Hello,

Until about a year ago I was a very literalist (i.e., strict) Christian, in a very strict, literalist Christian family. At the time I wouldn't have considered dating a non-Christian. Now that I am simply "theist" (I believe that there's some kind of God, but not in any one in particular) I think that dating a Christian (or a Muslim, Jew, or some other strict faith) would probably pose problems. Now I know that there are members of all faiths who have relationships with people who do not share their faith. I guess that in general I'd simply like to ask: how's that working out for you?

Elijah.

there are less "strict" members of every faith. so you just have
to decide how you want to live and how you want to raise your
kids. it is up to each couple - each family. it's ok...

I personally perfer a witchy woman.

But I wouldn't hesitate to become romantically involved with a mystic or an atheist.

I tend to shy away from women who are married to Jesus since they apparently already have a husband and I'm not into polygamy. flowerforyou

I think it's better to focus less on what the person labels their self as and more on who they are on a day to day basis. I see a lot of people call themselves Christian or Pagan or Jew, etc...but in reality they are not living the life of any of those.

So, yes, cross faith relationships can work if they have the same core values and beliefs about life and how to live it.
