[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find converting to another religion abhorrent. I feel that you should adopt whatever you find good in other religions into your belief system.

[b]I am ok if a person becomes an atheist. But to convert to another religion shows a lack of spirituality in my opinion.[/b]

In a marriage (between people of two faiths) - I dislike the insistence to convert to another person's religion. I also feel that the children should be exposed to both religions and belong to both religion.  And they should choose what they like best in both these religions and adhere to that.[/quote]

I think that's.... nuts.  What if you convert from Catholicism because you object to certain positions of the Catholic church, to Protestantism, because you are more liberal minded.  Does that show a lack of spirituality?

What if another faith calls to you?  The more you learn about (x) ism, the more it resonates with your soul....

No, I think blindly accepting what you've been told as a child shows a lack of spirituality.  I think examining other faiths and giving them a chance to speak to your heart shows true spirituality.  [/quote]

I agree, but if your childhood religion teaches that it is the only right one in the eyes of God and you continue to believe that as an adult, then changing would be abhorrent.  PP obviously believes in an all or nothing approach, accepting atheism over choosing anothe religion.   Luckily, this is just one person's opinion and because we live in a free society, it cannot be forced on all of us.[/quote]
