Would you date a christian?
November 30, 2015 at 5:40 pm
When looking to be in a relationship, is the other person being a practicing/faithful Christian an automatic deal breaker for you?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

No, I've dated Christians, and my wife is a sort of cafeteria Christian (some of our members would no-true-Scotsman the shit out of her, but that's how she self-identifies). It's not a deal breaker for me, but I really don't think I could handle being in a relationship with someone for whom it's an all-consuming thing, either.
Think female Drich or GC. That would be a deal breaker.

It is not a deal breaker, but he would have to be as respectful of me as an atheist as I would be of him as a theist.

Yes I would
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.

Depends on the Christian.
If they kept it to themselves and weren't fanatical about it, yes.
If they were a conservative, fanatical type, no.
And never a Mormon or joho.
