If you were a non believer?

Yes, but you need to post a LOT more details. Some religious people hardly ever talk about it, and others are suicide bombers. Whether it's a yes or not kinda depends.

It depends. A born again snake handler or a rational, spiritual believer? There's a big difference.

It would depend on the religion, and the level of indoctrination.
Not looking to be involved with any fanatics. |

"Religious"?
Do you mean she actually practices what she believes? Meaning, no deposits for you until marriage? Is that what you're getting at? But, she also shows the love, compassion, devotion and kindness of Christ? A woman who is truly Christ-like would be hard to resist believer or not. |

Equally yoked comes to mind here View Quote Correct.... In the long term it will become an issue if she is serious about her faith. A choice will have to be made by you or her if this gets serious. A good Christian woman will want a man who loves and is submitted to the Lord. Can you fill those shoes? |

Been "unequally yoked" to a christian woman for 24 years, I'm a heathen that was raised by wolves, and a faithless wretch.
It has been the source of more conflict than anything else in our marriage. I would have been gone many years ago except for the kids. Both of us thought we would change the other. We were both stupid on that account. Would have divorced long ago but we had kids. So we made it work. As time has gone on she has gotten more faithful and involved in the church. I'm still the same faithless wretch but I have learned not to try to change her. If she was raised in it and hasn't lost her faith she is probably gonna always be the same. If you cant accept that, then run. Oh yeah, don't think faith makes a good person. My wife is sure as shit is not perfect and many of the biggest assholes I have ever known were folks she knew from church. If your saved and going to heaven anyhow, might as well do anything you want, right? you know, cause jesus is picking up that tab. |

as long as she keeps her religion to herself, doesn't talk about it and doesn't try to make me her "cause". and "puts out". screaming "OH GOD" I'll have no problem with
as for marriage; fuck no on any account. be she atheist, christian, hindu etc... etc... I don't need to go trough that psycho drama ever again, once was enough. "bitches be crazy" |

Quoted:
If you were a non believer? View Quote When I met my wife I was only looking for a Protestant Christian who lived her faith...was conservative and liked big dogs, the outdoors and shooting. The bible makes reference to being "unequally yoked"...there is a good reason for that...if your fundamental beliefs are far apart...there will be strife. |

When I was in flight school in Tulsa I knocked the bottom out of ORU students. There were some freaky chicks at that religious school.

Truly religious? No.
Goes to church to wash her weekly sins? Yes. |
|
Quoted:
Never again. No fucking way. Uh uh...no...nope, no... no. View Quote This. I made the mistake of marrying one once. While we were dating/engaged, religion didn't seem to paly a very important role in her life. She would rarely attend services, especially if she had schoolwork due or just about any other plans. But, once she decided she didn't want to be married any longer, my lack of willingness to go to church was apparently a big issue. Of course, she and her family didn't like it when I pointed out their hypocrisy to them. |

Quoted:
If you were a non believer? View Quote I am an atheist. My policy is that so long as she doesn't browbeat me with it (trying to "save" me) I wouldn't go to church with her but I'd get the coffee and donuts ready for her church friends while they were at mass. Being an atheist doesn't mean I'm an anti-theist. So long as your beliefs lead you to being a better person we can exist together. |

I guess it also depends on definitions. It is easy to believe in Christ and still not follow him. Much harder to follow and not be a descipls. I tend to think religious live their faith

Yes they prefer anal and lots of blow jobs so they keep their virginity.

Probably not a good idea if you want a stable, long-term relationship. She's going to have different expectations than you are.
|
|
Depends on just how religious she is...religion is ok as long as its not over the top IMO.
|
|
I'm quite adamant about not being religious and my girlfriend, that I am serious with, is a very devout Catholic. We don't talk about it much and simply enjoy each other as people outside of the spiritual realm. We are both conservatives and musicians so we have other things to talk about.

As long as she ain't a "religious nut job." And, like it or not....some religions are not compatible with American values.....so, they are out. More importantly.....is she gonna vote for Hillary?
Aloha, Mark |

Depended on how religious. I know some people who it really is like a drug for them. Others just include it as a part of their lives on Sunday and when making moral decisions.

I had an interesting conversation with a small class of kids in my school the other day. These kids, a class of about 8, are in this class with me every other day to get help getting grades up, and trying to get them to care about getting an education and make better decisions. My job is to build relationships with them, talk about life, consequences for bad decisions, stuff like that.
Last week showed them drop out stats. One leading cause of high school drops outs is teen pregnancy. I mentioned birth control, and how I have always found it interesting that so many women will refuse birth control with sex BECAUSE IT VIOLATED THEIR RELIGION. Now, I believe in birth control, or at least condoms and the pill......But, if a woman is about to have SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE, is she not committing a sin right there? So then who gives a shit about birth control. "Sorry, I do not believe in birth control because of my religious beliefs.....but I will go ahead and screw your brains out at 20 years old while drunk at a party because my God is ok with THAT sin? I said it much different than that. More cleanly......But I made the point to them that if their religion frowns on birth control maybe they should also care about how it feels towards premarital sex. Flame away...... |

I tried it and it didn't work. She was a sweet heart but she wanted a spiritual man of the household. She also admitted to speaking in tongues so I was a bit weirded out.

I have in the past and would again....
Dated a Mormon girl when I lived in Missoula in the 90's... Mid 2000's I dated a Catholic woman for the better part of a year. |
