I agree here.

Unlikely. I'm agnostic and 'struggle' with those that wear their religious beliefs on their sleeves.

I also agree

It depends on how passionate you mean. If you mean zealots, than no. I don't care for someone beating me about the head with it. If they integrate it into their lives and live it, yes.

They can be of different faith if compatibility can be found.

Yes

Agree 100%.....

Nope.....

A good friend was aethist...married a 7th Day Adventist....

If a guy marries a chick, he marries into her faith too....if she wants to go to church on saturday...you better believe he got to go to church too.

NO ONE HAS to do anything. If a person choose's to do something for the relationship? That is a decision of choice. Different religions can exist under one roof, as long as there is a desire & mutual respect for each other.

I agree completely Sage.

I just ain't seen it happen that way yet.

I have seen people of diverse faith get together. It is a little rare but if their ideas about faith are generous and loving and about protecting what is beautiful in the world it seems like the traditions blend.

Faith can lead people to be more forgiving and helpful. Soothing to the lonely. Accepting of someone who is different one way or another.

It is truely beautiful to see couples work tiressly to build a faith community where friendships, relationships, and families can thrive. Most celebrate with music, food, a shareing. They respect their idea of God too much to use it to beat other people up.

It pains me to see the "haters", the "shall nots", and the "should's" get lumped in with people of true faith. I often think those of faith fall amiss when they try to be so permissive and let them wear themself out or miss represent faith.

I find it is better to wait until the "world", a person, or friend needs faith enough to look past the false prophets. Then the idea is more acceptable. Then I share how my faith has kept me going through good times and some unimaginably cruel times. How faith and prayer brings me patience, understanding, trust, peace, strength, hope, even generosity, and a feeling of being loved and able to love myself when I need it most. Funny thing often just seeing it people say wow you are not like what I thought being a person of true faith is and it doesn't seem so radical, or offensive, or oppressive.



People of faith are not any less afraid, angry, selfish, competative, or scatterbrained they just accept that humans can try to be better and try to get their community to that. Yes sometimes failing but often succeeding.

Not always true.

I am passionate about my faith and spiritual beliefs and I have no interest in converting anyone. In fact, there have been guys I've dated over the years that wanted to go to Mass with me and I said no. Because its a very personal experience for me. It's my alone time with God. I might feel differently if the guy was Catholic and wanted to go for himself. Maybe.

To me, seems we forgot to teach the young the art of compromise.
So many have to have things "their way, or NO way." Hard lesson to learn, ALL of life is a compromise, if you want any peace & contentment.

Yea that is me too. I very rarely invite anyone to church. Didn't force my kids to go and never made my mate go if he wasn't feeling it. I say I am going and they see how it refreshes me. It is a choice I don't push on anyone. I have never have put anyone on the spot to give money to the church. I tithe but if someone else doesn't it is no big deal.

Yep. Someone can be passionate about their faith without feeling the need to have others agree.

In a word, NO.

Because I find most of them, not all but most, intolerant, and
intolerable.

I would not have a problem with someone being religious, as long as they didn't push their beliefs on me. However, if they were so passionate about it that it was more important than everything else in their life, no. I am not religious and I do not go to church, so we would not be a good match.

I've seen marriages where the woman goes to church but the man doesn't (or vice versa). Doesn't mean that the one who doesn't go doesn't believe in God. Just mean they choose not to go to church.

For me, I have dated women who believed differently than I, and there was always that understanding of respecting each others beliefs. I don't want to force anyone to do anything, and I expect the same in return.

Yea that holds to my experience with my mate. His idea of worship/prayer was extream solitude and silence most times. Sure it reflected some of his upbringing in the Phillippeans. Occassionally he would write prayers in a journal that he would share but his worship actually helped me see another way to pray so I think things rub off in mixed faith relationships.

being passionate means that she has to be submissive, obedience, and quiet ....so far it's looking good

you don't have to worry about her trying to convert you...because she is not allowed to preach religion but to only ask religious questions in the form of guidance from the man ....so far it's getting better

if she is passionate about being a pagan then the man gets to watch her strip and perform the "Nude Moon-Dancing Ritual" which doesn't seem like a bad thing as long as she doesn't turn you into The Wicker Man and set you on fire ouc ouc ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and let's not forget that she is commanded to love you ....what more can a guy ask for

which is why when it comes to being with someone passionate about their religion pertaining to women ...besides that Wicker Man thing I see more perks than poop

I wouldn't either but that is because I am an atheist.
