michelin89: Getting married an atheist is less problematic than getting married to a person of a different religion. Atheists are generally not threatened by other religions so they wouldn't have problems with their kids being educated according to a religious doctrine, because they believe that in due time, the child would grow up to choose their own path.

A lot of atheists grew up in religious homes and their parents were religious freaks or they were religious freaks themselves but they still found themselves refusing all religious doctrines at last.

You've indeed written well Michelin.
You see, 'v met Logic Mind on here before now and the emboldened text do not apply to him, regardles of d fact that he ain't threatened by them o'course that he did let me know but I do have a strong notch he'l be bothered about his kids being taught the christian way of life.
So now lemme ask, what happens if his kind falls for some Christian fanatic? Would she be allowed to believe in God?
Believe me, it's best for this particular atheist to get married to his kind cos I smell doom if he doesn't!

foyeks2001: my bible tells me that '' do not be equally yoked with unbelievers'' meaning d suppose partner can as well influences ur faith in God be it positively or negatively....but always good to be on a safer side....so it is a capital NO for me

Mynd_44: I have no problem with religion. Infact I can marry anyone regardless of their religion as long as their personal character is something I can live with

Atheists in life are reserved and tolerant. they don't talk about their non belief unless they are questioned. unlike what happens on Nairaland, atheists hardly initiate religious debate because they know the implication of starting something that will never end. if the kids choose religion fine, as long as they don't become obnoxious and hypocrites because that's something atheists don't tolerate in religious people. if you can't respect and follow the doctrine, why choose it?

Shollypopz: Nope, my religion forbids me to.
But if he's very intelligent though, i'll pray that the Holy spirit touches his heart and invite him to all the church services i can think of.

fluid26:

hmmm...so intelligence turns u on. Little wonder!

cowgurl: .

And as such we should'nt put them into consideration before getting married? Are u kidding me? Or that statement of yours only applies to this issue, which would be hilarious.
Listen, it's more like you knowing your girl is having same genotype as you (AS) and you both still went ahead in tying the damn knots without thinking how that decision of yours is gonna affect ur kids, it's totally ridiculous!

cowgurl:
Yes! It's no guarantee cos kids nowadays mingle with all manner of folks and get influenced in one way or the other. We've not even seen the last of this many religions yet, more are still upcoming I tell ya.

All am saying is simple, it's advisable to get married to your faith QED!

@Logic Mind:

Logic Mind: Just wondering with naija girls mentality if a very good, rich, loving, handsome, intelligent, educated fellow fell madly in love with you and you with him but you realise he doesn't believe in any god. Will you still marry him if he proposes?

Another Okija:

Dude take it from me... MOST OF THEM WONT...

I am talking from experience... I remember one girl I dated and had fhucked in so many different positions that a normal christian shouldnt even try.. After things started to get serious and she decided to get to know me better and found out that I wasnt a christian, she cried so hard and broke up with me.. I was like WTF!! Bitch you werent even born again?! O well.. Good riddance..

I am engaged today and that is one of the biggest issues I have with my spouse.. I had to promise her to attend church once a month at the minimum for a little peace to reign..

Shollypopz: what's this suppose to mean

Logic Mind:
You see, genotype doesn't change. A church going good christian husband could end up atheist after years of marriage and childbearing. Please compare comparables.
As I said before, faith is not constant. It is good for children to mingle and get knowledge.
Intolerant attitude like yours will surely drive your family to atheism. (husband and children)
