How old is he?

He is 23 and he is a great man he isnt bigoted hes open minded...besides our religion we literally think the same on pretty much everything...he is quite the critical thinker...it really puzzles me why he became christian he says that it just feels right and it makes him happy. Plus his mother is a pastor and his family is full of strong devout Christians. Plus it doesnt help that we are both black so being black and atheist is like a minority within a minority because like 95% of black people are Christians(according to statistics of me). Big Grin

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 Undecided ) 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 Confused Fall . 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) ?

Yes i am a female and im afriad that he will get to a point that his religion becomes his first priority and he sacrifices his life to follow god (kind of like how Abraham was willing to kill his only child for god) I know he loves me but I dont have a rule book on how to live my life but he does. Although I think he is similar to how your wife is about religion he is sort of a deist with some christian ways...he identifies with Christianity but doesnt believe have the things he sees in the bible

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.

Well fucktard you should ask more questions before you jump to conclusions. My fiance's parents are pastor is uncles are pastors his family is full of strongly religious people. And no he doesnt run around exclaiming about his visions like an insane person..He says that he has had dreams about events that later on happened in life but he cant recall the dreams until during/after the fact because they happened so long ago...Im studying psychology so im fullly aware that his brain is just having hiccups where it recognizes imagery as familiar when it is unfamiliar. But its not exactly easy to explain that to someone who has been thought that way his entire life. He also has a keen ability to read people that of which he associates with his vision and ability to sense people. Its a very sensitive subject for me to address with him because attacking it is like attacking him since he feels that is apart of who he is.
