Alice 💋 asked A friend of mine recently converted to Juda…

i wouldn't convert just to marry someone. i might "convert" if our spiritual beliefs converged and they educated me on whatever label they adhere to and it turned out that that label was also appropriate for me to use

Nah, keep your beliefs to yourself and never try to force it on me. I've had more than my fair share of religious indoctrination. I definitely couldn't stand a person so religious that needs me to convert to their religion.

If there was some financial incentive to convert, I might (must say it would have to be a pretty big one). But aren't you basically lying to the 'converters' whatever they're called, if you don't truly believe in that deep down?

No. While it’s fine with me for my partner to hold religious views (although to be honest, I probably wouldn’t be with them to start with because I think people who believe in any kind of superior being have some kind of mental deficiency), it would be on the basis that they never, ever, ever tried to convert me - I would’ve made this very clear right from the start. They could go to their church any time they wanted, but they should never come home and tell me any of that god nonsense, because every time they did, that’s another bit of my esteem for them chipped away. So, for them to say they wanted to marry me, but only if I go against one of my deepest held beliefs, is wrong on every level. To me, it’s the same as saying I would only marry them if they became an atheist - something I would never do. I couldn’t respect anyone who would ask that of someone. And if they made it an ultimatum, then I’d be getting out of the relationship.

I don’t think so. I wouldn’t even change my last name for them.

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the fantasy reality where someone's family meets me and their #1 complaint is just, "if only you were Jewish!" I'd probably want to secure a spot in that family tbh. I'd also like to be in a family where you don't go to a funeral and everyone around you does a one hour set where they just drag the dead person for forgetting to take the tags off her clothes even though she was blind. So it's not out of the question. It just depends on how insulting it is to have someone covert to a religion for you when they are and will remain a big succulent godless slut.

Nope

kelcey · 3y

No. Highly unlikely I would turn myself into a fake believer in order to be allowed to attend a ceremony that is just as bizarre as any religion in order to gain acceptance and a blessing of other believers and their god(s) that I basically do not want in my boat. Whenever a person I like would demand this I would expect that person to be basically and totally incompatible with me, which reduces our mutual chances to get to know each other in the first place to almost zero I reckon.

I might have at one point, was waaaay into a Jewish girl but as soon as it started to get serious her parents got a hold of her and straightened her right out, no schwarz allowed

Nah bruh

Pandy · 3y

No, no person is worth changing that much of yourself for.

Chris CM. Martinez · 3y

I wouldn't mind it, just because I'd be "Jewish" doesn't mean I'd have to take the religion/beliefs seriously. But the question is, would I respect someone who wouldn't marry me unless I converted to a religion?
