This is unfortunate. I am just over this bigotry and fraud of religion myself. 12 yrs of loving and standing strong training d xtain lady thru university and her siblings only for her and family to come up with this nonsense of me being a moslem as if i wasnt a moslem all along. Well i have moved on, she waited to pick up a job with a bank to show this callousness of religious fraud. She has since lost the job and i always remember to pray for her as she is now in her thirties still single and now attending vigils and all manners of church activities. Love conquers all religion in this sense is a fraud!!!!!!

And what is the standard? with all our religious rubbish we practice, WHY IS NIGERIA SO SCREWED UP? your child can choose whose religion to follow if both couple can shine forth with good qualities, it's not about training them to pray, rather it's about living a life that would make them see praying as something they should DO willingly.

Haven't you seen people who pray before going for a robbery operation? those who pray before going to hotels to work as prostitute? those who pray before leaving for the office to use their pens to steal and defraud people? i say again, until we understand that religion is a barrier, we won't grow, what people should emphasize on is your spirituality and personal communion with God.

Because you were raised in a same-faith home does not deter you from being a criminal or love-peddler, it's by grace and by God's mercies.. Pastor's kids turn to criminals, impregnate girls here and there, turn to ashawo, e.t.c same with Alfa and Imam's kids, they do same too, so what then do we blame for these acts

No one is saying you should not pray, but i am just trying to point out to you that religion is really not what should dictate to us who to marry, rather we should seek what gives us peace, some of us are the reason why another person is likely going to see the light but when you restrict yourself from those you should show the light, then how do you expect them to see the light?

Religion in Nigeria is a barrier to good things (FACT) and please there's a BIG difference between being religious (pray, go to church, bear christian/muslim names, own a bible/koran, stay around people with same belief), and be spiritual (working with God, being a reflection of what you truly practice to the fullest in act and in kind).

Good! Now, to that effect, delete his number, his text messages, the texts you sent to him, delete him from facebook, untag him from your pics on Facebook, delete all his picture in your possession, Burn the physical ones. . . Unfriend his closest friends. The idea is for you to return yourself to how you were before he came into your life. . .

Why most parent dont approve their daugther to marry outside their faith, it because after giving out their daugther for marriage , the husband's in most cases dnt allow their wife's to pratice her own religion b4 they got married.

Sarah a: Why most parent dont approve their daugther to marry outside their faith, it because after giving out their daugther for marriage , the husband's in most cases dnt allow their wife's to pratice her own religion b4 they got married.

In the 2 major religion in Nigeria, at least in the south, no one is likely going to force his or partner to practice his or her religion because both religion knows that salvation is personal.

the Yoruba Muslim always use this term "esin baba o gbomo la", meaning "the religion of the father can't save the child" and in Christianity too, we believe the race to heaven is a lonely race, you won't get to heaven because you were born into a christian home, married a christian wife/hubby or bear a christian name, rather it's how you live yourself here on earth according to JESUS's teachings mostly in the NT.

Speak for yourself, say it's better for u.

How can an alfa come to teach my kids Quran when my kids (by God's grace) will personally prefer to be like me or try to outclass me spiritually and in the things of Christ Jesus and even my wife too?

One thing you should know about life is that NO ONE'S RELIGION can save the other and secondly, my fiancee is from a Muslim home, but she's the only christian in her family and her DAD remains one of the best man i have ever known even though he's a Muslim.

No ma, not an exceptional, there are alot of these around, you can't see them because you have restricted yourself from them "when you make it a me vs them thing" you won't see what's out there at the other end.

Now, i don't want my kids to grow up as Christians (religion), rather as a believer who understands why they must be Christ-like, alot of people grow up in christian homes without knowing anything about Christ or Christianity, remember to serve God is by choice, can't be inherited, so please it's not because both parents are Christians that makes a child thick in Christ, rather it's a personal thing hence the analogy of pastors and imam's kids.

neyostica: ^^^^Dont mind honeric, hes dating a christian from a muslim background, isnt it different from a girl wearing hijab

This is the problem with hypocrites in Christianity, You have issues dating people from other faiths right? but can you in honesty answer these questions?

1: do you do business with non-Christians?
2: Do you commit the same sins non-Christians commit?
3: Do you live around non-Christians?
4: Do you have non christian friends?
5: Do you really understand why Christ came to earth, who he came for and WHAT HE PREACHED AND PRACTICED while on earth?

If yes is your answer to any of these questions, kindly explain why and please tell us why dating a non-christian an abomination.

BTW, do not boast, less you fall, but i can tell you that my girl is very vast when it comes to the things of God and can take you on spiritual things anytime anyday and i have a truck load of trust for her than even some men of God/deacons/elders base on her track-record.

Pastor Tunde Bakare came from a Muslim home
Pastor David as i heard also came from a Muslim background
Pastor TB Joshua same too

And host of others.
Infact all Christians were once unbeliever, so what's your point with trying to make this an issue of you vs them?

THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO PROVE YOUR CHRISTIANITY IS BY YOUR FRUITS + GRACE AND NOTHING ELSE, NOT BY HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN GOING TO CHURCH, BEEN A CHRISTIAN BY ASSOCIATION, BY BIRTH, LOCATION, PEER PRESSURE or anything else.

Why do people get themselves involved in such situations? Why get into a relationship with someone you know you can't have a future with? 3 years if a waste of time to be with a man with no prospect of marriage. You can CHOOSE who to fall in love with. There is no such thing as love at first sight, there is LUST at first sight.
Re: We Agreed To End A 3 Years Relationship Due To Religious Differences. by nene1: 1:50am On Apr 03, 2012
I am not surprised that the guy is muslim. Muslims guys always love to mess around with Christian girls because they THINK that they are easier to bed. I am a muslim girl and I would advise Christian girls to not get involved with muslim men. Most just sleep with and date Christian girls, but when it comes time to settle down, he will marry a muslim girl that his family will approve of. For those that do end up getting married, it doesn't turn out well. Well that is in MY esperience. You can be friends with all types of people, but when it comes to marriage and sharing your life together, it can lead to a lot of problems if you don't have that common ground. People let so-called "love" bind them. Dating is fun and romance, but marriage is reality especially when the kids come. That is where the problems start. You never know someone 100% until you live with them. Having 2 different religions under one roof can cause too many clashes and confusion for the kids. People need to look at COMPATIBILITY in marriage as love can fade. Love AND compatibility is necessary for a marriage to work. You need something to keep you together during rocky times of your marriage. This fairy tale love leads people to make the wrong decisions. As women we don't have years to waste on 1 guy. We have a biological clock that ticks fast.

The bolded can happen in any home be it same faith or not, do you know that even in Nigerian practiced Christianity, we have Christians and we have Christians? alot of divisions and most don't believe in the other, so if we are to also go by that, everyone should marry only from the church he or she attends because we have different foundations and doctrines in different churches and mosque.
