Should I stay with a christian

RE: Should I stay with a christian
As the female it is YOUR decision and no-one else's. (from a Darwinian PoV)

For me the big question would be children and possible indoctrination thereof.
It all comes down to how much you're prepared to put up with, do you have any red-line issues which would make you leave?
For myself I'd say hope for the best but plan for the worst.

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

No, I don't, and thank heavens for that because it isn't a very healthy book. But there are verses that come up over and over as justification for particular things. Alpha Male's verse is rather familiar to me. It's the out when a Christian leaves someone of another faith.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

(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.

Big red flag right there. He's a crackpot, dump him & find someone who is your mental & emotional equal.

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.

Hey, you asked the question. I answered.
You don't like it ... prolly shouldn't be askin the question.

Coming from a household where one of my parents was somewhat Christian (didn't go to Church until I myself showed some interest as they wanted for me to discover my faith on my own), the other atheist, it can definitely work out....many hardcore Christians have said it can't work out, but they also spent most of their free-time at Church, which even most devout Christians just don't do.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

The real hitch comes with children. Did your Christian parent want you raised Christian, and if so did your atheist parent mind? I would mind very much.

As I stated before, seeeing as how they did not force religion on me, it was not an issue.
