Mormon vs. Christian?

[akeyes]

First of all, I am a christian. My family is very strong about our religion, and it is obviously very important. Lately I met a mormon who is absoutely wonderful. He is so perfect for me, and I love him. The catch is that if my family knew they would totally freak out. From what I understand, Christians and Mormons believe very different things and my family has always talked about that. What should I do?? I can either follow my heart and disapoint my entire family, or I can do what my family would want and end our relationship...

Do what you believe to be right, but make sure you maintain contact with your friends and family. Never lose sight of yourself.
I'm a Christian too (not a Mormon) but I view with suspicion all creeds that have prescriptive answers to life's troubles, which the more sect like followings tend to, they also have polygamy which is a matter you should discuss.

Isn't this a saddening post? This is what religions do, you see. Bigotry in most of them.
Akeyes - I agree with everton. Don't lose your family and friends, but at the same time, if you fall in love with someone who's not exactly what your family would've wanted, they should love YOU enough to respect your judgement.

The Mormons have the most ridiculous beliefs of any religion short of Scientology. Go down that path at your peril.

For goodness sake forget all about faiths driving you apart at this stage , come to an agreement what will happen in the future, agree to stop the religious thing if the relationship is important to both of you, if you cannot agree then pack it up now , theres plenty more fish in the sea and a complicated relationship just is not worth it at all regardless of him being the perfect one, him being a different religion knocks that one straight on the head , best of luck !
