Wow! Nice thread. There are loads of issues we can discuss in-house. Was thinking of starting a thread about certain things but decided against it; since the obvious religious felas will invade it with their fanaticism. nana228: This is the first issue bugging me: My girlfrnd. We've dated for yrs now and we're planning on getting married next year. But one thing has always lingered in my mind: religion! I'm agnostic but she is a devout christian. We started dating long time ago when I was still a christian; but after my mum's death, I realized all the promise of ask and it shall be given were false. That was the spark to my quest for answers: and I discovered I've been lied to ALL MY FVCKING LIFE! I was supposed to see her parents this xmas but I developed cold feet and called it off. I'm yet to tell her I've left religion; she's yet to understand why I backed-off. Don't get me wrong, we love each other like mad! This is our 4th year dating. I do love her but the issue of spending the rest of your life with someone of contrasting believe scares the shit out of me; what happens to the children? What if she believes she can rope me in and then turns to a nag thereafter? I know I should tell her, but I'm still scared of loosing her. I wouldn't want her dumping her religion because of me so its kind of complicated. What do you guys think? |
Re: Atheists, Agnostics, Deists And Liberals And Freethinkers Lets Meet Here. by johnydon22(m): 9:20pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
simplex2: I understand you so well, Bro i think you should talk to her your love should transcend religion. Tell her exactly what you are and your stance on religion. But If u eventually marry her it will be good to wed her in the church since its her belief the only that matters is that the marriage certificate have been signed and you two love each other. But first talk to her |

I really want to get married to a man that is not religious, you know one of the advantages of marrying an atheist hubby is that he will worship only you, I will don't want to share his attention with an imaginary god. 6 Likes |

simplex2: I also think that you need to speak to her. It's only fair, and if you are patient and cautious she may start asking questions as well. You probably wouldn't have a problem with her belief if it were low-key and she's not being a pest about it? If this doesn't work, then i guess it's realistic to say that such a marriage wouldn't work well. The only way to find out though is getting into a respectful dialogue. 1 Like |
Re: Atheists, Agnostics, Deists And Liberals And Freethinkers Lets Meet Here. by simplex2: 10:28pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
Liekiller: Yes, I know I should speak with her first; infact, that was the major reason I backed out of the supposed intro last year. I'm just not certain of the outcome. I can't risk losing her for something as false and irrelevant as religion. I just wish she sees things the way I do. I've tried to discuss it indirectly with her but the direction the discussion takes makes me to withdraw. I don't rob it in people's face that I'm agnostic; I don't even dabble into religious arguments offline. I let people hug whatever rocks their boat. I just wish there's a way I'd make her understand the fraud in religion without making it look like the only option for her if we'd spend the rest of our lives together. |

Liekiller:You think? Believe me if she's the type who feels her religion supercedes every other they may have problems, no matter the speaking to simplex2 may do. What I've discovered about these christians, nope! I'll call them church goers is that they believe in absolutes!. Its either their way or no other way. Simplex2, if she's been pestering you about why you stopped going to church rest assured that even if you guys get married, religion will still be an issue and she might take your case to her pastor who in turn may feed her his version of Sunday tonic which she'll bring to your face. My advice to you is to stand firm in what you believe in, and always trust your feelings.... |
Re: Atheists, Agnostics, Deists And Liberals And Freethinkers Lets Meet Here. by Liekiller(f): 10:33pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
simplex2: This is not an easy situation at all, sorry. Do you think she is generally willing and able to think outside the box of what she has been indoctrinated with, provided that you explain your reasons and why it is a fraud very well? |

anssy:Are you serious? Please don't get it miscontrue, atheist defer, don't kid yourself that when you marry an atheist he'll worship only you because it'll shock you. Its a known fact that many Nigerian men cheat on their wives, in fact they see it as almost normal, and majority of these men are church goers, when it comes to sex many don't let their religious conviction deprive them of it. If you really want to know a man who will worship only you, is very simple, when you're dating, if he doesn't cheat on you, then there's a high probability that he won't when you guys are married, but if he cheats on you, then, rest assured he'll cheat on you when you're maRried. 1 Like |

joseph1832: Oh i totally do agree with you. It's just that he doesn't want to lose her, so they at least can try to sort it out. From what i've seen i also have huge doubts that she'd understand it and not make a fuss about it. But then again what other way is there than to talk? Should it end due to this then at least both know why. |

simplex2:tell her. if she's not okay with that then the marriage's not gonna work. give her reason why you consider religion a fraud; who knows she may be convinced into believing u. ![]() 1 Like |
