Hi all, i dun think many people know this, but Christianity is a
collective term for Catholics and Protestanism. Like bird is a
collective term for 'pigeons' and 'storks' etc. Under Protestanism
are all those denominations - 'Presbyterian, methodist, anglican
etc'
I think such problem of ostracising and keeping to their ownselves
run more along the protestants, not as a whole, the' christians'
cause I am a catholic myself and I do not see this problem. I have
seen many marriages of catholics and non-catholics or atheists
which work out fine. But it's very very difficult betw a catholic n
protestant. My cousin married a protestant and the marriage was
almost stopped. It was disastrous, lucky they are fine now and able
to work out their differences.
Most protestants are a very closely banded people who deal mainly
with their own people. I am not simply plucking such statements
from air. Dun flame me, cause I can back up my statements with
facts. But this is another case. I am not flaming protestants or
what, this is not a religious thread, i am simply pointing out the
differences.
Generally, a marriage of 2 pple should mainly be of same faith. Any
religions would encourage marriage within the same faith, only
Islam requires it by law that a muslim marries a muslim as ordered
by MUIS. For protestants, situation gets very sticky with them if
one is a protestant, while the other is not. As described by some
other forumers, there might be ostracizing n stuff like that. So
know what u are getting urself into betw u commit urself into a
relationship.
