Angel you are toooooo funny!

"Being friends is one thing, you can respectfully disagree and go about
your business... MARRIAGE??? Where you gonna go when you disagree? To
the living room???

I'm not funny!!! I'm serious!!! It's hard work!!! and I dated a Muslim.
He didn't eat pork and I eats most parts of the pig!!! He didn't even
eat Jello!!! I knew right then... wasn't going to work! And how can a
family pray together if they're praying to two separate folks??? Again,
I go to... why confuse the kids???

well not to offend anyone i would never date a muslim, agnostic or
atheist. I'll be a good friend but that's about it..

I'd date a pineapple if it treated me right.

Yeah, but I had to learn that the hard way!!! We were just friends and
religion was never an issue... but then we went on a date, and I ordered
ribs, as i ALWAYS do... and he flipped out... so i ordered chicken. But
I didn't want chicken. Then a few days later I made jello, and he
flipped out again!!! So i threw it out... but I wanted the jello. And
I figured, could I raise my children in a jello-less house? In a house
with out the wiggly stars and stuff??? Nope... so we broke up... and
now we're not friends anymore. We broke up over jello... now I feel
selfish... but not really

cute...mom!!! hilarious!!! But I feel ya! At this point those prickly
fruits look pretty inviting!

over jello! You make me laugh to tears

Cute I'd date a chocolate cake then TEAR IT UP AFTERWARDS!

I like jello...

you're so crazy

Jello rocks and so do baby backs..I'd have dumped him too red.Noone
tells me what to eat..

lol

"Bacon tastes good. Porkchops taste good."

At least I know I'm not the only one!!!

My son LOVES bacon. One day my ex and I were talking about how much he
loves bacon (it actually boarders on obcession) and we agreed that we
would never have to worry about him converting to Islam.

I can't give up the swine... I tried and I think I'm addicted... as a
matter of a fact, on the night I went into labor it was bbq pork
induced!!!

I'm hungry..

have you ever been hungry but not starving but hungry lol
?

I'm going to tip toe out and barge back in tomorrow!!! Nite!!!

night..i got homework for my summer course

I could so see myself with a very faith filled partner. I can just see
her coming in from 'whatever' religious function, and me greeting her
with a meal or refreshment and a big smile, and asking "so how did it
all go today?" "did so & so have the baby yet?" "would you like to
invite the smiths for dinner?"

Imagine, a whole other person, with a whole life of their own, who comes
home to you. Home, a place of love and safety, and a whole other person
to share their day, their life with.

Of course, I do have an opinion, that the best matches include a mutual
level of intellectualism. For example, I could NEVER be partnered with
someone whose ONLY reading material consisted of the Bible and like
literature.

So I can see why some, might think that staying within one's religion is
a better option.

Not sure if Reds post is a stab or not... so I'll take it as not. But
Red, I agree with you on one sense, there are ways to make it work if
they are faith filled, and not necessarily 'christian'. But there comes
a point where it's not just about having an intellectual conversation or
blending on an intellectual level. It's more to it than a melting of
the minds. Two spirits cannot come together if they are not agreeable
spirits. How could I believing in God have a SPIRITUAL covenant with
someone who does not? And to me that's what marriage is... it's not
just cohabitating w/ someone for life. That's what friends, college,
and roommates are for. And no, the Bible is not my only source of
literature, or 'books like it'. But I do use the Bible as a handbook if
you will, not for entertainment. But if we had like beliefs, such as
Christians and Catholics do, I'm sure it could work out. But when it
boils down to it, I like pork... (And forgive me for trying to keep it
light... I'm just tired of arguing and wanted to approace the subject
from a more comical angle)

Okay, in this situation I am kind of a hypocrite.

When I was looking to get married, I would not even consider someone out
of my faith (even if they agreed to raise the children in my faith since
religion comes from the Mother).

However, now that I know I am not having any more children, I might
consider it. I know it would take more work than I could imagine and my
household would still be a Jewish household.

It is easier as many have said to stay within your own faith. Less
explaining to do all around. And marriage is hard work, so why make it
harder than it has to be?
