LordReed:Must I marry a drunkard? It doesn't matter how the benefits of alcohol is promoted. Those who drink wouldn't see anything wrong with drinking. So is the issue of Religion. Must I marry an atheist? It doesn't matter how you promote atheism. Those who are Atheists will not see anything wrong with atheism. So is the issue of Religion. Interestingly, doctrine is not really discussed with Children even in the Christian settings. You learn the stories about bible characters and the lessons to be gleaned from their actions and relationship with God. It takes someone who has some measure of intellectual maturity usually at teenage age to begin to take small doses of doctrines. Where multiple gods are worshipped, religion wouldn't matter with respect of marriage. Monotheistic religions from inception has not hidden the fact that you can't just marry anyone |

budaatum:Do you know that sometimes, some animals have been found to show mercy to their captives? Does it mean that God is in their hearts? By earthly standards, some Atheists can be good and kind. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with God (Atheists too will support this argument). Within man is his spirit from where his conscience operate. Gods spirit is different from man's spirit. Only those who believe on His name has the power of sonship of God. In this, the Atheist doesn't qualify one bit |

shadeyinka: The particular atheist who opened this thread is as much for Christ as you are for Christ's opposite, and many with eyes to see have already told you so and many more will continue to come here to tell you so for as long as this thread lives.

Stop trying to wasting my time as you are wont to to often do, for we both know you will refuse to see, and argue that you are right till Kingdom Come, but [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013&version=NIV]In you, Shadeyinka, is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah[/url]: “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For your heart has become calloused; you hardly hear with your ears, and you have closed your eyes. Otherwise you might see with your eyes, hear with your ears, understand with your heart and turn and be healed by Christ". |

Hello all... I mentioned earlier in the thread that my wedding anniversary is in a few days. Well, today, my lovely wife and I celebrated our 7th year wedding anniversary. Yes, I remain a true atheist, and she remains a professed christian. Waking up this morning, my wife held my hand and said a short prayer. While she was at it, i was silent, looking at her and smiling joyfully. When she finished and said "Amen", i told her i love her. She said she loved me too. Surprised an atheist allow his wife hold his hand when she prayed ![]() You see, mutual respect is key. Even if you think your belief (or unbelief) is correct, respect the other's belief (or unbelief), and allow him/ her express it. Where possible, even make room for the expression of this belief (or unbelief). Do not force the other to accept your views. (belief or unbelief). Troubles brew when you insist you are right and the other is wrong. Trouble brew when you belittle the other person or trample on the views that he/ her treasures. Trouble brew when you try to push your views on the other. Some here have wondered why I say so little. it is because i really cannot stand the intolerance here (Sorry if this comes out wrong). Trust me, the Atheist me have stayed happily married to my Christian wife because we learned early to sweep off intolerance. My rice and beans comparison has been mentioned by some as too simplistic.... but that is actually how it is to us. We've seen our belief differences as a difference in taste. In fact, it is one reason it has worked out for us. For example, because i love rice and my wife love beans, i may not eat beans, but that does not mean i'll insist my wife also not eat beans. And it does not mean i will not buy a beans meal for my wife. As for our little girl, like i said earlier, we teach her how to think, not what to think. Yes, we give her rice, and we give her beans, letting her know rice is daddy's love and beans is mummy's love. "We" is highlighted for emphasis. Daddy does not shove his views down her throat, and mummy does not do that either. Trust me, the little girl knows more about Mummy's sky daddy and his supposedly holy book than most children her age. She just is not indoctrinated. Yes, she also knows the cracks in the sky-daddy tale (at least those her little brain can comprehend). Once again, happy anniversary to my Atheist self and my lovely Christian wife 3 Likes 1 Share |

budaatum:See how you twisted the truth. One who rejects God and His Christ has now become to you the faithful and obedient servant. May your eyes be open! In the name of love: Would you encourage your daughter to marry an unrepentant gambler? Will you encourage your daughter to marry a religious fanatic? Will you encourage your daughter to marry a gigolo? Yes I think you will after all they love one another! |

eomajeh: Happy anniversary to your Atheist self and your lovely Christian wife. Seven years of blessings will follow the seven years of blessings you have already had and seven more will follow plus seven more years and seven more and for as long as the Lord gives the both of you upon this earth. And even then shall a string of many seven years continue with your blessed daughter for ever and ever. Amen. |

shadeyinka: Will I encourage my daughter to marry an unrepentant gambler, a religious fanatic, or a gigolo? No, I will not encourage her to. I will show her the dangers inherent in marrying a chronic gambler, a fanatic, or a gigolo. However, at the end of the day, it is her choice. I will not encourage it simply because they love one another ![]() Yes, I married my wife because I love her. But i loved her because she is a good person. In an earlier post, i said when i set out to get a wife, i looked for a good person. I did not jump into the emotive boat, and then rationalize away the waves. Chronic gambling, fanaticism, and gigolo-ism (if i may) are not elements that should be found in my definition of a good person. This does not mean that good persons should be flawless. I teach my daughter to use her head before being consumed (not just love). 1 Like 2 Shares |

eomajeh:This is more like the position of Christians 1. True Christians are discouraged from marrying non true Christians even if such are pastors or choir masters 2. However, Christians who had found themselves already married to a non-believing spouse cannot divorce them based on this except the unbelieving spouse sought for a divorce. 3. Any Christian ALREADY married to a non-believing spouse must love and Obey them as unto Christ. 4. Any Christian ALREADY married to a non-believing spouse must do her best to prayerfully salvage her predicament especially with respect to her children. Love is important in marriage, but many other things such as character, trust, dependability and for a Christian love for God are more important! |

LordReed:LOL! So, you believed in hearsay!? You should have confirmed as a reasonable somebody! LOL!! But this Coming from the heart and mouth of one who desperatly want to marry a woman is a true Christian. Your morality is highly questionable if your desire and advocation is to marry someone who TRUELY holds in highest esteem a confirmed narcissist and murderer of babies! Mr LordReed, Your morality is highly QUESTIONABLE! Can you justify this behaviour of yours!? |

HellVictorinho:It reminds me of the parable of the vehicles where the vehicles protested vehemently of their right to self existence because the engineers and mechanics turn some vehicles into scrap and also remove vehicle parts for no apparent reason. These engineers don't have MORALS was their conclusion. LOL! And you seem to have the same school of thought! I didn't know that the bible says that aborted babies are going to hell! Too bad if this is what you consider as your objective truth. However, it still doesn't CHANGE anything as you don't matter one tiny little bit. Why should ordinary coalition of star dust worry about morality. Some certain kinds of Star dusts may be perfect for making furnace linings! |

LordReed:Your argument all along with me was to OPPOSE my take that true Christians shouldn't ever marry Atheists like you. Your morality is still highly questionable if your desire and advocation for Atheists like you is to marry someone who TRUELY holds in highest esteem a confirmed narcissist and murderer of babies! Mr LordReed, Your morality is highly QUESTIONABLE! Can you justify this behaviour of yours!? |
Re: How Can The Atheist Me Be Happily Married To My Christian Wife? See My REPLY by LordReed(m): 9:19am On Mar 24, 2021 |
shadeyinka: You have not made it known what morality has to do with this. People's beliefs are not what makes them marriageable or not (which BTW is my point), it's their actions, so if the person is not immoral what is the point of your questionable question? |
Re: How Can The Atheist Me Be Happily Married To My Christian Wife? See My REPLY by shadeyinka(m): 9:26am On Mar 24, 2021 |
LordReed:I changes nothing! I am focusing on you as a person. With your kind of view against God, it cast a huge doubt on whether you have any kind of morals or not. For emphasis, Your morality highly questionable if your desire and advocation for Atheists like you is to marry someone who TRUELY holds in highest esteem a confirmed narcissist and murderer of babies! Why should any reasonable moral being advocate a union with any human being who TRUELY holds in HIGHEST esteem a confirmed confirmed narcissist and murderer of babies? You can answer this question! |
Re: How Can The Atheist Me Be Happily Married To My Christian Wife? See My REPLY by LordReed(m): 9:40am On Mar 24, 2021 |
shadeyinka: I don't need belief in god to adhere to a system of morality, all moral systems are human made anyway. My morality is not in question because you don't know me, you only know that I don't believe in your narcissistic god. The beliefs in your head means nothing to me, your actions however are way more important. My wife doesn't go around killing babies because she believes in a narcissistic god who does, that is what is important. So again you have no point in bringing up my morality. |
