Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@bonagrad92 says : My parents were married in 1965. Dad was Lutheran and my mom is Catholic. In order to get married, my dad converted to Catholism. Thus my brother and I were raised Catholic. My opinion is that if you love someone, really love someone, you work it out and choose a religion that both parents are comfortable with. Then you're able to raise your children together in one faith. Less confusion for the kids and they learn religious values.>> <<@leighabauckman5657 says : I raise my kids as Catholic>> <<@Kaleb_Hicks says : People don't need religious backgrounds it's better for them.>> <<@stephenshelton4267 says : It amazes me that people don't consider the very fundamentals of their lives when choosing to marry, and then have shocked pikachu face when they learn that love is not enough when it comes to merging two lifestyles into one.>> <<@NoNameNoFace-rr7li says : religion is the responsibility of the mother>> <<@terrorcop101 says : even Catholic and Protestant can have issues; just listen to The Orange and the Green by the Irish Rovers>> <<@motzoh says : Agreed. It was a serious premarital discussion!>> <<@hahern242 says : Before marriage its important to agree on religion, finances, politics, kids/parenting, amd how to handle in-laws>> <<@thesalty_mandalorian1776 says : I disagree, don't get married in this day of age.>> <<@figdickmun says : I used the strongly disagree with this sentiment. But now that I'm in my sixties I see the wisdom in this. Unfortunately, I've seen far too many marriages end up unhappy and broken because of this. That's not to say it can't work. But it often doesn't.>> <<@Katsurenjo15 says : Think carefully regarding which religious organization should get your money and do your thinking for you. Not an easy choice.>> <<@thomasandsheilarock5454 says : Agree>> <<@partydave1067 says : I believe that it's best to understand and learn from different cultures. Sure it will be wierd and VERY awkward... but if I love a woman, and wish to have children with her. Religion are importent howeger they are also a way to view the divine, the world and morals, a good reltionship is one where either sides learn how to hecome better from each other and what else is to understand from different viewpoints of morals, of the divine and the way another percieve the world?>> <<@caddie1a says : Kids ARE the marriage between father & mother. We don’t need government or even the church to tell us what defines a marriage!>> <<@benharrison1069 says : Be of the same religion and the same political beliefs. Life for a couple is so much easier and happier if those are aligned with each other.>> <<@samuelhendrickson7396 says : Agreed! 💯%>> <<@southbug27 says : We should teach our young people to not even go on a date with someone unless they are the same religion.>> <<@AlltruthmattersTL says : My wife is Jewish and I am Christian. She learns about Jesus and I learn her beautiful traditions. Its awesome 😊>> <<@SwornReaper says : I got couple senior friends. The husband advised me candidly that it is always a good idea to marry someone that has same belief/religious system with you, same race, same culture, same wealth or background (though wealth is very least in the order, or it isn’t important much as others). I’m not the same race as he and his wife are, but I took his words to my heart. I do like other girls out of my race, but I still agree what he said was right, so I tend to live by myself.>> <<@RicardoGonzales-t9g says : Let the kids choose what religion they want to attend, it's their choice.❤❤>> <<@natashastevens5908 says : Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life." I don't see any ifs, ands or buts.>> <<@Phantom8589 says : Be not uneqaually yoked....>> <<@shalomsister says : I agree, don't be unequally yoked. That's what the Bible says.>> <<@Heartwing37 says : Agree! It’s biblical!>> <<@goosieschmoo8239 says : Do not be unevenely yoked. Also, Christ is King. Stop denying Him, Dennis. ✝️>> <<@moonbuni59 says : I have a friend who is Catholic and her husband is Jewish. They celebrate all the holidays and let the kids choose when they got older and neither child is practicing. My household was the opposite. We raised our children in the same religion, but still only 3 of the 4 are practicing and raising their children in the same religion. You can just raise them the right way and then they still have their agency which way they will choose.>> <<@MargueriteAtHome says : You are so right.>> <<@xymos7807 says : These are questions that must be discussed. I suppose a lot of it matters on where you decide to put roots in...a lot of things I was looking forward to were demolished because of disagreements... Aside from that...some of you all in the comments are batshit insane.>> <<@bigbhasad9974 says : That’s why the church had the right idea. Make everyone the same religion. PragerU advocates for theocracy perfectly.>> <<@SaintRubicon says : Or you could discuss with your soon-to-be-spouse ahead of time if you think there might be any conflict with what you want for the child. It also helps to come to the conclusion that children shouldn't blindly be indoctrinated, when you can instead teach them a wide range of religious beliefs (or just you and your spouse's), and let them come to their own conclusion with respect to your teaching. This will not onlt teach the kid that they have agency over their own life, but that you also respect them enough to give them a choice in the first place. Most ex-christians are people that were never given a choice, so they made it when they could.>> <<@kcan5767 says : Gotta be of the same yoke!>> <<@CaptainFantastic222 says : Grow your kids to be intelligent enough to choose their own path. Guide them, but don’t push your beliefs onto them>> <<@hyzenthlay713 says : I was athiest, and my husband was(still is) pantheist when we first met. Two kids into the relationship, I became a born-again Christian. It has been the hardest struggle in our relationship, especially when it comes to parenting. It is evident to me why we are told not to be unequally yoked. We do not see the world in the same way, and he is okay with exposing children to things such as movies or video games that are violent, scary, and have bad language despite our children being young. Another area of conflict is when I have prayer time or bible study with the kids. He has to step in and sow doubt by confusing them with conflicting ideology such as reincarnation. These are just some of the many troubles of not sharing the same religion.>> <<@kathyharris8331 says : Mind control brainwashing American children>> <<@HARASSMONICA says : So better don't have a religion belief...its easier>> <<@PotatoesAreNeat says : Oh, no it’s actually really easy. Despite my husband and I having different religions, we simply don’t indoctrinate our children to believe in any religion.>> <<@rainynight02 says : Gonna teach him what we each believe, strive to help him understand the different views and let him find his own path instead of forcing him down any particular one>> <<@issajboog5147 says : No religion is fine>> <<@lilytowner7462 says : I agree.>> <<@theseedoflife3057 says : The kids? Are you out of your mind? Religion is person's world view: if you have different religions, you live in different worlds. And if you are talking about getting married, clearly, you don't know not only each other, you don't know yourselves. Everything we do in our lives must have a good reason, especially when you decide to make someone part of not just your everyday life, but part of yourself. They made legal age for marriage so that people think it's a treat. It's not! They want people dumb, so they sex up children so they rush to get married before they grow up, because sex has this power of satisfaction and makes the person feel like they have achieved their primary goal, which makes maturity unnecessary. That's why most people are immature!>> <<@Phil-yn1er says : Not just religion, culture as well.>> <<@vampen4957 says : No mention of Islam :/>> <<@WakeManSurfer5 says : I married a Jew being Christian, and it’s changed my life, for the better!>> <<@starplant1463 says : I mean, Just wait untill the Child is older to teach them faith. If they are able to understand it then they can choose to follow it or not. But if you groom them from an early age then they will struggle to see different views. Give them a choice in the matter, it's that simple No?>> <<@SlimThrull says : You would raise them with both or a mix or let them choose. That's not even the least bit hard to figure out>> <<@mythguard6865 says : Of course the Bible uses the best phrasing of “being unequally yoked” I’ve had to say know to a lot of people I care about because I know the implications of that.>> <<@mstcrow5429 says : In my parents' marriage contract, said be raised Jewish. Not a hard question.>> <<@antonionalesnik1991 says : Praguer seemed very exhausted>> <<@user-wp8dh7eq6r says : Some of the most beautiful human beings had parents of different religions. Sometimes it can create genius in one who recognizes their value across broader spectrums.>> <<@reneesmith1339 says : When I go on a date with a guy, one of my 1st questions is what religion are you? My kids are grown but my faith is ongoing!>>
