An Atheist In Love With A Christian by Dolemite(f): 10:30am On Sep 27, 2015
The title says it all, I'm in love with this Christian guy so much that if he proposes right now, I would scream YESSSS!! but he's a Christian, I don't mind him going to church but I feel it could strain our relationship later on, what's an atheist girl to do?

If the guy is a "True" Christian then he will not propose to you until you join him.

Complicated but achievable.
First, what type of marriage do you subscribe to?
What type of marriage does he subscribe to?
Have you guys in all sincerity talked about your religious differences?
If yes, what was the meeting point and the escape from the seeming relgious imbroglio?
If you guys have these questions ironed out, a proposal cum marriage is possible but if not, it could just be for the attraction sake.

- A marriage where I don't have to change to please my partner and vice versa.
- I can't tell.
- No we haven't.

We're still in early stages though, but I really want this for long term.

I am a spiritual atheist who lean toward ATR. My wife is a christian. She is the daugter of a pastor. What I think brings us together is love, respect and understanding. I dont see what the big deal is if you choose to date a christian.

Wow! Interesting. So you are married to a Pastors daughter. Nice. What does her family think about your beliefs? It could be a big deal if the guy is fanatical about is christian beliefs.

They are not fanatical. Though the relationship was tough when it started. I had a girl who stood on her ground and instited she will marry me no matter who I am. She was disowned when she had pregnant. But I have to bring her in. With so much love, her mother soften the heat from her family. Her dad is hard to relate with yet but I think the fear have reduced. I have visited him twice since we had our son. And I believe as time go on, I will be someone he likes.

Kindly iron out these questions with him going forward.
Marriage is life time and it is also between families, better to sort out all differences prior to be able to manage it successfully.

Spiritual atheist disbelieve in God defined as a person living behind the cloud. However, spiritual atheist believes there are more to human, animal and every matter than their physical body. We believe spirit exist. Traditional atheists disbleieve in God but we try to define our God as energy or force or spirits in nature. Some tends to call this spirit consciousness, psyche, ultimate mind, God or whatever, we understand.

Also, spiritual atheist engage in kind of spirituality without God (defined as human). Our spiritualism like Fela said is To be spiritual is not by praying and going to church. Spiritualism is the understanding of the universe so that it can be a better place to live in.

This is the clearest definition you've given.

On a scale of Deeper Life to Christ Embassy, rank his IQ.

On a scale of 'others will go to heaven' to 'rababrabrobosko' how spiritual is he?

What does he think about you being irreligious?

Would he get his family's consent? On a scale of 'mummy' s boy' to 'moses', how much do you think his family's decision would affect your relationship?

Very sensible, hope you know that marrying him means marrying his family as well. If you guys are living in Nigeria then it can be a problem for you as a lady.

I am not sure that I can marry an atheist.

However, you should be open to your partner and discuss it. I dated a member of Pastor Chris's church and regretted it. I kept quiet when I should have told her how offensive some of her views on christianity are to me.

What will you say when your partner asks you to tithe in their church? Or to join church groups that do not profit you?


The best thing I ever did was to slowly tell her over time that I practice a humble christianity and not materialism. I go to church not to dress flamboyantly or double my money through tithing and surely not to worship a pastor.

Hi.
I totally understand you.
I'm atheist too dating a very religious girl who I love crazily.
It has its ups and down just try not to be too rigid with your Atheism.
And let your love come first.
I feel as if it will be easier for a male atheist than a female atheist though.

Cheers! smiley
