Not in Judaism. But if my girlfriend wants to make it to heaven then I am all for it.

 

Please explain. I am confused about what you are saying.

If you can make it work and love each other, then absolutely, there's no problem with it (as my vote in the poll indicates). What I do take issue with are those in this thread who seem to be of the opinion that people who believe dating or marrying outside their faith would be difficult or even impossible are somehow small-minded, terrible people. There seems to be a lot of "people who are serious about religion are ignorant, awful people" going on in P+R lately...

 

Amen, and I'm sick of it.

In orthodox Judaism, Christ is not the Son of God, salvation is not an end result, and is therefore not important. Reuniting with God occurs when all Jews are keeping Torah (the law) faithfully all at the same time. Since his girlfriend is not Jewish, her experience is irrelevant to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Try being an atheist (the only "open" one at that) since day one in this forum...
