Hypothetical Question-Religious Conversion

Well, I would only date atheists or christians. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle other beliefs but as much as I'd like to say I want the other person to convert is not something you can force them to. Some families would like to though, but still is not something they can impose on their family members because not all of them will believe the same. I think that to make it work, mostly, these couples need to reach an agreement and, especially, when it is about life lasting relationships. I don't see it as impossible though, but the partner for the non-believing or different believing person notices that they want to change their beliefs just because of them, I don't think they would easily accept that since is not for 'ourselves' that we believe in whatever we want to believe in. Must add, it should be a decision, however, is true that either way, the believer will always try to preach and all so, dealing with it is the real question here. This is why I'm not open for other kind of religious people to have a relationship with me. Knowing this is entirely personal to me, I also can say that I've been curious about how it'd work out, there are several sites that explain how the relationship can still be successful without touching the religious part, even though, great world visions collide. I find it romantic, personally.

I seem to be getting caught up on the family/culture/society requires a non-worshiper to convert. If you plan on living in a different country where it's mandated you worship a certain religion then that's your choice to make. But if that's not the case, then is the family/culture/society going to come and murder you if you're not a practitioner of their faith? Do they own your love interest and can outright deny them from marrying anyone they choose?

My Senpai is going through this. She married a man who's family required her convert and she's doing it. She doesn't really care about religion, but she loves her husband enough to do it. I think it more depends on the spouse, because you could always move away from their family ;P

Oho, you bring up an interesting discussion there drum. It's a hot topic discussion and a dilemma for those living here as well who are marrying inter-racially. It's 99% the family that push for this with the backing from the country laws. In retrospect, parents don't force you to marry a certain religion, but rather a certain race. Even if you have the same religion, most family would prefer their kids to marry into the same race. Just a correction, there is no such laws requiring a race to be a certain religion. It's just most of Malays are Muslim. But some are Christian and Buddhist. You hypothetical only happens if you actually choose to live here. Most don't really bother to push for a conversion if they are married and living elsewhere. But yeah, most of those marriage "pretends" to convert for the sake of their family, but the couple don't really push religion down your throat, unless you are marrying a really traditional girl, which 90% aren't really. I think we will see more change as as times goes by where the old views and law starts to die out.

@NO.44 I haven't seen anyone killed yet. But you are judging a whole country without any information about the country. You are worried about your parents bigoted view, but it seems you hold the same view towards other people as well? Isn't that just plain hypocritical of you?
