How Tolerant Are You? Can You Marry An Atheist? by Yteflon(m): 8:44am On Mar 06, 2016
Am a humanist-atheist and I don't see anything wrong in marrying a christian or muslim, but I discover most religious folks av problem with one being an atheist. Is that what religion preaches?

I can marry any woman as long as she's willing to do good to this world.

Would you marry an atheist woman?

Genesis 2:24
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Is not about tolerance . Its about being a whole - one flesh . Its all about compatibility . One cannot serve two masters.

Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other...

Why should one whole serve two masters - The belief in God and the delusional unbelief in God ?

1. the belief in God

2. The delusional unbelief in God

Let me explain better . Marriage makes a man and woman ONE - a WHOLE .

Only ONE of the two paths as seen in the pic below can only be taken by the man (A WHOLE) at a time ... right ? wink

what of those that are not maried,those that mean they are not whole?.....not everyone will get maried..so this mariage making one whole is overrated..it is nice to get married if you wish,if not ..nothing do you....getting married. Is not a big deal...staying married for life is....who says an atheist or muslim can be your better half?...it has not yet been proven that two christains getting married last than other religions...just follow your heart...man propose God dispose

What about the Bible prophet who God instructed to marry a Harlot? You don't think there's a bigger picture?

The institution of marriage involves a covenant between a man, a woman, and God , so if He says I should marry an atheist , then I would . No biggie . I answer His call and follow to where he leads ...

Really, think again. If you are an atheist,your father is the Devil. Period. He is the father of muslims and all other faith. Yeah,scoff,but we all serve a god. No one is exempt. I mean No one.

If,you're not in God's family,He sees you as a child of darkness. There's no middle ground.

That's what this humanism thing is all about: manufacturing our own goodness (righteousness), independent of God. The delusion is that, when faced with God's standard , the humanists fires back "I can be good without You",
so who needs God to live right?
That's deception right there. Pride, self righteousness is lurking in their heart!
When in hell,they'll be wandering how they got there,after all they were so good and lived right?!
But beneath you see stinking pride that made them to big to accept the atonement for their sins.
It's a sad scenario.

This has already been answered . If He tells me to then I will , for whatever purpose . But do you think one should marry for the purpose of making someone who we feel are filth better ?

I can discuss Christ with the atheist woman and still have my marriage to a good Christian woman intact . What do you think ?

I can't marry an atheist and not even because of my religion, but their oversabi too much. even an oversabi christian man i wont marry, he too has a high tendency of becoming an atheist.

you like mumus who have no conviction on issues or intelligence to defend their stands.
Some1, whose thinking has been outsourced to the equally clueless society he lives in?
The bible says you should be as smart as serpents and study to show yourself approved. It also says "Think..". Christianity is not a religion for dimwits , people who'll get pregnant for a pastor just because he's a man of God.

Its not about tolerance . Its about prudence . I respect marriage a lot and think it should be done with the right partner . An atheist for me as a christian , only if God says so , is not the right partner . We wont think the same way , there is no understanding . I relish reading stories or seeing Christian marriages built on the principles of Christ and His kingdom .

A major part of our marriage together would be about trying to covert the other to his/her side . There could be issues that should involve spirituality as a solution and she would waiting for a non-existent rational solution undecided . I can't deal with that . God has been , is , will always be the answer .

As a good smart christian I hope she'd be , we will grow spiritually and intellectually , stronger than ever .

In essence the atheist woman is not good for marriage but good enough to be married to Christ. Or you don't even see it like that?
