Complications with theist companions
July 1, 2013 at 8:58 pm
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'm sorry to say but finding a sceptic/atheist meetup is like waiting for a "miracle".

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.

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.
