Complications with theist companions

Complications with theist companions
Hello all, I'm Stan, nice to meet you all. This is my 1st post in the forum, and I may need some advice.

I'm a 30 years old male and I've been having a problem finding an appropiate companion of the opposite sex that i feel i can coexist concerning religious views. Me being atheist and 100% of the women I meet have somewhat strong beliefs and bonds to Christianity.

This bit occured to me sometime in the last 3-4 years, when i realised that this gap of cosmic views may hinder my relationship in the future. Being in the age of 30 and somewhat in need to take things more serious, I'd like to ask from advice from people that may have had a same experience in their life, how will this play out in the future?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, and welcome!

Maybe find a local skeptic or atheist meetup?

Fish in a different pond.

If you live in Mississippi or some dumbfuck place like it that may be difficult but we have enough bible-belters around here to show that rational thought exists even in those dens of bleakness.

I can't imagine that they're THAT sparse on the ground that the internet doesn't supply something of that nature - even if it's just a forum.

You might try clicking on the link for the Atheist Union of Greece. Their web site doesn't do me too much good as I was only there for a couple of days but I'm sure you can manage it.

My wife does the born again thing, it doesn't seem to negatively impact our relationship (or impact it at all - she may disagree...I have no idea). Maybe you're giving the very notion of a god too much credit..lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Never underestimate the mitigating effects of a good boning.
