I am a United Methodist girl born and bred. I have never dated a man the same religion as me. This was not a conscious decision it's just not something for which I look in a mate.What if any is your religion and does it cause issues when looking for love etc.
Also, I am not one of those people who thinks if you aren't my religion you are going to hell. I know my religion isn't perfect; but for the most part it works for me.
The two long term serious relationships I was in were with men who were devout Catholics. At a certain point both expected me to convert. 'as if!' One (a black guy) expected me to convert for the good of the children we would have. The other expected me to convert for the good of our future children and so that his family would be more accepting of me (he was white).
Since then, I have sworn off dating Catholics of any color. I am sick of being called a heathen heretic and being threatened with the fires of hell. :12:
As for agnostics and atheists, I have no problem being friends with them; but I don't think I could ever marry one.
