Gozzzy: A pagan will even be better than him,shun sentiment and check what i said.

as i said before,'

PAGAN 9JA:
OP if the man is from your tribe, it doesnt matter whether hes christian or muslim, because it is your bloodline.

only tribe matters. cool

E.g., if a Yoruba muslim marries a Yoruba christian, who cares, as long as both revert to Ifa-Orisha.

To reject someone you have feelings for on that ground exposes your vulnerability.You are frail,confused,undecided and without actually knowing whaat is all about.

You deny yourself of personal happiness in the name of subjective beliefs that you dont understand.Who comes first?You or religion?

Grow up nigerians and overcome your problems.

Thank you! I'm a product of a marriage between a Christian, Muslim, and 'Traditional' families; it's the best of all 'worlds'.

Religion/belief system is just a form of mental slavery people need to rid themselves off.

Most Nigerians are still 200 years behind modern times, they're stuck in slavery and colonial times.

solayemi: . Is jesus d son of God in d quran? What is d place of d trinity in d quran? As a christian i knw d bible does nt recognise muhamed. So we do nt worship dsame God.
Jesus is not the son of God both in the Quran and the Bible, He was son of mary. As for prophet Muhammed (saw) recognition in the Bible, if u can't find it, that is ur limited exposure to the Bible.

200 years?That is an insult to the black Pharoahs that existed thousands of year ago in opulence,splendour,innovation,plenty,unity and fortifications.

Africans of today does not believe in anything.They are more like pre existence people.

Cristalz:

Don't second-guess yourself, dearie. You made the right choice.
Besides, if he claims to love you that much, why doesn't he change his religion to yours? I mean, if you're willing to chase a woman for 2 years and still won't take "no" then you should be willing to do what it takes to make her yours.
[/b

What if the Dude converts to Christianity now,then 2 yrs into the marriage decides to convert to Islam? A lot of the female folks have made such st**upid mistake thinking they can change a man but @OP it will be good for you to know that you cannot change any body you can only change yourself to conform to his standards or belief if you wish to marry him.
Re: Refusing A Marriage Proposal Based On Religion? by Ammyng(f): 6:14pm On Sep 04, 2012
You have the right to accept or not to accept anyone's marriage proposal especially if you are one of the religious freaks of nowadays. Be it religious reasons or not, its your life and your choice.

Chrisbenogor: Yo,
Most people like to talk the talk but not walk the walk. It takes two and its a very very dangerous game if you are considering it, but like the best answer to almost all questions in the world "it depends".
It depends on you, what do you want for your kids? would you be also comfortable with him practicing his religion? Would you understand when he does not have to eat for the month of Ramadan? Would you be able to bear his friends and family who are muslims? Would you understand when he has to take wife number two?
It depends on him, what does he want for the kids? Would he be fine when you make Afang and Ekpang on a beautiful sunday in the Ramadan? Would he be fine when your pastor visits and says let us rise for prayers? Would he be fine with your kids saying the Lords prayer?

Religion is not easily separated from our day to day lives, when you get married you "marry" your lives together and then it takes a fine balancing act to make things work. Plus religion is one of those things were people tend to get "Damascus" Moments often, he might not want a second wife now but sooner or later he might "fall off his horse" see a shining light and want it. Same applies to you.

Remember, its not just talking the talk. Its walking the walk.

Chrisbenogor;
Thank U̶̲̥̅̊ for your comment. U̶̲̥̅̊ are τ̣̣ђё only sensible person in this house of crazed dementia.

I'm glad i opened this thread. It has served to remind me what a closeminded bunch of Bigots we have in this country. And no surprise,the bible in particular is τ̣̣ђё best lesson in religious intolerance. I have seen so much nonsense here i can't even think of any one person worthy of addressing.

U̶̲̥̅̊ r all a bunch of intolerant haters who believe it'ڪ "love my god or be damned". Some idiot here even went on to say τ̣̣ђё guy was "servicing her"-how very crude and pretentious and downright vituperative and stupid. As though it'ڪ a given that they were "servicing". U̶̲̥̅̊ people and your various "my god is better than yours" are all retarded and disgusting. It would take a real pervert and degenerate mind to enjoy their mythical heaven when others like me are supposedly burning in hell. What a bunch of freaks though!!

Bleep U̶̲̥̅̊ roundly.

do not deceive yourself. If both of you are atheists, good. Nominal christian/muslim, possible but good christian and good muslim = do not waste your time because you believe in different things.

Everything else is beating about the bush. Look before you leap.

Religion the most devisive creed! What pains me most is that always it is the muslim guys that get used and dumped by the treachery and scheming xtians gurls! Wait, muslim couples have raised kids who grew up and turned xtians, vice versa! Abegi imam child turn bomber and pagan child heals humanity;bishop son is the chief cultist and daughter is a hoe! @ the end hoe's child turned saint!!! If you can date him you can marry him except it was a onesided relationship where you only take without giving!it is obvious the guy was more committed that explains why he is taking so long to move on, but for u, u were never in so you moved like nothing happened!

In a marriage between a Christian and a Muslim, one must convert the other. It now depends on who is letting go and if he does, you've got his family members to deal with. Now that's hell

My ex proposes to me, i refuse his marriage proposal because he is a Muslim.
in his words he said "i wont stop you from practicing your religion". but i refuse him, for two years now he is still beginning me to marry him
so you think he's a bf material but not a marriage material! why should a christian date/marry a muslim in the first place yes, religion is a perfect reason why you should refuse a marriage proposal! read Amos 3:3 and 2 cor 6 : 14-18! if you claim to be a child of God, let the Holy Spirit lead you.

I wish i can get the Muslim Ex and talk sense into his head... for wasting his time when there are thousand and one of commited Muslim ladies out there..thand wasting away with someone that will ruin his life..

If you ask me why am i making that kind of statement (ruin) i will tell you..

She was never commited to the relationship, she fake everything, she lured the guy into believing her, a lady that never have much feeking but just using the guy...and am sure she will never love that guy as much as the Muslim guy does and i know she will do more to him...

That isn't my opinion but what the society has made us believed and many are responding in accordance. I still don't know what you root for but whichever ways, we need a breakdown of important matters that will arise on the long run in the marriage.

Acidosis: Oh Lord Have Mercy!!

Okay, You dated a muslim, and He serviced you all through the relationship.

Now that he wants marriage, you answered NO.

Did you not think about your religion, while he was servicing you on the bed, while you were exchanging blood, water and feelings? Did your religion support all that? ?

Stop deceiving yourself woman, religion can't work for you, church is not meant for you.

So just go and marry him, stop this religious trash..

PERFECTLY SAID MY BROTHER. GOD BLESS YOU. A GOOD PERSON IS A GOOD PERSON REGARDLESS OF RELIGION. THE ONLY TIME I THINK YOU CAN QUIT A RELATIONSHIP based on the "excuse" of religion is when your partner tries to enforce or enslave you with his/her own beliefs. Other than that,I don't see why people use silly excuses of religion to quit relationships. Later na, we would be forming holier than thou,when even the Bible actually let's us know that "to love your neighbour is the second greatest commandment after loving God."
