im not really religious but i wouldnt change myself - religiousness/everything just for the person i love. i mean i'd do anything for that person....even die but changing myself is something i will not do, otherwise if they ask me to change something that would mean that thier love/like or whatever for me is incomplete and hence meaning that we are not the correct persons for eachother.

that's great sparkl3z but the truth is u won't find the 'perfect' person for you, relationships are about compromise... u said u're not really religious, if u find a guy that's perfect but he's a devoted christian why not become a christian just to make that dude happy?

thats lyeing to yourself and more importantly to your love one. i would personally perform all the religious tenants.. eg if i married a christian, have a christian type wedding. but i would not say to her i beleive in Hesuse or anything.

I'm atheist, but i'm willing to be christian if that made some girl i love happy.

However being atheist, i doubt i could truely 'pick' a religion.

Pretty much the same. I don't mind pretending to be of a certain religion, I wouldn't really be able to believe it mind you.

Would depend on how strongly I feel about my faith at the time, but probably not.

My greatgandfather changed his religion from Greek Orthodox to Catholic so he could marry my greatgrandmother.
but only on the condition that they give all their children Greek names.
which they did.

I'd be inclined to say no, but then again realistically it would depend on the integrity of my faith at that time and how much I was into her.

well put.....religion is not a pair of sucks dat u have to change in regular intervals. You will not change your religion unless you reach the point where you beliwve you have found out a better path than dat u r walking on....or......religino means nothing to u...it's just like a pair of sucks

i will find the perfect person believe me, mabye i already have & dont know it yet :D ok. being realistic love is love and u cannot define what will hapen until u experience it, but if the person i 'happend to love' asked me to change my religion i'd only change it if i believed in the religion after studying it for a long long time, i wont just change something to please him - just to make him happy as you say, thats just distorting the whole religion aspect, its meant to be a belief, why should i pretend to believe something i do not?

exactly. you wouldnt lie to someone especially one you love. im an athiest and proud of it. if a girl asked me to become a christian for example, i would do all teh convert and stuff if she asked. but i would tell her it would not change my beliefs. thats about as far as i would go.

How do you even go about changing your beliefs?
How do you accept an unsubstanciated (sp?) reality?

I'm not religious at all. I would convert if it was needed for me to marry that person (and if it were important to him/his parents). But I would make it clear we do not share the same beliefs and I would only do it for his sake, not for my own. I couldn't change my attitude toward religion.

However, if I married a guy and he wanted the children to be raised in a certain faith, I would not object.
