Love & Religion -
June 3rd 2009, 06:34 AM
Okay to start out with: I am not a religious person whatsoever. I was raised in a Christian family. I've taken anthropology classes that made me feel even less warm towards the idea of following any one religion. At most I am agnostic, but I lean more towards an atheist view.
So I've been with this boy for about 6 months now. He is totally the sweetest guy I've ever dated. He's everything I have ever wanted in a lover.We work so well together. We haven't had a single argument yet! We're already really close, in fact we'll be moving in together soon.
Him and his family are Jehovah's Witness. I don't know much about them, except they don't celebrate holidays.
So it really has me worried. Is it possible that a relationship could work out between someone quite religious and an atheist? Should I convert? Do I need to break it off now?
Also since my family is Christian... what will I do about holidays?? It kinda saddens me to think he can not celebrate with me. I couldn't imagine having to tell my family, "I can't celebrate this year, it's now against my religion."
