With gay marriage soon becoming a reality. I have to ask the question.
Would you convert to a different religion for someone you love?

Please explain why you would. Or why you would not.

This poll is for everyone on jub. Gay, Str8 etc.

Discuss......
 
I wouldn't, I believe in what I believe and if my guy believes something else thats his right.

I would never ask someone to change their religion for me so I don't expect them to ask me
 
I'm not religious, just somewhat spiritual so I don't see the point. If I loved someone and they wanted it I would discuss or consider it, but I don't see the point.
 
Of course not. I might go to a worship service / ceremony for someone I loved if he wanted, though. But only bi-annually at most, and that's provided the service isn't too objectionable.
 
If I loved a guy and he weren't some crazy,psychopathic jerk-wad who steals my money or sour patch kids, his religion would not matter to me. I don't have a religion, but if he has faith in something, then I'll respect that. Converting because it'll make him happy or whatever wouldn't be great. I would not be doing any good if I didn't really believe in the faith I'd be practicing.
 
If he was a billionaire and he wanted me to convert to Satanism I would prick my own finger to sign the pact in blood.:p
 
Gotta agree with the poster above - I would NEVER get involved with someone who is religious, goes to church.

I'm an atheist and could only be involved with another atheist.

That said, I'm not the type to go around and try to convince others that they shouldn't believe. But that goes two ways, so don't come preaching to me why I should believe. To each his own.
 
Nope....
I would continue to worship as I see fit, and he could worship (presuming he has religious beliefs) his way.
If he is curious, he is always welcome to come to mass with me. I would hope that I could attend his services if I were curious too....
I enjoy seeing how other faiths worship.....
 
It would be mendacious of me to falsify any adherence to a religion I did not genuinely espouse, and unfair of hypothetical-him to incite me to do so.

I respect he who embraces religion, and expect the same courtesy for my choosing not to.

I attended church a number of times with my ex-girlfriend and her family. Going in with an open mind, each time turned out to be a reasonably enjoyable experience, and it was an important part of her, and her family's, lives. It was the weekly union of a community; singing, smiling, interacting, and sharing joy.

Though personally, I favour the celebration of life itself, rather than the celebration and reverence of 'He who created it'. Each to his own.
 
no, if someone expects me to join their religion in order to prove that i love them, then they don't love me to begin with. they should love me regardless of what i believe in. i'm an atheist so... if my lover expects me to turn religious for them, then i'm going to have to drop them.
 
Voted yes because religion doesn't matter to me and isn't important.....but if it is for the person I love then whats the harm really. (there are limits of course)

Of course if a religious person came on here and said they would only date within their religion, they'd be accused of being close minded and prejudiced.
 
Since I'm not religious, why not? Although I think people mostly do it to make the other person's family happy, I don't think gay couples would face this problem.

Of course that's simply not true, and you're probably aware of that.

I had the same thought while reading a few posts in this thread. I considered pointing it out but then I realized it's not worth the effort of going back and forth on the topic.

Being close-minded is a human condition (there are many), and it seems that everyone suffers from it in their own way. You would think that because as people we experience many of the same things that we would be more understanding, but it's clearly not that simple.

People are not good at being understanding, and even when they are, they're not very good at putting others before themselves.

Actually I know it's very true. And I'm well aware you disagree with what I have said, but so far you haven't convinced me otherwise.

And I probably won't. But I find it difficult to believe that every religious belief that has ever existed in the history of humanity has been based entirely around the concept of close-mindedness and prejudice. Heck, there are religions ENTIRELY devoted to the concepts of inclusiveness and acceptance that exist today.

Broad, oversweeping statements like "Religion is about being close-minded and prejudiced" are totally silly. That's like saying "Being gay is about having sex with men as often as possible." For some people, perhaps, but not for everyone.
 
GiancarloC said:
Actually there are not silly and there are no religions about inclusiveness or acceptance... anyways this isn't the thread for it. This thread was simply a poll. I wasn't the one who wanted to start a huge argument about a simple poll asking if people would convert religions for someone they were dating.

And your comparison was downright ludicrous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahá'í_Faith_and_the_unity_of_religion

the unity of humanity is one of the central teachings of the Bahá'í Faith.[1] The Bahá'í teachings state that since all humans have been created in the image of God, God does not make any distinction between people regardless of race or colour.[2] Thus, because all humans have been created equal, they all require equal opportunities and treatment.[1] Thus the Bahá'í view promotes the unity of humanity, and that people's vision should be world-embracing and that people should love the whole world rather than just their nation.

My point is that if one were to be part of a religion which had central creeds of acceptance and unity, it would be unnecessary to convert for your partner. And I would never have a partner that did not believe in unity or acceptance; that is, if he felt that he was better than other people for his religious beliefs, I would never date him.

It has nothing to do with what religion he his or what his specific beliefs are, only that he not WANT me to convert. In fact, I'd be more likely to convert of my own accord than if he were to ask me, but that's just me.
