Inter religion dating

Posted by Hayden Allen-Vercoe on Fri 2nd June 2006 at 06:19 AM, Filed in General Dating

This is a subject that in I debate a fair mount.  I am an atheist so have limited views on religion, but why is it that people are brought up with a negative impression of someone from another religion?  Who has the right to tell anyone what to do on this planet, we get one life and I say ‘live it’! ...

I am not damning religion, however I am expressing a very strong view that I am passionate about, which is that if you meet your soul mate no matter what race, creed, colour, religion – then who has the right to dictate whether you should see them or not.

Some religions are more relaxed than others, and I have dated a few people across a selection of religions.  The experience is amazing and a real eye opener from a cultural perspective.  Unfortunately a couple of religions condemn it completely and actually carry out honor killings – believe it or not this happens daily in the UK!

If the barriers were raised and faith was purely faith maybe we wouldn’t have so much violence in the World. 

I entirely respect the people who decide to date without barriers – hopefully one day we will come out of the dark ages and all love each other a little more.

If you have a story or some advice for inter religion dating .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and share it with the World.  This is a subject I will be revisiting with interviews from holy people from all areas of religion.  If I can help just a few couples get to grips with cultural dating then I have done my job.
