That to me is awful Religion is something I'll never really understand. Sure its nice to think there is some benevolent creator up above who loves you and will be there in the after life. But to let it control your life in such a way? That's a big no from me. Like you, I think that's awful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that anyone should be forced into joining anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bundy Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 If I was a religious person then no, however I am not so if the woman i loved wanted me to become religious to make her happy then I would probably think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd question the commitment to the relationship - not to mention giving the woman a huge side-eye in general - if she's willing to leave it on such a pretext. Big honking great red flag right there. She's likely doing him a favour. Run. Run fast and run far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me is awful If you're of the one God or Abrahamic religion it's feasible I suppose it's only the rituals that change and the book followed, I have a very good friend who is a witness, he's never tried to convert me and is extremely unhappy about some marriages breaking up because of his faith, he thinks it unnecessary, he accepts people as they are, but feels it his mission to enlighten others into his faith. I lost my faith years ago, I would feel hippocritical playing along for a relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisispoint Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The jokes years ago were why did Jesus die on the cross, there wasn't a house on hackenthorpe, and there are no Jehovah's witnesses on the Wybourn only Jehovah's bystanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I’m not religious and I don’t think I would convert to any religion it just wouldn’t feel right for me especially if I didn’t believe in it, what would be the point. When someone is deeply religious and trying to persuade their partner to convert to the same religion perhaps they are trying to save their soul for the afterlife so they can be with them eternally, and to prevent them being punished on the day of reckoning and sent to hell. However If someone has been in an unhappy marriage for many years they might prefer going to hell than an afterlife with their partner. It’s a funny thing religion, there are times when I am jealous of my religious friends and family because they do cope with death and life’s problems far better than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I have a great deal of respect for many people that have faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
