As An Atheist Or A Freethinker.....? by Nobody: 12:57pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
Okay... Good Afternoon N'Landers. I've had this question nagging my mind for quite a while now. I'm a Christian, a catholic by birth and by choice. I've seen people, here on N'Land, who say they don't believe in the existence of God or religion. Like these people are neither Christians nor muslims. Personally, I've got nothing against nobody; atheist or muslim, and I haven't had the opportunity of meeting anybody who's a freethinker. So I'm directing this nagging question to them atheists on-here. As an atheist or a freethinker, where would you get married, like where would you wed your wife? |

Reyginus:I was expecting someone to say that. As a lady, I know most ladies won't settle for just court wedding, we all want something grand, you know. |
Re: As An Atheist Or A Freethinker.....? by Nobody: 1:21pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
Reyginus: Exactly. Some of us, myself inclusive, would have no problems with church wedding. Were it not for my animosity towards Islam, I might have no problems getting married the islamic way. |

I see no problem getting married in the church if my wife wants it. At least, it is just for a few hours. 4 Likes |

In UK, castles are popular, if you are after grandness". There are also dedicated venues in areas of natural beauty, if you are after romance. Not all women are the same. Some like the splash of a public wedding with every tom, dick and harry invited. Others prefer the warmth of a close circle of friends. Some will be disappointed if it rains, others will seize the opportunity to feel the cheer, good will and support of their loyal guests. (I would never marry a religious woman, though! ![]() |

even if u are a xtian or Muslim, must u wed in d church or mosque? is it written anywhere in d bible dat it must take place in d church? jes asking |
Re: As An Atheist Or A Freethinker.....? by Nobody: 2:39pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
AfricanApple:You seem to be picking the wrong idea here. I'm not asking because it's a must for every christian or muslim to wed in the church or mosque-even though most do, I'm asking because it's a question I need an answer to. And just so you know, it's written in the bible that a man weds his wife, it's called 'Holy Matrimony' (though I can't quote the particular bible verse and chapter-not much of a bible reader- but I know its there. |

MzPreshie:Okay. |
Re: As An Atheist Or A Freethinker.....? by AfricanApple(f): 3:17pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
MzPreshie:u rather got me wrong. since u said its not a must dat a xtian weds in d church, then I don't see d need for your question cos there are a number of places one could wed but wait o, is your guy a freethinker? or u planning to become one? ![]() |

MzPreshie: It is not a must for us to get married. However i had mine in Las Vegas. |
Re: As An Atheist Or A Freethinker.....? by sinequanon: 7:24pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
herald9: For me, a woman who even says she is religious is a big NO! So, pretend religious or for real religious, it's no way. |

Marriage is overrated. 2 Likes |

MzPreshie: I'll only get married because of the legal implications. I think those wedding vows you do in church are uncalled for. So court wedding it is. We can have a mad reception after. |
Re: As An Atheist Or A Freethinker.....? by Nobody: 7:09am On Nov 15, 2014 |
finofaya:Hmmm... Alright. Thanks. |

Well,despite the fact that I'm an atheist, I solely believe in my culture and tradition. So if I'm gonna marry ( I honestly don't think I will tho) ,I will probably do a court and native ( I don't like the word traditional) wedding. But if my wife happens to be a xtian or Muslim and she wants the church or Islamic wedding, I don't have a prob with that. Afterall, its just for some few hours. It's all about understanding. |
