A theist boyfriend?
#29
RE: A theist boyfriend?
Many great replies. I agree with those that base the possibility of a future together on how devout he is. The 'came from monkeys' bit concerns me. Is this just ignorance that can be overcome?

Check out what he is devoted to. Go to church with him. Investigate his brand of theism. If it's a fire and brimstone or literal/divinely inspired sect immediately pull the eject lever. The reason I say this is that he will constantly be surrounded by people that will consider you the devil incarnate and give him advice to eject you. Politely challenge his devotion to his beliefs and be prepared to offer alternatives.

Also consider that he may find you intriguing because you're not like the rest and are still enjoyable to be around. He may just be ignorant of certain ideas, such as evolution, and has only been exposed to one true way. Not all Christians are nuts. Until proven otherwise, give him credit. He may be using you as a life-line.
