She Mandates Me To Leave Atheism by aIrbenIc(m): 3:39pm On Aug 23, 2015
She has been bringing up the issue. She asks me to believe in a supreme being even if not in her religion (Christianity) I asked her whether she doesn't love me for who I am, she said she would have ended the relationship long before then if she didn't. She still never stops asking me to drop atheism and pick up a religion, and I'm getting too pressed.

Dropping atheism isn't possible for me, expect I wanna pretend (which I made her know) I mean why should I pick up a religion I don't believe in? How do I cope with such a life? I no longer know what to reply her. I just feel like someone is choking my life. I dunno if I should get harsh on her by asking her to break up if she can't cope with me. To the atheists what would you do?

instead of having future issues with her which would involve your future kids, then cut it at once.
It will only hurt for a while but its for the better good.
Love" alone can never be enough.

I was in a similar fix sometime ago and I had to let go.

If I have no issues with you being a christian and still love you unconditionally, I can't see any reason why you should have issues with me being an atheist.

Exactly bro. Same decision.
Re: She Mandates Me To Leave Atheism by johnydon22(m): 3:59pm On Aug 23, 2015
[b]This is really an unfortunate position, one that i can imagine well... I understand your plight and i take this to be a very delicate matter that must be approached with caution.

Your reply to chocolateme was a nice one cus Love as an emotion transcends race, colour, religions, status, ideologies and even age. . . And i think your girl friend loves your only that you state of mind is in total conflict with not only hers but her parent's, society and religion. . .So her position on this matter is understandable.

I know it is very hard to feign belief when you lack it, it can be utterly frustrating so your own position too is understandable.

This issue beats my tiny mind but can only try..

Love is acceptance and love is not condition conformity but rather accepting the other as they are....

You and your girl friend needs to have a very blunt talk over this, Is your love more than what you both believe or disbelieve?
Is the beliefs/unbelief worth sacrificing your love over?

If you both cannot accept each other as each is in his/her differences then i do not see any future for that relationship at least not a happy one.

For this to work there must be total acceptance and tolerance... I think your girl friend and yourself needs to come out more explicitly and show how you feel..

If her beliefs makes it impossible for her to be in the relationship with an unbeliever then i think you both know what should be done... But all in all i do not buy the idea of you using harsh words on her, she doesn't deserve that, no woman does.... Frank talk, you both should tell yourselves the honest truth without holding back.

What ever path things stirs into (whether to stay or not to stay) after that will be for the better

What matters after all is happiness.....

Well, you can always become a born again Pastafarian .

FSM religion is a legitimate religion that has the Flying Spaghetti Monster as the supreme Being.
The belief in A SUPREME being should assuage her fears and reservations.

So i take it that you only believe in a God not because there is or you want to but because you fear what he might do to you should in case there is ...let me assume there is such a thing as a God that is interested in beliefs and you think you can deceive it simply by believing out of fear of what it might do to you?

What sort of individual operates on such low premise as judging others out of belief ? What sort of narcissistic character do you heap on your God.

A God capable of creating the universe is worrying over mere beliefs and worship to the extent that it has to threaten people with roasting them in a fire in order to get worship, what does this say about this God?

It shows it off to be narcissistic, chronic egoism and all in all abusive and sadistic. . I wonder why you people do not pause to see the implications the characteristics you guys heap on your God concepts has on it...

If you're comfortable with her being religious, then what's her deal with your unbelief?
My advise is that you shouldn't fool yourself just to please her... . Love in a relationship should be mutual.

Tell her why you view religion the way you do and also listen to her own pleas of why she favors religion...
Then you both should walk a mile in each others shoes.
... You go to church and she'd watch "the atheist experience" on YouTube for a few days or weeks...
But if nothing changes, then please end it.. . Because religion is more important to her than your emotions.

I'd rather base my confidence in Reason and not FAITH which by simple definition is blind... Your faith doesn't make anything true, your faith only affirms that you believe it anyway whether it is true or not

Faith is a dishonest position to be in because it ensures stoic convictions that is assumed without reason and defended against reason..

If you have to believe it by faith, you have no reason to believe it at all...

What she needs to understand is that belief cannot be forced. You either believe or you don't. For example, I can't imagine how I could force myself to believe that 2+2=5. It simply isn't going to happen.
