Would you date a theist?
August 28, 2008 at 8:07 pm
A conversation I'm having with adrian has made me think (as if)

If you're an Atheist would you go out with a Theist?

And vice versa if you're a Theist.

I went out with a Theist for a bout a year, we knew each other's beliefs and just left them at that. It never came up and I never thought it mattered. Strangely after we broke up she became an Atheist. That's one for me!!

I would definitely hope that if I liked someone enough and he or she liked me back that religion would not get in the way. Loving someone is not being perfectly compatable. I think that I would probably get along better with an atheist/agnostic but it's not like I can't be respectful and accepting of theists. I only ask that they feel the same way about me. I have a decent relationship with mother (a Catholic), in fact just this past Monday we had a discussion about religion, it didn't dissolve into arguments. It was actually very pleasant and thoughtful. If I could get along in that respect, I don't see why not.

If atheism is something you feel passionate about, don't do it. It won't work.
