Diana Sinclair Posts: 10119 Joined: 3rd Apr 2008 Location: USA | quotePosted at 16:51 on 9th September 2008 I have very strong spiritual convictions, however, religion serves me and not the other way around. Religion is man made, spirituality is not. I am secure in my beliefs and if changing my "religion" makes the man I love happy then I'd be happy to change it. However, my spirituality and beliefs would remain the same. Does that make sense? |

The simple answer to that would be no. Would I ask them to become an atheist like me....again the answer would be no. |

Her parent pestered me and the Catholic priest pestered me. He said if I didnt become a Catholic, the church would not marry us. I said "good cos I dont love her anymore". We broke up. I was too young to ge married anyway. |
