Yea, I did a lot of research once I found out about it. I did read that Muslim men can marry Christian and Jewish women and Muslim women can't marry non-Muslim men and why. Me, I'm not that Christian though. I used to be when I was younger. But now I have my own pretty unique miscellany medley of beliefs. I believe in one God, I believe there was a Jesus. I don't believe in Hell or a Satan. I believe in past lives and reincarnation. I oppose abortion. I don't oppose homosexuality (I read Muslims do). Sometimes I like to entertain that maybe there's a feminine duality to God and there's a God and a Goddess (Wiccanism). And while I wouldn't say I'm Buddhist or Hindu, there are aspects of those faiths, I like to entertain as well. I like my freedom, my free will to explore other religions and take what I like from them and what from them make sense to me and feels right in my heart. While I don't necessarily practice or claim any certain one. And I know that I could never be Muslim because if I understand correctly, the Islam beliefs are that you have to fully submit your will to the will of Allah. And that's just something I could never do for anyone or anything. I do hope that everything works out between us. He's been my man 9+ years and I don't want to lose that or give that up at all. He doesn't seem very concerned about it jeopardizing anything, so I think I should just go by that and put my trust in him and us. Thank you for your comment though, I do appreciate it.

And any man who subscribes to them? Because the clergy of these religions, if you have noticed, are mostly male.

My guy just became Muslim so I think we're still learning. He told me that he couldn't have ANY sex at all (any more) until he gets married because it's "fornication" and he wouldn't be "properly blessed". So he can have sex before marriage just not during Ramadan?

Call them delusions and fantasies if you like. We are discussing religion here, not science. That means there is an element of FAITH involved.
Remember I'm Tinkerbell, and I believe in magic!!
Yes I have "fantasies" about having a wonderful Christian marriage with a wonderful Christian man some day. May I'll be Cinderella!!
I'm not a fool, I know there are hypocrites everywhere! Used to be married to one! That didn't make me lose faith in Christ!
The trick is finding someone who I can trust.

I think it's good to be with someone of similar faith, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker. For me, I've never dated someone who wasn't Christian, but that doesn't mean I would never date someone who wasn't. I had a female friend who was a Wiccan, and she was one of the nicest people I knew. I would have had no problem going out with her.

I had a class mate last year who was Wiccan and my neighbour adjoining my back garden is also a Wiccan, very nice people the pair of them but i personally had to steer clear of chit chat about religion with them ,as some of its a bit to Pagan for me to swallow and i end up scary myself with visions of Edward Woodward in the Wicker Man.
Ive yet to meet a male Wiccan as of yet, that would be interesting indeed.
