I don't know why religion can stop two people from being together. Just because two people happen to be born in different religions.
Well its to each his own i guess. I am not saying religion is the only factor but i do realise that later in life the differences even other than religious ones get magnified tenfold and its much much more challenging to counter them then in an ordinary marriage. I never said there won't be successful interfaith marriages but those are rare and that stays a fact. The choice is obviously yours.
