There are an innumerable number of religions in the world. And there are over four hundred Christian religions in the world. Well how do you date a religious person? This is Doctor Paul, author of Boomer Girl Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating. And host of Ask Doctor Paul. This can be a very tricky question and a very cautious area. And the reason for that is because there are degrees of religion. There are family values that some people have that others do not have. There are cases where people say look, if you don't believe in abortion, don't have one. If you don't believe in gay marriage, don't marry a gay. There who are people who say well this is an absolute to me and there's no gray area. There's no gray area here and everything is black and white. So, you need to find out the important thing and that is do you balance? How religious is this person? What are the degrees of religion, and there are degrees. Different people have different feelings about different subjects. In the event that you find that this is something that's not acceptable to you, or you're a religious person and you're dating someone who is not, make certain that you're comfortable with it. And if you're not especially a religious person or your religion is far different from the person that you're dating, sit back and ask yourself is this going to be workable? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Don't force it because guess what, those feelings are oftentimes ingrained and the time you have children is when it becomes really an issue because one or the other wants that child raised in a particular religion. So tread carefully on this one because one never knows what the outcome may be. This is Doctor Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
