Will you change your religion because of your boyfriend or girlfriend?!

No. He should be the one who needs to do that if he really loves me. If he can't, then I'll consider it a bad sign. I'll no longer continue my relationship with him. I'll not let myself suffer just because of him. If he can't leave his religion and join mine, what else can he do for me? I think there's nothing he can do.

Since all religions are based on myth and legend with no presence in the real world except how people react to them then it is okay to follow whatever religion you wish provided in doing so you do not harm anyone. When I say harm I do not include upsetting some else's illusions I mean such things as becoming a muslim then killing people because they are not or becoming a catholic and killing protestants.

I think everyone should have their freedom in choosing the religion. I think one should not force a person to chose a religion especially among the lovers or among a husband and a wife. I think if a person really loves and cares for his partner he or she would not force the person to change the religion.

To answer your title: "Why would I?" I mean, "who are they to get to me to let go of what I believe in?" As for my opinion, there really isn't anything wrong with changing one's religion as long as one feels "at home" where one is. In other words, I do not see it a "wrong" if one just decides to go where one believes something is true and is right. What's wrong with doing what you feel is right? But if one transfers religion just for a pitiful excuse or reasons like "because of him" or "because of her", I think we're going to have a debate in the making. I'm sorry but for me the action, with such a reason, is the same as insulting the religion where one came from and where that one will go to because one do not see the following religions as Holy and is worthy of respect...That's only in my opinion...

That's a metter of one's own will I would say. I'm in a situation where my boyfriend is muslim and I'm christian, he too asked me to convert and I always said I'm not sure, I just don't feel completely right changing it, but as far as I know isnt is a mandatory for one to change religion if two want to marry, like in any religion they have to have the same religion? so maybe if love is so strong, maybe then one could decide to convert, to give this final meaning to your relatinship, which is marriage.

I believe that my religion is the true religion which God choose it to people ,for this is not to I change it to any one regardless of his value in my life, my religion remains for me, but the man could leave me .

I see no harm in wanting to find out about other religions because you know someone who is a member of that religion. What she is doing, in fact, is probably more about trying to understand and know more about someone she is fond of. I wonder if she encourages her Mormon friend to attend Catholic meetings, especially Bible discussion groups. That would show that he is as interested in her as she is in him.

I'm religion neutral so it won't be hard for me to embrace one.Well,it depends on the teachings.Religion is just a belief system.Why would you let anything get in the way of love if it's true love?

Personally I would not change my religion for my partner and never did for my girlfriends either. As such I don't have a religion but practice Zenm which is a a way of life that involves regular meditation and mindfulness. I do no follow rules and regulations, but follow my conscience about doing no harm to another human being. I would also never expect a loved one to change their religion either as I think we are all at different levels of spirituality and have to discover truth for ourselves. It all leads to the same space of enlightenment anyway, it's just that we each tend to see things differently. _Derek

i think that if a person want change the religion is because they feel important for him/her in private life not because somebody tells that you should change or because you married a person believing in other religion...

If love compels someone to change his or her religion he or she can do that. But I feel there should not be any bar of religion to marry someone who is beloved. A man and woman can be life partner with different religion.

Hmmm.. if you are changing for someone else, i do not think that is good thing. But if she is changing for herself then it is good. Personally, i would not change my religion for the sake of another person, if ever i would change, it would be for my own personal reasons.

This was Ms. Universe question to Shamcey Supsup. If I were to ask at first I would like to know their beliefs then compare it to my recent religion. If I found out that they have more strong good moral values and I was motivated then that is the time for me to think twice if I would change or not. Second honestly I have frustrations at times in Catholic especially the people around it. So I would be also concern on how other people value that religious aspect. I would change it not because of the person I love but because I was more motivated on their beliefs. In your niece's case then I think she was motivated by the religion itself not because of her boyfriend.

I think that religion has any role in the relations. People worship in different goddess for their sake and no one has any right to change or force him to change his religion.

I don't think that I would ever want to change my religion for anybody, let alone somebody who is supposed to love me the way I am, and no matter what. My boyfriend is not the same religion as me, but I know that he will accept me as I am and would never ask for me to change. If you were sure about your religion and the God that you believed in, surely you wouldn't want to change it to something that you didn't think was the truth. Surely if you change your religion at all, it could be argued that you weren't all that religious in the first place.

Hello Lhenni, Religion should be a personal devoted choice and not because the one you love is there.but i know from a person i used to work with changed her religion because of her boyfriend i think they are now married.

Based on the fact that I grew up in a family that was very religious, I could not ever see myself changing religions. However, if I didn't grow up in a family that had a firm set of beliefs, then changing religions so that I was able to share my faith with my future spouse would be something that I might be willing to do. When I met the man that is now my husband, he came from a family that didn't have a firm set of beliefs and he decided to explore my religion (I'm a Roman Catholic). After attending RCIA classes he did decide to become a Catholic.

sometimes we learn from each other. I would suggest to pray about it and seek for truth and go from their and ask questions , ask God to lead you that is the most important. ask in Jesus name for all things given unto him and ask not in a form of prayer but as if you are direct talking to another but to Him tell him your question and get your answer you will know. I would not change anything unless you took it God first. for what man puts together does not last what God does last for ever. who knows God may move you totally into a differant area to better serve Him and it may not be either the one you have now nor the other talked about...

That depends on what the religion teaches. If I am not mistaken, mormon's allow their members to marry twice,maybe thrice and so forth (not sure about this) If this is the case, I will never change my religion. Maybe my religion is not the true religion, but joining a religion that allows bigamy is even far from the truth.

Why somebody has to change a religion for love? God exist in any religion so why anyone who loves each other can't just stick to what they believe? I see so many couples who stay forever even though they have different faith, so why bother to change? Convert to other religion is ok but not because of a human love but finding the truth he/she learn in their heart.
