This doesn’t necessarily mean Christians, but any person who follow a particular organized religions, including Muslims and so on. Hahaha! I’d probably just stay single unless the person was very considerate and could accept me for me, but I know that’s very rare as that person would feel the need to save me from some type of punishment so they’d try to convert me.
Single...as I am Polyamorous it would present way too many spiritual challenges for someone who is religious...they would be torn between being free and feeling guilty for being free. Went through that with the last wife and she could never reconcile it...on one hand she loved her freedom but would constantly try to "save me"...from what ? She made no sense. She was a split personality and couldn't let go.
Dated a lot of Christian girls, one pagan. Since it is doomed from the start, I have no time for the nonsense anymore. They often say that they gave no problem with my nonbelief, but give it a few months and they are trying to drag me to church....and then comes the "unequally yoked" speech.
I'm not into settling at all. I have Christian friends that I'm comfortable with. They are not Evangelistic or holier-than-thou. I instinctively feel that they really do not swallow all the myths but choose to use the church as a vehicle for standards and a few good works. If I were attracted to any of them, I think it might work out quite well. I would naturally prefer someone with similar beliefs. Everyone wants to be part of their own tribe.
I gave up on match and came here for exactly that reason. At every level they all seem to want to push the agenda. But I do not want to be alone either, thanks to this place I am not now Hold out. You will get what you want, not just pieces of it.
You are giving me hope. Thank you
A lesbian following any of the Abrahamic religions (and a few others as well) has too high a likelihood of being too full of religion-based self-loathing over her own sexuality for me to be able to connect with.
Stay single!! Sheesh! It's hard enough learning to get along with another person in close proximity, even if you agreed on religion it would still be difficult. Why throw in that unneeded obstacle on top of it all?
I couldn't listen to them praise a supernatural being all the time. So no can't be with a religious person.
I wouldn’t consider it “settling” if I ended up in a relationship with a religious person. I am totally open to pretty much anyone’s faith. If they can accept my agnostic/atheistic point of view, I can totally accept theirs. My goal is not to change anyone’s spiritual/religious/philosophical weltanschauung. I don’t know who is right, which is the correct god, the correct spirituality, correct philosophy. This debate has probably been going on since language was invented. So a few thousand years give or take a half a millennia. So who am I to judge. I live and let live as much as I can. I enjoy deep discussions that aren’t about proving one point of view right or wrong but about delving deeper and perhaps coming closer to a truth we can all live with. We must each choose our own path and the consequences that come with that choice. Peace ?
I would settle for a nice person that happens to be religious.
I settle for a woman, not a religion, if her religion does not interfere with me or relationship.
Right!
Accept me and strong chance I'll accept you. For artistic/creative types this is the big one, to be accepted just as we are, many times that's not easy to do. As for a religious partner as long as they leave me out of it I could care less, just so long as they realize I will neither "come to Jesus" nor "find Allah".
Absolutely no way Jose. Not in a million years. I have had more than my share of drama and now consider myself a rabid anti-theist.
Stay single. I have a few non-religious friends who got married. Since neither spouse was religious they seemed to feel religion was not an issue. But then they had kids and the religion of their kids because very important. In some cases one spouse became a born-again-Christian which became a problem even without kids. It's very important to settle an approach to religion or no religion as a couple and with kids BEFORE getting married. My wife and I didn't have the discussion either but I (a non-Jew) didn't mind raising the kids Jewish. As it turned out we all have college degrees (most include post graduate degrees) and critical thinking won out and the four of us are all atheist or agnostic.
if you are with a woman and she starts bitching, tell her to go home to their own place. Most of them can't afford their own place. They are looking for sugar daddies.
