Women : Does it matter if he practices different religion then yourself?

[yellowsnow]

Not at all but I dislike zealotry of any flavor.

I'm not religious at all so I can't really imagine having a successful relationship with someone that was really religious. My husband isn't relgious - so it's not an issue. I do know people that have successful relationships with people of different religions - but I'm not sure it would have worked with me.

I don't blame you. A shared outlook of the world is extremely important.

I used to practice pastafarianism. It was too saucy for most women.

This is a great post, and I agree.

I do not date outside my religion. According to 2 Corinthians 6:14 we are not to become unequally yoked with nonbelievers.

1 Corinthians 7:39 brings out that we should marry "in the Lord."

I strive to apply Biblical counsel in all areas of my life, and I believe this is good advice.

Yes. No religion is only way to go.

As long as he's not a fanatic, I'm cool with it. I've dated everything from an atheist to Catholic.

Atheists are easier to deal with.
