When I first met my fiance he was christian, but he was not a devout one, he was pretty open to discussion of the existence with god and I shared my views on religion with him alot. He agreed with much of the things I said to him actually to the point where he questioned his religion. I thought for sure we had another free thinker but instead he ended up becoming christian again . I would ask him why he was christian despite the obvious logic conflict, he says he doesnt know why nothing make sense and he isnt sure why Christianity is full of illogical fallacies but he say he knows god exists because he has his visions of the future. (BTW the visions he has he is unable to remember until after the event has happened and he can ever recall a vision at will ) His vision are alot like Deju Vu phenomenons. But he is convinced it is visions so this gives merit to the idea that the christian god must be the way . Now that he has found his religion again, he is increasing his reading of the bible and starting to do and say illogical things. I love him to death and he is a smart man(hes an engineer for goodness sakes) I am worried he will put Christianity so high in his priories that ill be outcasted. He says he is fine with practicing his religion alone, but I dont know if this can actually work

Well I'm assuming you are a female or a gay male, my advice, even though my relationship has only been lasting for 2 years (not a lot of time, but I hope a lot more still comes) is to not give a fuck about it. If you truly love each other, something like personal beliefs or lack of beliefs should have little relevance. My girlfriend has always been a christian (more likely a deist with christian influences) and she is pretty open minded about it, we never had a problem with it because we both love ourselves. If you love your boyfriend that shouldn't be a problem at all. But again this is just my bet. What are your fears on the future (if I can ask) ?

It can turn to shit if you are both not careful.
How can you know that his beliefs will not evolve further to the point of no return.

Most "normal" people work stuff out together for the sake of love, but many times love alone isn't enough.
The trick to a lasting relationship, as Paul Newman suggested, is to grow together.

Good luck either way matey.

Uhhhmm

Are we being punked?
The answer is painfully obvious. Religious or not, fucktards who claim to have visions of the future and believe in sky wizards, all while knowingly ignoring logic and reason should not only be avoided they should be considered dangerous. I mean, you're the idiot that married a christian so part of me thinks you should have to suffer with his idiocy, but the other part of me thinks you should find and maintain a safe distance from someone who claims to pick up transmissions from god.

I agree with you on this one. Like I said, the probability of a relationship like this working depends on the level of religiousness/faith the partner has. Some disagreements are not enough to stop a commitment, but if a person is an atheist and the other claims to see the future then clearly it isn't going to work.

It can work both ways, you can have annoying Christian or an annoying Atheist, both are not worth living with.

If he's getting steadily more and more religious, this will not last. He will eventually start asking, then demanding that you go to church with him. The peer pressure (why don't we ever see your lovely wife at service) at church will get him even if the crazy doesn't.

True story. This is a prime example to explain why opposites don't really attract

My wife is a Christian - we get along just fine. I realize that her religion is a surface infatuation with a deeper self-truth. Once your man finds his own inner light, he'll quickly put away the one pointing to it.
