz nakasulay man gud ko. I exactly can relate to you coz my girlfriend is a Protestant. Yes love is the most important thing between you guys but having you listen to her chuch service's messages is one way of showing her love to you. Christianity man gud is a lifestyle. It's not a religion. Catholicism, buddhism, etc.., they are relgiions but it doesnt matter what religion you have as long as you have an intimate relationship with God. Bro, ayaw pa convert tungod lang nya. Why not check out what's she's trying to introduce to you first then decide later. I'm pretty sure di ka magmahay. Take it from me. I'm happy not because we got to the same church, but because I get to experience her happiness as well. Stay as catholic as long as you want, perhaps a lifetime, but try checking out what she's trying to tell you.

Just be open minded. No one can say best than an open minded person.

@Luthienne, pila imo nailHan nahitabo diay ing-ana na situation? IF ang RC wala problema pakasal sa protestant, then I would have married my long time GF of 7 years. Her mother forced us to break up because of our religion. Case to case basis of misguided persons.

ah.. basin sad. case to case basis gyud. sa ako lang nasulayan, i know a couple of people man gud nga born again kay i have cousins nga born again. unya usahay magkatipo mag hisgot dayun bahin ug crush (hehe). mo ingon nga ilang lalake nga ganahan sayang kay dili lang christian. christian baya gihapon na ang Catholic. they talk as if they're the only christians and that's what i don't understand. i don't take offense, though. wa lang ko kasabot.

Nice advice direct to the point. For me lng, i may not call it protestant but instead Born Again Christian. But just one question, Wat ur religion now?
