I found that pretty hurtful and disgustingly judgmental. How do people judge others based off their religious beliefs so easily and harshly? Before they even know them? And of course now I automatically dislike them, which may not be fair either.
Being from NY I never really felt too much pushback for being an atheist outside of my immediate family, so this was very shocking to me. Guess i need to get out more
we are told not not be unequally yoked with non believers simply because their disbelief will always put a strain on the relationship between us and God and us and out spouces... not that we are to divorice a non believer if we later convert, it just life will be easier if we marry someone who shares the same world values as we do.
