religion


Question Posted Thursday May 22 2008, 11:58 pm

Is it wrong not to go out with somebody because of their religion? I like this guy, but he doesn't believe in God, and it pisses me off! I don't want to force him to believe in what I believe in, but at the same time I would like somebody to have the same views as me. I'd probably even prefer to find a boyfriend in the church. Is that wrong?

It's wrong that it pisses you off. That part of it, is selfish. You are pissed because you like him and you are in conflict because you don't think you can date him. These things happen, we aren't compatible with everyone we like.

As far as dating him, it's a valid reason. The fact is, that if your religion is important to you, it's your right as a person to be with someone to whom that is important too. Later in life, this ranks about the same as not dating a guy because you want kids and he doesn't.

The one thing you need to realize, is that this is YOUR issue, not his. So he doesn't deserve to be punished or forced if you two aren't compatible. Some people don't have a problem with things like this, other people do. Relationships are supposed to make both people relatively happy, so you have to do whatever you have to do to make yourself happy.
