I gots a nü gurlfriend

On the whole sex-before-marriage thing ,some people don't even see it as a sin, but more of a personal choice. And who the fuck cares, so long as I don't have to deal with that jive. I'm all for banging before wedding. I want to try on the shoes before I buy them, what the hell. Some people just don't think it's necessary, or fair, or right....or whatever.

I would not, however, date someone who had vastly different views on faith than me. I am an atheist, and it shows in a lot of my perspectives. I wouldn't want to chose someone that would have a major clash with me in the long run. I am thinking mostly of having children here, as religion wouldn't really affect anything I have going in my life here and now.

Though I find religious zealots 100% unattractive.

I could probably deal with a Christian, Jew, Muslim or Buddhist, provided they're kind of half-assed about it, and wouldn't preach to me about it.

EDIT: I wrote this as though Bahamuty's post was the OP.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you're talking about me. ;_;

I'm not intolerant of religious folks. I'm really, really not.

I just don't want my partner's morals and ethics coming from a completely different place than where I get mine.

I don't see why it's wrong of me to chose to be with someone who is similar to me in religious beliefs (or lack thereof). I'm not in the game to goof off - I'm 25, and I want to get cooking, here.

Like I said - I could deal with mild Christians who casually believe in the Bible or whatever, but I could never deal with someone who mentioned the stuff more than twice a week.

And since I'm looking to start a family at some point, I'm a little more serious about my search for a partner. I don't want someone who will impress their religious beliefs on my kids. That's ust a fuckfest waiting to happen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Only life is so much more complicated than you can wrap up in a forum post.

Why couldn't you just date, have a good time together, and not worry about it now?

I mean, unless you're looking for a lifetime partner kind of thing and KNOW it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
