Religon in Dating

I agree with Lee-chan on those casual believers. They seem to take a pretty convenient approach to something one should either take seriously or just leave alone. It also says a lot about what kind of commitment such a person is willing to make to a supposely large aspect of her personal life.

Now, since I'm an atheist, I'm not getting along very will with all-out believers (at least not on such an intimate level) and I have to say, I'd really prefer a partner who shares my profound disbelieve instead of someone with the aforementioned "commitment issues".

So it's "no" for me here and I might add that I'm speaking out of varried expierences.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I beg to differ. A person actually abiding seriously to the teachings attributed to Jesus of Nazareth and the basic moral code from the Old Testament (read: the Ten Commandments) would qualify as a peaceful individual that wouldn't dream of harming anyone. Theocracies like Iran or the atrocities commited by the Catholic church for instance are more based on outright hypocricy than on any spiritual doctrine whatsoever.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If that's just a wrong interpretation, why aren't there exploding zealots based on the Bible or other sacred texts? Yes, there have been crazy cults before... but nothing that inspires a "War on Terror"! :/

Well you lost the bet stupid, congratulations for offending approx. 1.5 billion people. As for the Bible and its respective faith: I'm sure a US president bent to the will of his country's christian right, who actually makes use of the word "crusade" in the 21st century and severely threatens world peace with an aggresive, war inciting policy is disturbing enough.


Btw, wasn't this about relationships? Slash didn't want this "which religion is worse?" thing, let's respect that, shall we?

How ya doing, buddy?

Good one ... had me scrambling for the ban rules right away. :doh:
