Similar religious beliefs

If I met a woman that was spiritually where I am, I think we'd carve each other up in the first few minutes.

As long as she's not a zealot or a fanatic I could care less what her religious beliefs are. And even more importantly, as long as her beliefs don't preclude sex.

i dont really belong to a religon so i dont really mind but id go along with his

My wife is agnostic and I'm an athiest. We struggle with which religion to not bring the children up in.

This is more important to me as I'm older, for the person I would look to have a long term relationship with anyway. Being Catholic is important to me, although having strong faith in another religion may work out. I feel that a strong relationship with God would help her and myself get through tough times and raise children with a belief system as well.

I don't think its a dead set requirement and I've known a few couples of differing religious beliefs who make it work. For me, similar beliefs help, but it won't make or break anything because I tend not to get bent so much when people differ with me in this area... UPDATE: I'd like to meet a nice Jedi someday...

very important im a strong christian baptist

I am a bible believing Christian but I do not go to church as I'm not into traditions; I'm into God and Christ Jesus.

I'm not religious. Dont force your church crap on me

I'm never discuss religious beliefs with a prospective love interest...why spoil a good date by bringing God into the picture?

I was raised with the Church of Christ... but open to others... as long as they believe in God n Jesus... we're good. I don't go to church now days, and I don't see that as a bad thing.

not realy

pretty impotrant becasue thats always a good thing to knwo about

IT IS NOT IMPORTANT AS LONG AS G/F RESPECTS MY BELIEFS AS MUCH AS I WOULD RESPECT HERS, WE CAN CO-EXIST HARMONIOUSLY.

different is good

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! I might not have the same interests as her when it comes to jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, but she must be a believer. The Bible specifically talks about how we are not to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever or how can two walk together except they be one. The point is she has to believe the same way I do else that is just not happening.

i am spiritual non denominational so very important

Not that big of an issue as long as they do not try to push their beliefs or whatever on me.

not very but kinda

I have no doubt my unique perspective is odd to all...I'll tolerate whatever she drags in.

as long as he is not prejudice i don mind

that would be nice yea... according to my religion that is the only kind of person i should date but im kinda putting that all aside cuz it sucks so wutever.... so for the moment fuck it i dont care, let 'em be a satanist who shoots jews i dont give a crap.

IT WOULD BE NICE! BUT MY HUSBAND AND I DON'T HAVE THE SAME RLIGION BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO GO TO HEAVEN WITH ME WHEN WE ARE 120HUMAN YEARS OLD!

i follow my own religion for the most part so its not a big deal for me

Like I said I don't really care. I want it to be that we both respect each others views on life, also if it gets to the point where it starts to become a huge deal then screw that!!

Or lack of ;)

dont matter

Ultimately, it always boils down to beliefs and I have strong beliefs. Although we may be compatible at first, it seems 9 out of 10, the reason we break up is different religious beliefs. Beliefs manifest in different ways; such as thoughts of monogamy, family, morals, etc... If our core beliefs aren't compatible, the relationship's days are numbered.

it Would be better if both have same beliefs and traditions

it is not an issue at all.

Its somewhat important. I repsect other people's religion. As long as they are not satanists or muslim extremists or something.

Yes but you can ussually work things out, if you truley love each other.

not that important but a little

"Equally yolked"!

Not an issue for me. I'm an agnostic, and I don't really care what religion my girlfriend follows, or if she follows no religion at all. Just don't preach to me; that's all I ask. If I want to go to church, there are at least a half dozen churches in every single township, village, and city.

it does help, if say a jew and a catholic were to get together....... well....... think about it

not my exact beliefs but they have to believe in god

this helps if you plan to have kids together--to decide how to raise them....or if you are overly spiritual or religious...BUt i don't think it matters if you just plan to spend your life here on earth together and then wherever you go in the "after" life--is another story--and personaly for each individual...

that is very good if they do

pretty important i mean if u really wanna have a future wit this person it would make it alot easier to have a family where theres only one belief

If I use the right to explain to others my beliefs, or lack thereof, I'd want my partner to be able to do likewise. Just don't try and shove propaganda down my windpipe, cause I'll shove a copy of Mao's Little Red Book down yours.

I am a Christian and I have friends who are not Christians but to be honest my closest friends are Christians because it is only natural for like faiths to bond. It is the same way with marriage in fact the Word of God warns us not to unite any other way (in marriage). If a Christian and a non-Christian married, it may be fine for a while but when children come into the picture problems will arise, this you can count on.

It is important to me to keep company of those that live parallel lives in terms of religious beliefs,but that does not free me from the obligation of giving respect,charity,aid,courtesy and love if need be to those outside my fold,hospitality is equally shown to everybody that enters under my roof.

This is not as important as I once might have thought. I have very good friends of differing faith and have no problem with any of them. If people respect each other this shouldn't matter.

i really don't care what religion my friends are with the exception of satanism or one that is in favor of human sacrifices.

Not important at all.

None of my friends have the same religious beliefs as me, and we are still friends, so it's not that important to me. As long as they don't try to force their beliefs on me, then we are all fine.

I'm not religious at all; most of my friends aren't, but I have a good deal of friends who do have very strong religious convictions. They share with me their beliefs, but they don't pressure me into that religion, and we respect each other's beliefs. It's great to hear different viewpoints on topics like religion, and you can learn a lot from someone who is brought up differently than yourself. It's great to talk to people with similar beliefs as yourself, but it's equally, if not more so, enriching to see the world through a different viewpoint.

Im non religious so I dont really care what religion thier from. I'm friends with people from many different places and beliefs.

I consider myself a christian, however I would have no problems being friends with a person who has a different religion or not religious at all.I guess if I had a friend who had different beliefs than I did than, I would just say not to make it an issue. We all have a right to our religious beliefs. I think the only time I would consider it a problem is if they insisted that I only see their religious views.
