Your relationship with God are between you and the higher power you believe in. Converting to please another "human being" wouldn't be putting the spirtual relationship as a priority but the earthly one. No One can make you convert. In the end you will not stick with it. Do what makes you happy and what your conscience can deal with.

If you love her and she loves you.. her being all "churchy" and you not being like that.. won't make a difference..  as long as you are not making fun of her for what she believes..  and shes  not pressuring you to go to church.

No, it does not change Christianity at all. \nIn fact, it re-affirms the message of the Gospel.\nAll men are sinners; \nJesus died for the sins of all; \nforgiveness is available to all who believe.\n\nPraying for Ted and his family....

i dont think it depends on the religion, but rather the person and the level of intimacy and love in the relationship.

If someone asks you to marry them, you had better be in love before you accept. And if you Do love this person, and that person loves you, you have no need to change each other. You accept each other for who, and what, you are.  Now, after you marry, either of you might change  in some ways that might cause  discomfort in a relationship. And that needs to be worked out. But don't try to force change on each other, It will not work.

If you think your religious differences might be handled and you will be able to respect eachothers beliefs while you are together, you should be with him. Religious differences are often too important for a relatioship to  work, but if you are able to do it, don't let religion ruin the love of your life. And about your parents, I know it is hard, but you can not live your live always as your parents would like you to live it. If you are ready to marry, you are also ready to make decissions without your parents aproval. Be strong and defend what you decide. They will probably understand it with time, and if not, the problem will be theirs, not yours.\nGOOD LUCK

No boyfriend/girlfriend is worth changing your religion for unless his/her religion is correct. \n\nHow do you know if his religion is correct? \n\nWell, if Universalists are right, than all religions are right. However, I fail to see how Christianity, Judaism, and Islam can all be right if they all say that the other two are wrong. \n\nIf Atheists are right, it doesn't matter anyway. You can worship whoever you want, because we're all going to the same place anyway. Might as well enjoy life while we have it. However, I believe Atheists are wrong for too many reasons to list. If you really want more info on that you might want to read "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek. But your question was not about Atheism. \n\nAs far as Judaism is concerned, I really think it is incorrect. The Jewish people (who are often wonderful people) are still waiting for the messiah. I believe the messiah has already come. Jesus of Nazereth claimed to be the messiah and predicted his own death and resurrection. Eyewitnesses were killed when all they had to do to save their lives is say that Jesus didn't rise from the dead. Twelve eyewitnesses who are willing to die before they change their story is pretty compelling to me. \n\nBefore you change your religion, I would strongly advise investigating that religion. A few books come to my mind that would be relevant to Judaism, but you should know that they're written by Christians.\n\n1. "The Case for Christ" By Lee Strobel -- This is a long book, but it reads like a novel. Lee Strobel was an Atheist who set out to prove Christianity wrong. This book is the result.\n\n2. "More Than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell -- This is a short book, and an easy read. Josh McDowell also set out to prove Christianity wrong.\n\n3. "The Third Day" by Hank Hanegraaff -- This is a short book that focuses on the evidence that Jesus rose from the dead.

Consider your choices: One of you have to convert to the other religion or see if there are any civil ceremonies instead of a religious one.\n\nGood luck, congrats

Nothing at all. \n\nI have faith that God has a plan for the salvation of each and every one of us that is going to work, so why would I change anything?\n\nLove and blessings Don

:}\nassuming you are both believers,\nWe will be as the angels of God. \n\nNo new marriages will happen there, but a relationship even closer than you now experience with your husband will exist with all the redeemed believers.\n\nif this question relates to a recent or anticipated loss you can be sure he knows and cares\n\nOne of the most important things about g-ds character is that he is love and will always do what is right.\n\nG-d Bless

it's all just some stupid ploy. why would you want to change anyway? God made you the way He did and you should stay that way. i'm sure it'll satisfy.

No. According to Islam, a person has the right to choose his religion. He can switch to any religion he or she want.

Homosexual orientation can be 'changed' yes, but not happily. it would be like choosing to live as a bum when you can live comfortable. its denying who you are.\nsome homosexuals force themselves to change orientation due to religious views (ie they're told they will go to hell if they dont leave their life of sin) and instead focus on the 'grace of god' to give them the strength to deal with the aformentioned living as a bum...\n\nReligion is a choice, but faith is not. you can change your religion if you discover another fits more securly with what you believe as a person, but you cant so easily change your actual beliefs.\n\ni think neither is easy to change.

Depends.  A lot of people are raised to be of a certain faith.  These people often don't question what they are taught.  In that way, it isn't a real choice because they just believe what their parents/church told them to believe.  However, it becomes a choice if the individual thinks about what they believe - accept or reject certain aspects of different religions and make a decision to follow or not.

If I truely love someone, there religion or lack thereof is not going to stop me from marrying them. I wouldn't let there lack of faith influence or change me.

Not neccesarily. Relationships where both parties share the same religion tend to last longer than relationships where one person is religious and the other is not or relationships where each has a different religion (or even denomination).
