Would any of you atheist/agnostic date anyone of another a religion? What if they believed in a religion but weren’t religous?
Would any of you religous people date an atheist/agnostic or anyone outside of your faith?
oh yeah mention if you are a male or female and why/why not.
Personally, I have to blend in to avoid persecution. I don’t really like people(I like philosophers though) and am really phony with everyone to get what I want. What about you guys?
I’ve been with my girlfriend for seven years. The theism/religion thing was the very first issue (well, second - she’s hot - that was first) I had to get out of the way before I considered a serious relationship. Basically, when you’re talking about something as central and fundamental as a worldview, it’s important to at least be somewhat on the same page.
Would I ever get involved with someone whom I disagreed with on this level? It would depend on the person, I suppose. But, overall, I suspect the answer is no. While that might sound prejudiced, it’s not much different than if I were to say I wouldn’t date someone who didn’t share my sense of humor, or my taste in movies. There’s just some things I’d rather agree upon before getting started.
My husband and I were raised different religions and we consider it to have been better for our children. We are pretty open minded tho’ so maybe we don’t count. Twenty years ago, I would have told you to NEVER marry outside your faith because of the confusion, but now that I look at my children’s tolerant and open view of faith - it is good. Very good.
ooops. You said dating, not marriage. My answer? Why not? If I had answered like Phaedrus, I am sure that I would be looked upon as a woman of questionable values. Men.
