Hey DPers,
I just watched this reaction video to a Muslim/Christian marriage, and I wondered how most people here feel about interfaith marriages.
Do you think any two faiths should not be united?
How would you feel if your son or daughter were marrying outside of your faith?
Personally speaking, I know very little about certain faiths... I probably know the least about Hinduism, and it seems the most foreign to me because it's polytheistic. But I agree with the guy at the end of the video, you should judge the person based on their character and not on their faith. The only exception would be if I thought they were involved in a cult or their beliefs were dangerous or radical, but I think that falls under judging the person's character and not simply their faith. For example, not all Mormons are fundamentals following the teachings of Warren Jeffs, so if my child was marrying a Mormon, I would wait and see the person before I jumped to making assumptions.
