Would you marry someone of a different faith?

Would you marry someone of a different faith? How about if their religion taught that members of your faith were evil? Would you convert if you had to in order to marry? What if you disagreed with the tenets of the other person's religion?

    I have thought about this before. Most likely not. Let's say even I did convert; I wouldn't find happiness and always disagree with her beliefs.

    if her religion taught people of my faith are evil- I'll show her its not true

    would i convert- no

    religion has no say in a marriage

    I think I would marry someone even if our religious preferences were not the same. I would hope that they figure things out and I do not think I would even pressure them. My daughter does not have any faith and I just tell her that she is smart and she will figure it out. The bible says that God is love, it does not say God is love for some people. I love learning about how other people think and about other peoples religion so it would be a great opportunity to learn and find out truly why someone thinks that. I respect all religions.

    Yes I would. I am Catholic and my boyfriend is Methodist but neither of us are very religious. Neither of us want to convert but that doesn't really bother us. I doubt two people would even date, let alone consider marriage, if they are constantly fighting over religion (though somehow my grandpa decided to convert to Catholicism from Protestant to marry my grandmother, and there is no issue with religion. While I've been told I'm going to hell by a Protestant at work).

    I would. I wouldn't convert (already did that once), and I wouldn't expect him to convert, although I would expect the children to be raised in my religion (I swore that, after all, when I converted). As long as he agrees to that, there wouldn't be any issue.

    Yes. I can't see her being too devout if she's willing to marry me. No. I'm marrying the person, not their religion.

    I'd marry, but I probably wouldn't convert.

    i became into married for 12 years to a guy I relatively believed i could improve previous and die with. He left me for an older lady who feels like me and has the comparable first call as mine. Our "differing faiths" had no longer something to do with our concern.

    If I want to get married then I will have to marry to Jehovah's Witnesses.

    I have enough trouble with marriage alone. I would not desire to shoot my foot after a hammer has dropped on it either.
