there is entirely too many christian women in this country.also most judge atheist as vile creatures or have the "OH HELL NO" attitude towards atheist.i actually have no problem dating christian women i have a few times and our beliefs were never the reason it ended,but those are the few and i guess they have fell off the face of the earth.seriously wtf is wrong with dating an atheist?



i guess some may call this a "nice atheist"thread?

Maybe you're just looking in the wrong place? I think most people I know these days are either not religious at all, or not religious enough to let beliefs get in the way of dating.

true but they are very limited they don't actually meet "supply and demand" so to speak. basically you run out of those to email in like 5 minutes...lol.

It depends where you live. Maybe some people are not really religious but maybe they go through the motions but when they have a family and kids they may want them to go to church etc. Being married to an atheist would complicate things if that was the case.

I was going to suggest prisons.
But they probabaly find God faster
than anyone.
So, I am thinking nunneries.
The burn-outs maybe.

But judgemental people are everywhere
and their opinions are so much more
valuable than yours.

i guess closed mindedness is whats wrong with this world.well to each his own i guess

I guess when people venture outside their own beliefs to be with somebody with different beliefs (or none), I guess people find that the other will impose their thoughts on them which can conflict with what the other person believe. It can prove to be frictious between the two.

On the other hand to answer your question... I second what the woman above said.. Prisons would be a safe bet

i agree. i put agnostic on my profiles, but it seems that you have to have something to worship other than women in order to be dating material.
not all of us are bad. i grew up going to church and decided as an adult that i didn't completely go along with what i was exposed to. i still have morals and such. but you would think that because i don't believe in something, anything, that i'm some psychopathic murderer when i'm not busy being a responsible adult.
you don't have to be religious to know that treating people poorly is wrong.


. . .

Well, I can't speak for what women are like, as I am not looking for them to date. But I've had no problem finding guys who are not religious at all/or just not very religious. Religion very rarely even comes up in conversation. If it does, it happens right off the bat, so I know they're not for me.

prisons,thats funny cause they all become "born agains" or lesbians or both.

i don't know it just seems christians look down more on atheist than the other way around,atheist are just stepping up more cause of the way christians think of us,anyways save a christian ride an atheist

Yeah, RKISIT, I've been finding that too. They want to convert you, or want you to shut up and not speak to them about atheism.

Ahh, well, such is life. I'd rather be a single atheist then date a hypocritical Christian.

It is a nice atheist thread. There is so much to debate beside just religion. Believe me I have been married before. There is always politics, philosophy and who wears the pants in the family to just name a few.

Some christians look down on anyone who is not christian.

well let's be real here...some people prefer to be in a relationship where they can share similar beliefs. I don't think that is a bad thing

It goes both ways. There are Atheists and other beliefs that look at Christians in a bad way too and won't date them.

I have no problem being friends with others but in a relationship, I would like someone with similar interests (whether it's religion, politics, hobbies, etc)

Difference can be good because you can learn new things, too

LOL. You are an endless fount of amusement to me.

You want to "speak to them about atheism", but you don't want them to speak to you about Christianity?

I fixed your last sentence for you.

They are all going to hell. Just kidding.

Dating someone who has similar beliefs and a similar outlook on life makes the marriage easier, with less fighting and heartache. It's good advice for anyone of any religion to date and marry within their own religion, it eliminates a lot of the problems that could happen otherwise.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I am a Christian woman, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't treat an atheist or agnostic any different unless we were clashing because of it. If I were in a club and met a guy, spent some time with him and then he asked me out, I wouldn't say "Well, first I have to know if you are an atheist or agnostic." It wouldn't come up. If we began to date regularly and religion kept coming up and seemed to be a problem, then I would want to talk about it. Are you saying that this is happening here on mingle or everywhere? When I decide if I want to date someone it goes by common interests first so you have a place to start.

hmmmm How about these RKISIT?

why must a preference involve looking down on anyone

IF I prefer tall men, and there are an abundance to choose from,, why does that mean I am looking down on short men?

its just a matter of preference, christians have them like anyone else

fitness buffs probably arent interested in the overweight very often
harvard grads are probably not interested often in high school dropouts

people can lean in the directions of those they feel will 'relate' to them best and who share their values,,,nothing wrong in it,,,
