Pyrotechnic Oracle I.Am I have no idea how I could date a non-Catholic either. gonk I mean, on one hand, I completely support that type of thing, good on you. But, as a Catholic, we are required to raise our children as Catholics, and how am I supposed to explain to the kids that mommy goes and prances naked in the forest under the full moon? whee (Slightly-old inside joke. xd ) Miranda wouldn't want to date you any ways Andy. Sucha thing would cause her very existence to implode.
while he's awake.

I.Am God -is- love. At any rate, considering that the soul is the center of religion, if love is a connection of two souls, then it is a most religious thing indeed. And disregarding that, my reason for being wary of inter-religious relationships had nothing to do with love and everything to do with children, and how you raise them. How can you tell your kids, "I'm right, mommy's wrong," or vice versa? It would divide loyalties. And considering that all religions teach that you should raise your children up into the same religion, it stresses the family bonds even more. i had thought of that... i would suggest simply letting them figure it out, let them find God. That will be what they do no matter how you raise them. then again, i'm one of the types who believes that all religions point to the same end, the same God. basically, so long as you're a good person and never hurt anyone, how could God rightfully dismiss you?

So I agree with you in some aspects, like I wouldn't want to RAISE my children Christian, but at the same time if they converted to Christianity I wouldn't have a problem with that. Because to me my religion is no better or more truthful than Christianity.

Except with me, that isn't possible. I -have- to raise my children as Catholics. And besides, since I believe that my religion is the right religion, what kind of parent would I be if I said, "Hey, it doesn't matter whether you're Christian or not, or even if you're atheist?" That would be like saying, "I don't really care if you go to Hell or not, it's your choice." I am not one of those who believes that you absolutely have to be Catholic to go to Heaven. After all, no one knows the mind of God and who am I to judge? But I do believe that being Catholic highly increases your chances, and I would want my kids to have the best chances possible. @Beware: Interesting, I didn't know that. 3nodding

Since I am new to this guild I will answer the original thread topic and go into the fray after words.
I could date a pro-choice woman for 2 simple reasons. A. I'm so right-wing that it would never happen and B. I don't believe in premarital sex, so I'm not going to have sex with anyone I'm only dating, so the topic would never be of great importance. But of course that would be a barrier if it were to somehow go any further.

My Dad's girlfriend is pro-choice and my Dad is pro-life. So it's happened.
My Dad isn't very firm on the topic though, while Susan (his girlfriend) and I got into a bit of a tizzy over the whole thing.

As in he isn't all "I'm pro-life abortion is wrong." but he's already pretty well said that if she got pregnant and had an abortion he'd leave her.

Honestly, a relationship is about trust. To me, in the end, it shouldn't matter if your partner is Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, as long as they've told you they won't get an abortion and you trust them. Because if you can't trust them in something like that, how are you going to get the whole thing to work out?
Now, if they got an abortion, then I'd be outta there.
