hi there! i use 2 hav a boyfrnd b4 we broke up recently. why? cos he wnts me 2 convert 2 his own religion, he's a muslim while am a christian. help me out., whats love got to do wit religion? thanks to ya all as i await ur feedback(s).

Its only in this part of africa that inter religious marriage is condemned.Many people who end up defying all odds either has an issue with inlaws,parents or the religious status of their offsprings.In conclusion i believe that the conversion insidtence by your man is not done in the light of love but a purely selfish motive

U guys r not even married and he wants to convert u. My dear, its like that in sometimes, forget about him. He doesnt love u.

Love and Religion my own perspective is that If you love someone you don't care if the person is a muslim and you are a christian , am actually speaking for my self, I had an experience years ago about a Girl I met and she love me but she was always compplaining about me being a Christian and she being a Muslims, I beleive we serve one God with different names, Allah, Jesus,

They packed out of where they where living and before she left she told me she was quitting due to the fact that her paents won't approve our relationship, what do parents have to do with? I believe if there is love it can conquer every other thing, and so she left and since then I've never seen her

i give no shit about this cos it one of the weighing us down especially in nigeria.

Love has nothing to do with religion, but in most cases it is often used as an excuse to end a relationship.

Well I think I've a slightly different opinion on this. It is this simple, the guy is of course wrong in quitting a relationship simply because you're not and don't want to be of his religion, a point of compromise could be reached if well worked out, though the couple in this case may have to abandon some obligations even if their respective religions recommends it. However, the thickness of the line drawn between LOVE and RELIGION by an individual depends on the person's level in the practice of his/her religion. Though not totally passed as the sole option, an individual that loves and practise whole-heartedly his/her religion will always find it a bit difficult to associate a person of different belief in a marriage, there are so many reasons for this, of which the heaviest is the sense of being in constant contrast in terms of belief and value with one's partner. Remember, I said "one who loves and practise whole-heartedly", that means he/she must be the type who obeys and adheres to the norms, recommendations and constitution of the religion. A partner, being of a different religious opinion may definitely not share the same views on certain matters most especially the day to day conduct e.g morale, praying, expenses(I mean on what the couple should expend or not on)... There is also the question involving kids' religious orientation, religious outings that normally involves the presence of a couple, how friends and family see your partner and whole lots more. And to be candid, some relationships are better dissolved than heading on to marriage only for this things to come up and an eventual break-up while other more complicating factors are already involved. Please don't read this write up and say it is bullsh*t, because if you decide to live a secular/not too religion practicing life, others too have the right to live a religious and dedicated life. At the end, it is a case of choice: what you think you want and can cope with.
