A Story of an Atheist Dating a Believer

This is a story of a series of dates that I went on that ended as soon as a certain question was asked...

Its possible that you just didn't spark attraction during the date. If you had, she would have gone ahead with you anyways, regardless of her beliefs.Trust me she would have revealed more of her "sinful" nature had you sparked enough attraction.

[DrixDZanth]

Yeah, that's possible. I actually wondered if the reverse was true. While it seemed out of the blue, one thing I thought was that she was feeling some sort of guilt over how quickly we were moving physically. This was date three, and she already told me how much she wanted to date me.

But, it's possible that her spark faded; whether by dating or through some guilt.

I am a Christian, but I do like science and I do like to look at other perspectives, which is why I'm subscribed to a variety of believers and non-believers.

One thing that I've never understood about my religion is the unacceptance of others. I found it quite shocking when I told my uberchristian friend that I was dating and she asked "Is he a Christian?"

To me, it doesn't matter what religion a person is and I find it horrible that some people base their relationships on religion.

[DrixDZanth]

It's refreshing to hear perspectives like yours. Thanks!

You remind me of me. I get the impression that you were a life long christian until your deconversion. I have had moments of doubt too but who doesn't. I have never given in to doubt because I have never been convinced that atheism is more rational than theism. Why do you believe atheism is more rational than theism?

[DrixDZanth]

Simply: my beliefs have little to do with whether or not theism is rational. I could begin by mentioning that all of the usual arguments that only prove a deist God (Kalaam cosmological, anthropic, teleological, etc) aren't valid. In addition reading the Bible and then scrutinizing it historically was another step away from theism. Now I'm scrutinizing the argument from experience using Neuroscience.

PM me if you have more questions :)

of holding up a positive athiest image. keep posting and feel free to message me. id love to talk and maybe even do some sort of joint discussion with you for a video segment or something to show how us as people can come together and agree on many things. thanks and great video

[chrisgangsta]

We ve all been there man

[gmorenox18999]

Yo whats up dude. cool video. you know man. same thing happen with me, and I was interested in a ministers daughter. talk about wow. she was hot, smart, caring, but you know how theists are. I was like religion its not a big deal. but she was like trying to convert me the whole time. We can conclude that sometimes love doesnt conquer all. But no worries man, there more girls than guys out there :P get a atheist chick there way better in all aspects. Good luck man ~.^

This happened to me yesterday :(

This is why I refuse to date a woman of faith. Not saying that all will have this point of view. But chances are if you do establish a relationship with someone of faith and you are faithless you will be seen as a project, a lost heathen that needs to be "shown the light". You will never be able to form a true connection with that other person because faith will always be an issue. I dated a catholic once. Religion erects the tallest walls. The great partitioner of humanity.

in tears begging her that it doesnt matter if you believe in a god or not, that we were actually happy, since that i've now tried helping people with the same problem

i understand your issue, i met a girl, we connected really well, she as Israeli, her mum moved to England to get away from from the war and her family, her mum was Atheist, but the girl was Jewish, i knew that, but it didn't bother me at all that she was Jewish, when we officially started to become in a relationship it must have been 2 months before she found out i was an Atheist, everything before that was fantastic, but it went downhill as soon as she found out, and eventually ended with me -

Constantine was NOT a Christian , he worshipped the Sun. This is well known . He allowed Christians to worship on specific hollidays which all coincided with the iimportant astronomical dates. That is why we have Christmas, Easter etc, all on either solistices or equinox times. Because Constantine did not persecute the Christians, Christian historians tried to hijack him as one of their own. They do this a lot . Anyway I found this video interesting.

[MindofaJedi]

What is funny is almost always over time a Christian partner will try to convert a non Christian partner. This often breaks up relationships. The fascinating part is you will almost always see a loss of faith of the Christian after this and never will you see the agnostic partner getting dumped and suddenly finding Jesus. I have seen this 100 times. My best friend, and atheist, is now married to a former Christian who once dumped him, but then dumped Jesus and came back.

Same problem here, but more complicated. I know this girl, and we talked well for maybe 4 months, started having long phone convo's, safe to say we liked each other alot. 2nd phone convo I told a girl I met in church when I used to be christian, told her I was an Atheist. she said ok, and she respected my thoughts. We ended up dating 1 month later for 5 months. We grew to love each other and had lots in common, except religion. We broke up over it in the end. Sad how beliefs can determine dating

read the bible. The bible is the most powerful weapon an Atheist can have on his side
