Can You Marry Someone Who Doesn't Believe In God? by Nobody: 1:08am On Sep 19, 2014
Hello there,
There are some of us (Nigerians) who actually don't
believe in God. We don't go to church, we don't go to
mosques. Some of us can be quite moral, gentlemen,
and not players. We are as faithful and honest (or
dishonest) as the average Christians, and sometimes
more so. But we just don't believe in God. At all.
Suppose you meet someone who is so sweet, so loving,
so gentle, so understanding, so caring, so attractive, so
charming, etc. Someone who is everything you have
ever wanted in a husband or wife. But that person just
doesn't believe in God and despite all your efforts
cannot believe (or refuses to believe).
If that non-believer in God asks you to marry him/her,
will you oblidge, and under what conditions (if any)?
Thanks a million!

The question should be rephrased. It should be "Can you marry someone who doesn't believed in Your god?"

marriage works best when both patners have a common higher authority they respect.

if i marry a Christian like me.. i don't have to preach her into submission, tithing and other things..


fvck it.. if there was no afterlife.. this world would be the last place ill wanna be.. ill rather kill myself and rest in oblivion.. whats d mere point of.. getting born, growing, schooling, working, marrying, procreating, and dying off.. thats just a hopeless cycle


God, afterlife is d hope and that hope is the strength i need to endure the craziness of this futile world.

Not believing in God is is due to warped intelligence and spiritual ignorance.

But then who cares when love is involved?

Love makes people do strange things. It's such a reckless and yet essential emotion.

I'd gladly marry her.

Condition? Yeah, she shouldn't dissuade my kids from believing in God. cool

I asked that question because some Nigerians especially are very good at quoting scriptures but awful at doing a tiny % of scripture they quote.

This is one of the reasons why despite the fact that we have churches in almost every street in Nigeria, many tongue speaking and devil castling 'men' of God Nigerians are still regarded as one of the most corrupt and dishonest people in the world.

Our actions speak opposite of what we preach.

@Op...to answer your question...if i'm in love with somebody and we respect each other's principles then her faith will not bother me.

Believing in God will not be in my top 10 list of criterias because merely saying that you believe in God does not mean that you also do the will of God

^^^ There's a whole note on this one, want the link? Here's some, for starterswink:
Unfortunately, many of us will become victims to psychological manipulation at some point in our dating life. We may enter a relationship with pure intentions, attracted and interested in our partner, only to later realize that person we fell in love with was nothing but a false image created to control us and feed into their own secret agenda and desires.

Not believing in God does change the fact that God is God, since I know what I believe and God nothing less
