Would you change your religion for the sake of love..?

I am a Christian and will never change my faith no matter what. I will never compromise my faith in whatever situation even if that will mean losing a boyfriend. In the first place I will also not fall for a non-Christian anyway. My faith has always been my main concern so I will never ever change my faith. Never!

I don't think you really can change your religion for love. You can change religious practices for love... but how you feel deep down inside about spiritual matters cannot change unless you have the conviction to change. I am a Pagan, and my boyfriend is some sort of Neo Christian if you were to put a name to it. Lol... he has some odd ideas and I grew up in a Christian household! But, he does not demand that I stop my Pagan practices in order to be in a relationship with him. If he asked me to I could stop burning my white candle every morning and wearing my pentacle around my neck. These are just outward signs of my spiritual beliefs. But, if he were to ask me to denounce my very belief system I would not be able to do so because it is what I believe in my heart and no one can change that for me. Not even for Love.

Love should be not based on conditions. I think the boy will suffer in future. The girls father will continue to put on more conditions then what he will do. If that girl really loves her she should also support her against her father.

Hello, if I am at place of that boy I will never accept this condition. Marriage is relation in which both boy and girl accept each other with their qualities and shortcoming. Religion in a believe both boy and girls respect it.

HI Siliguri! Before we judge that boy we must see it in several aspects. I don't know about other religion, they might stay with their religion too but since I am a muslim, we muslim people only can marry people who are muslim too. If non-muslims (men/women) wants to married to the muslims (women/men) they need to convert their religion first and only then they are allowed to marry. Muslim can't convert to other religion-because of different beliefs, that is why anyone who wants to marry muslim they first need and necessary to learn about Islam first before he/she converted and think whether they could do that or not. It is not just a command but to avoid many problems arise in the future. No one loves those who do not stand firm. So he may choose and he may need to learn and doing some research is suggested.

I think it is a personal choice. I'm like you though. I would never throw away my faith for another religion. My faith is important to me. Mine's not about religiosity. Mine is about being free to exercise my beliefs.

I think this is something that the couple must decide on, not because there's a threat or certainly not because one of us would like to impress the family of the other. My partner and I are in the same situation, though there are no pressures from either side of our family when it comes to religion, I know that we need to face it soon. I am an active Roman Catholic while he isn't an active Protestant. Though he feels that his religion is better for the both of us, he understands that my religion is important to me because it keeps my family strong. I don't know yet who's going to change religion but I guess it's him this time. He knows I would submit to him but there must be a good reason why. I will not just change my religion so that he would be happy, he knows I won't change religion if he's not practicing his religion either. For now, we don't let the talk of religion tear us apart, it's something we need to talk about but not something we should start arguing about either. Therefore, if I were in that situation, I will not allow the man to change his religion because he's in front of my father. I would not be impressed. Instead, I would talk to him and ask him sincerely why he wants to change. If he really doesn't, then it's up to us to decide, not because my father wants it. Have a great MyLot experience today!

I have no religion, but I have always found it morbidly ironic that religion could ever hurt love, yet it happens all the time.

religion should not be a hindrance to love but if one decides to convert, it should be for the reason that you truly believe in the religion that you are converting to and not just to please the other family.

If you will not accept the condition, then, will you leave your love for the sake of religion? What if you always end up loving someone who is not the same as your religion, will you live the rest of your life single, lonely and broken-hearted?

Definitely I will not change my religion just to marry the person I love.Religions are based on your faith and belief.I can always change my religion, as long as I'm not force into it and after I had studied and evaluated their beliefs and principles against mine.If I think that religion has a better principles than what I have,then I can change my religion but not just because of my love for a person.

why does it matter what religion you are? why should it matter? most of them share the same values

I think it's all about respect. In my case I'm not religious, just spiritual, but I wouldn't want someone to force me to become religious just because they are, just as I would never tell that person that they'd have to stop professing their religion. I believe that if you get pushed into doing something that you wouldn't otherwise do and don't feel comfortable with, all in the name of love, problems will arise later on.

I went through something similar with my now ex-boyfriend. We'd been together for 2 years, and he knew I was an atheist, but he had been avoiding telling his mother because she was a very devoted catholic. Well, I finally got to meet her, and of course she asked about my church and my religion. Boy, didn't that make for an awkward conversation! At first she was really reluctant to have anything to do with more or allow her son to see me, but she eventually saw that I was a good person even without religion and took me in as her own. It's very sad when people are so biased and misinformed about things like religion, I personally think love has no boundaries.

Dear friend, Choosing a religion may be is an individual freedom. I feel that boy is willing to sacrifice religion for his love. I feel love is more powerful. Moreover I feel religions are human made but love is made by God. I wish them a happy married life and long lasting love....

Does "god" change because you happen to like someone who thinks differently than what God says he is?

I would never ever change my religion, my name or my nationality(ethnic belonging) for anybody's sake. These three things are mine from the day I am born with, so why should I change them for a person? And if you are not good in one religion, you will not be good in the other neither. So for me it comes out of the question.

hi, for it will still depend upon the religion if i can be part of them,but most of the time for me i would not change my religion for the sake of my love,there's no wrong when both of us is in different religion the important is we believe in one Creator.and thankful because that never happen to me until now.

The idea is funny to God, just like saying 'I can't possibly be a Catholic (Christian) because I have Atheist ideas and most recently went to mass at a Seventh Day church.' Actually, the way to Heaven involves letting go of EVERYTHING (like Jesus says, the gate is too narrow for you to make it through if you're holding onto anything!) It's not the flag you CARRY that indicates where you're going, so much as the one you FOLLOW; and the guy FOLLOWED the one that led to 'God's gift to him' rather than the one that led AWAY FROM God's gift to him. (coz you KNOW that she and he have 'declared themselves "one flesh"' )

I can't change my religion for the sake of that love. I think if a girl forcing you to change your religion for the love then its a really partial justification. The love & affection between your relationship is not only your its of your partner too. If your partner can't change that religion then why do you. You shared that a boy changed it religion Hinduism to Muslim. This is a really rubbish thing he done. If that girls can't change her religion for the sake of love then why did he changed the religion. I unable to think what happened to his parents when they got the news that their son going to change the religion. That boy is reall rubbish at its own did a great mistake anyway. God bless his thinking..
