I don't think I'd convert; but I think I'd be willing to respect her religion of choice while she respects mine. I think religion is such a delicate subject and some people are very strong minded about it - raising kids with parents of two different religions may be challenging.
For whatever this is worth... My baby mama and I are of diff religions. Neither one of us is religious, really. My son is neither and we don't try to influence him one way or the other. We figured he'll make that choice when he's able to
so you expose him to both cultures equally?
Cultures? Yes. Religions; not so much As I mentioned I'm not religious, nor do I agree with most of what "my" religion does or stand for. And am not of that religion by choice. More my parents choice. So on my part, no, he doesn't get too much exposure to my religion. As for his mom, I'm not too sure. She's not that religious either, but her cultures itself has more religious influences. So I guess he would get a little more exposure to that religion. Which I don`t mind, BTW
Reason why i'm asking is cause my friend is in similar situation except she is married. She said that when the time comes she will take the kids to his church and her church or wherever the kids want to go and eventually they pick.
I'm not sure how that would work though? Kids in general are smart and they pick up quickly but I would think it can get confusing.

I see it this way.....If i don't have a handle and full understanding of my own religion why woud i convert for anyone else?
Very touchy topic! I actually had a heated discussion with someone who is Indian and I haven't touched it since with her. Imagine if I had to live with her.
No te cases con ella - buscate otra novia... Maybe Jinx!

Would you ever convert religion for anyone? In the name of luv?
Even if u say no i think a person will eventually get persuaded to join in the other person's customs, church etc?
For starters I was religios at least until O reached the age of reason which means I was catholic around 2...yrs...
Plus isn't love about mutual respect ? why the person that claims to love me wants me to chage ...? Isn't love about tolertance, acceptance and mutual respect ??
but when it comes to religion, people forget about the concept apparently. i know people a catholic guy married a jew, HE had to convert, his family wasn't too happy about it.

me too...it's not just about religion but food plays into it as well. Some people fast or can't touch or see certain food during their celebration period.
I don't think i can put up with that? I luv my food, seafood, meat etc.
Talking about food - I don't think I would do too well with a VEGAN. I love meet, poultry, pork, etc too much to give it up... I don't see myself converting into a vegan... BBQ!

I don't think I would. Not because I care but because id find it unfair to be asked. I probably wouldnt find myself dating someone to whom that was THAT important anyway
