I am Catholic and he is Hindu...what to do?

[Philomath]

Here is a quote from Shirdi SaiBaba’s wikipedia page: “He was revered by both his Muslim and Hindu devotees, and during and well as after his life on earth it remained uncertain if he was a Muslim or Hindu himself.” So if I say Jesus is an incarnation of some Hindu God, then he becomes relevant?

I agree we should not discuss this here anymore

Sure you can make that claim, but Jesus never said that he was an Incarnation of any Deva. I also doubt that he even knew of the Devas. Saying that in my opinion just leads to a lot of confusion.

Shirdi Saibaba did not claim to be an incarnation of anyone either. I am sure Jesus knew a lot more than he told his followers and that probably included the knowledge of Hindu Gods.

Wow! I had no idea my question would spark such a discussion! Thank you all so much for taking the time to comment.

As of right now, I have decided to make sure we only remain friends. One of my problems is that I have a difficult time “letting go, and getting God” as they say; I want something to be perfect and to be my way. Part of the issue is that I do suffer from a great deal of depression, and any sort of attention makes me happy. I really do not have many friends at the moment, and those I do have…live in other countries lol.

I just need to pray that God leads me to the right man if it be His will. And I will also pray for my friend. He truly is a good man, and does not deserve to be pulled into a situation where I am so uneasy and uncertain.

Thank you all again. You are all in my prayers.

God bless

I have friends where the wife is a Catholic and the husband is a Hindu - so such marriages can be successful. However, in this case both are Indians. I think the differences between a Hindu in India and a Catholic woman in the US maybe too many to handle for either of you. In any case, I don’t understand how you can be in love with someone who you have not even met. I think you should forget about it until you are at least 25.

Now I will admit I have a problem with one thing. The never met thing. I don’t think anyone should even think about marriage until they dated and spent alot of time together.

Age does not matter to me, over 18 you should have common sense by then although you are probally not real mature yet. But again depends on the person.

But I also think there has to be a physical attraction also. It does not mean the person has to be beautiful, but they must have a sexual attraction to one another also. Because even though in this county sex is all you hear about, it is not taught in the right way.

Just like you must have things in common and can fall in love, the physical outside of someone matters also.

Like what is good looking to you is not to me vice-versa.

But you need both. And like myself on this internet. People could read what I write night and day but not truly know me, my moods. Am I fun, a stick in the mud. etc.

By the way in case you are wondering I am pretty fun! Live to LAUGH!! ALOT!

But you know how you meet someone and God forgive me for saying this but you just can’t stand them. Its not their fault or anything but they can get on your last nerve. And for no good reason either. It just happens.

Thats kinda what I am talking about anyhow. Just personality clashes that you just can’t help. Or when a person has certain ticks. Maybe clearing their throat all the time. or tapping their fingers. Tapping their foot, hundreds of things. Its not their fault its yours and drives your C R A Z Y!

Or never finds humor in anything. DRY as TOAST! What I am saying is the Toast people need to be with the Toast people.

I suggest against it. Its not worth the problems that crop up later on. Trust in God and He will send someone along.

Mind you…I speak from personal experience.
