Would you convert to a different religion for the person you're interested in?

Jewish, Christianity, Muslim, Hindu, etc?
If you have to give up your beliefs to be with someone is that really love? I had a friend who converted to muslim and renounced her ties to the catholic church. Fast forward 5 years he decided he was gay and left her and then she didn't even know who she was because she gave up all her beliefs for a man that wasn't even being honest with himself so after he left she didn't even have her foundation of her beliefs to stand on since she changed everything for him.

Why don't people understand. It doesn't work like that. I can't accept some one if they want to convert to marry me. Why? Because I know its not true conversion from soul. One must seek and honestly accept if a religion hits their soul or not. I believe its deceiving at both ends and as far what I have seen, it never last.

No for me.

@Reflection2 Agreed!
in 1998 my dad had switched jobs to a job with a company called best consulting and anyways over the course of 1999 they ran out of assignments for him as a consultant and he was let go in spite of a promise there would always be work...

He ended up doing a lot of contract work and it took him to Phoenix, Arizona for a 6 month contract and I was left with my sibbling in Oregon for awhile but came down after about 3 months because of just how profoundly abusive jennifer was and to start the school year.

I went to a school out there and I ended up noticing this very brunette very cute girl named Laura anyways I tried to get to know her on numerous occasions and couldn't really seem to get near her and coupled with bullying by other kids I largely had to resort to getting her address in my Leaving school book they gave to me...

about 2 years later I started sending letters back and forth with her and getting to know her by snail mail letters from Where we ended up in Florida and before long we were talking on the phone and exchanging messages over social media. we were talking a lot.

And I told her she was always my crush back then and I ended up finding out she was intensely religious and mormon... She knew How strongly I felt about her and seemed to get more devoted to trying to convert me and I remember my final letter to her was like I'm sorry I just can't force myself to believe things I don't and I've realized the reason you've kept your distance from me is largely because the church won't let you marry outside your religion at this point so I guess that explains things.

I have not spoken to her sense.... So to answer your question no.

@BetweenKittensandRiots "Leaving school" book. Nice.

The first thing a religious person sees in me is the exit.
I will enter no sect, no cult, no party, for love or money.

No, if they like me theyll accept me as I am.

No sorry... that’s just ridiculous 😳🙄
I would become jewish... I like the culture. I would be a closet jew for Jesus. As a teen I had a huge crush on a jewish girl. I have had many jewish friends..I share their values...I keep kosher and the sabbath...I would not for the other religions. If there was a synagogue by me.I would go if they let me.

I'd possible look into it... though, I'd want to be more than just simply interested, before making the full conversation.

Possibly, but not Muslim. I’m not a Muslim hater but the Muslim religion is to strict for my lifestyle.

No. There are some things I could change for another person, but not deeply-held beliefs.
Jimmy2016 · 61-69, M

SW-User
I can try to convert them to atheism if they’re open to it, lol
SW-User
No because I would not get involved with someone who is religious.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
NO, nothing will ever get me to change
Pfuzylogic · M
I couldn’t just give up what I believe.
No. Respect their beliefs whatever they are.
fallnhope · 36-40, F
No, I'd be respectful of their belief though.

Role play for their satisfaction? Never!
Not unless I believed it.
