Re: Religion and marriage - February 26th 2009, 07:02 PM

It's slightly irrelevant, because I'm not really attracted to people who are not secularised. But if the issue ever arose, I'd have to examine their thoughts and beliefs very carefully to make sure they were actually compatible with me as a person (since it's a relationship). I'd need to find out their stance on abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia and so on - since I think anyone who opposes those things is quite backward - I don't think it'd be a good idea to conduct a relationship with someone whom I believe to be backward-thinking. I'd also have to investigate how seriously they take their religious doctrine.

I'd never ask anyone to convert to please me, I'd just try to avoid relationships in which I had incompatible views with the other person. But as I said, that's relatively easy because I'm generally not attracted to people I interpret to be backward-thinking.
