Girls, myself, and religion apparently can't mix

I don't think I'd ever want to date a religious girl. I don't see how it's something you can overlook in a relationship. Every week when she goes to church and you don't, that's a reminder of the difference in views between the two of you.

I've considered dating some church girls, because you find attractive and pleasant people who are christians just as often as you find ones who are not, but I don't think it would be fair to either of us. My current girlfriend is just like me, completely atheistic. Somewhat openminded, but not likely to partake of organised religion in any form.

I'm in full agreement with most of what Sass said, including the part where she said that there are more moderate christians out there. I'm not saying it can't work, I'm just saying that I prefer to choose an atheist partner, and cut out the possibility of dischord.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think there really are (or should be) different rules. I don't actually have any Christian friends right at the moment, but that's not by design. I could potentially have some Christian friends I don't know about, because they just never talk about it. That's the rule between friends; don't make it an issue.

When I have had Christian friends, they knew that there was one simple way to keep things conflict free. Do not prosyletise to me, and I will not say anything negative about your faith in return. That's necessary. It is about respect.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
