Should Religion Interfere In Love And Romance? by Phate07(m): 7:04pm On Jan 19, 2011 |
Iran has just banned the production of Valentine day gift items. Why? 'Cos its against their Islamic laws. So my question is this: Should Religion be allowed to interfer in the matters of love and romance? Is love not sacred enough to be above such mundane things? Now, if you happened to be in Iran, with your loved one, on the 14th of Feb, what would you do?

Hmmm i'd like to say no but the reality is that man cannot live by love alone. Religion to most religious people is a way of life. I would be pleased to be in Iran on that date. |

What's the importance? A day that you love someone more than normal days? |

nonsense!!!! men and women should be in their VALENTINE mood everyday of they year rather than 1 day a year so i say to hell with 14th of feb, if anyone needs this phoney love day to show their appreciation to their loved ones. as for religion and love. everyone should decide the factors in their life that would drive their union. . . . . .whether it be religion, money, sex or whatever craziness people base their love upon. |

@ Topic Religion is supposed to be a way of life so yes, it should interfere with everything in your life . . . including romance! Phate07: When you are in Rome, you behave like the Romans! |

iice: Nope, a day set aside to celebrate love! |

MRbrownJAY: i always say that why should i be reminded by a date on the calendar and besides nothing is special when everyone is doing it on the same day |

Unfortunately, religion has already controlled 3/4 of what we do on an everyday basis. White wedding dress/Christian marriage for example is no different. Infact Valentines day is names after a Saint (Catholicism/Christianity) which on a religious scale I can see why Islamic countries may have a problem. It's all foolishness to me. I think love is universal and should be expressed regardless of and separate from religion (although I am not into valentine's day myself however showing love <<<< i don't see the crime in that, I guess the fact that it is a Christian thing is the crime.) but apparently most ppl don't see it the way I do. I don't think God or Allah has a problem with a man buying his woman chocolate and a bouquet of roses! I mean come on. Change the name of the holiday if its that big of a deal. |

ZIM DRILL: well said. . . . . . . . . . or when it is "expected" of your partner. |

Since Valentine's day appears to be irrelevant, shouldn't it be banned altogether? |
Re: Should Religion Interfere In Love And Romance? by ZIMDRILL(m): 7:56pm On Jan 21, 2011 |
Phate07: there is no need to ban it eg christian countries allow muslim, hebrews, etc to do their religion tradition |

Ujujoan: Why shouldn't everyday be a celebration of love? |
Re: Should Religion Interfere In Love And Romance? by Phate07(m): 3:28am On Jan 22, 2011 |
iice: Celebrate love everyday? Now, that would be very boring. |
Re: Should Religion Interfere In Love And Romance? by iice(f): 3:36am On Jan 22, 2011 |
Boring how? That the person knows you love them? Or that love is boring itself? Do you receive chocolates only on Vals day? Do you do dinner dates only on Vals day? |
Re: Should Religion Interfere In Love And Romance? by Phate07(m): 4:09am On Jan 22, 2011 |
Love in its entirety is very boring. Imaging doing Christmas(ie tryna be a Christian) every day. |
Re: Should Religion Interfere In Love And Romance? by iice(f): 10:45am On Jan 22, 2011 |
Don't let the religious ones hear you Tryna be a christian indeed lol. Anyway, to each his own. Some would disagree that Love is an exciting thing. |

valentines day has nothing to do with actual love and romance, its a commercial stint. Iran have done well to banish western influences, it is very poisonous to young minds. But in answer to your question, no religion should not mix with love- its a personal practice (unless your a muslim) thats why muslims are always in each ithers business! |

heh the only true winners on valentine's day are retailers capitalism has turned valentine's day, xmas, easter, thanksgiving etc into an orgy of consumerism |
