Should I stay with a christian

[FatAndFaithless]

2 Cor 6
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

Since he's reading his Bible more, he'll eventually get to the above. Might as well point it out to him now and ask him why he's engaged to you. Whole lot easier to break off an engagement than get a divorce.

Protip: Don't quote the Bible to atheists if you want to have any chance of expressing your point. Use your own reasoning and logic.

Almost all of my sexual partners have been Christians (the rest have been other kinds of theists). Agreeing to not argue religion has so far sufficed in my relationships. It might work for you.

I actually thought it was a really good point.
Damn it alpha male stop making me give you kudos.

This is definitely something to point out and discuss in depth. You don't want him to discover this verse after you've been married or even worse after you have children if you plan to have them.

Again the visions thing would worry me more. Most people are capable of having healthy relationships with people who are not the same faith (or lack of) as them.

Hello!
It can work... I've been married for almost 10 years to a nice Catholic girl and we're still madly in love, in spite of her going to church every bloody Sunday.
However, that visions detail... maybe you can show him the wiki page for "deja vu", huh?

And he's reading the bible, huh?... there's a site called "evil bible" that has a collection of all the juicy parts that the heads of the churches don't want you to read without their "guidance"...

Not arguing something is not a solution, it is a way to maintain the problem, avoiding issues has always fucked my relationships, that's why I never avoid them now. And yes i am committed with a Christian girl even though she is more like a deist that follows some Jesus teachings

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

I guess you have to trust that it will work. If it does then no harm no foul if not - and you seem considerate and smart to me - then it's his loss.

None of us here really can tell you what to do. I will say this, and I might seek a shrink outside his presence and get their take on his "seeing the future".

Much of the time when people talk like that, it can be due to many things, like mere stress caused by anxiety or trauma or depression and even bi polar disorders.

I had a co worker who swore she heard voices after we were closed and she was the only one there. I couldn't tell her that it was a sign of a neurological brain malfunction.

I had 3 "seeing people" in my sleep as a kid. 1 was my dead grandmother. The other was my dead father. The third was my still living mother. All of those felt real at the time and since I did not know better, I thought they were real. I now know that it was simply my sleep state mixing with my dream state with my eyes open.

These types of problems do not make a person bad. Most of the time people can be quite harmless. It really is up to you how you deal with it.

Actually, when trying to predict what a Christian might do in future, the Bible is a pretty reasonable place to look.

I was an atheist my fiancee was christian, she is now atheist (smart woman)

Anyway, most likely will be very tough because 99.98% of christians are F-A-K-E christians that do not follow their bible (the good parts or bad), meaning love thy neighbor goes out the window.

if that's the case it won't work but you are no better than christians if you let religion come between a relationship

Why? You don't think they follow the fucking thing, do you?

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
