What if you marry somebody with a different religion?
Chief:
to have a successful relationship, you should have similar attitudes and values..
so two people that are dvout about differring religions, shouldnt be together in the first place.

I don't know why you said "should" there, but can two people not admire one another, even when they differ? It's not so much the difference between people that causes trouble, but a lack of acceptance, or ununifiable viewpoints. That's not necessarily the case when two people of different religions marry.

how the hell could you spend the rest of your life with someone purely fuelled by admiration for different attitudes and values?
so lets say you're muslim, your wife is catholic, you want to have more than one wife, and she wants to sink piss on weekends... how will that work?

Please call me a retard if that's what I am, but... You didn't put it that way in the post I quoted. You were talking about "to have a successful relationship" without specifically pointing out you were talking about religions with fundamentally ununifiable viewpoints. I simply stated that you don't necessarily need to have similar attitudes and values no matter what the case is. I can imagine a jew and a catholic perfectly getting along together. I can imagine a buddhist and a christian perfectly getting along together. However, you decided not to read this line:

(note: I said acceptance, as in tolerance.)
...Any thoughts actually related to my statement?
Sparegeez:
My mom is a Catholic and my stepdad is a Buddhist(Peruvian Buddhist :eh:) And they plan on teaching my lil baby sister both their religions. Then they let her decide what she believes in.
