Relationships are tough anyway. I have yet to be with a woman, in any type of romantic relationship, that did not believe in a god. That being said, marriage is a big commitment and if children will be involved it could be a flashpoint for disagreements. I think that differences of thoughts and opinions are important. Never dated a atheist or agnostic woman before, but I certainly have had great connections and love with women who believed in their gods. Anything is possible if both parties are emotionally mature and have chemistry.

Keep her as a fuck buddy and make sure she is on birth control as well as using protection...

Check and make sure she is not militant Christian like the evangelical Christians

I personally would not have a huge problem with it as long as I was not pressured to practice. I don't mind and, in fact, enjoy discussing the stories offered up in the Bible. But that is as far as I go. All that said, I think a devout capital "C" Christian might have a problem since clearly we would not be "equally yoked" so says the Bible.

I always say if your faith in something makes you a better person, and you are happy with your beliefs,, by all means do what is best for you. I have no desire to command you to think like me or to order your submission to my ideas you are entitled to think what you wish.

No because there is a large ugly part of me that can't get over the feeling that people who delude themselves into believing in any religion are sad and pathetic.

It worked for me, but there are Christians and Christians. My wife identified as Anglican when we met. Her parents and siblings were quite devout; she much less so. She persuaded me to let our two children attend Sunday School, but that didn't last long: our son in particular couldn't stand it. So it ended without our having (much of) a fight over it. Now she doesn't even attend church herself. I think she is basically agnostic now, although she would probably hesitate to use the word to describe herself.

Only because there's too little non believers to chose from

I wouldn't. I can't tolerate their ideas and conservative views on sexuality. Unless she belongs to a very liberal church.

I don't believe in marriage

Have a lot of great sex with her but don't merry her.

Why would you not?

never again!

I think the bigger question is how we communicate. There always going to be differences in opinions and values. It’s how they are handled that makes the difference.

Yes
I have no issues with it
I’ve done it in the past and it’s been fine
I have many religious friends in every religion out there.
What’s the big deal?

Never. My three marriages were to: 1 & 2 indifferent, and 3 atheist. Still couldn’t make it work. Being at direct odds with beliefs is too much of a strike against from the get.

Been there, done that. There were issues in the marriage but religion wasn't one of them. One of my best friends of 30 years is a devout Xian. It's not a problem there either. If everyone just agrees to disagree and doesn't make an issue of it, it can be done.

No...! When the children come he/she will want them baptized, go to christian school, church. Their family will ostracize you and give the other half ill advice against you, the heretic monster

I don't want to die alone. There are some very attractive christains. In course of the relationship, you might get them to leave the dark side and begin a journey of enlightenment.

Nope. Nope. Nope. [images.app.goo.gl]

Too late.

Maybe if not evangelical right wing nut job

I did. He was born again! We divorced, but not because of that. (He was a serial cheatet!)

i am already engaged and not to a christian, but if i were available -- i don't think i would ever be in a position to wonder whether to marry a christian. i mean, there are people who call themselves christian but all it means is that their families were somehow affiliated with a denomination and celebrated christmas, and then there are people who are actively christian. maybe the former, yeah? definitely not the latter -- but no such christian would ever fall in love with me. i'm too snarky.

I did 53 years ago. I married the person, not her religion and she understood that. Over the years, she has lost most of her faith, mostly due to seeing how Christians treated me and how they treat each other. I, of course, still think religion is superstition.
