Think about how you would feel if you were on the other end when you get angry? Imagine how he puts up with you because of your anger. Now imagine him leaving you because of that. If you truly love him as much as you say you do, imagine your life without him because of your anger. I've never had anger towards a partner before but when I was younger, I used to get very angry easily. Eventually, I realized that my anger would only push people away and I gradually let it go.

I agree that one has to discuss that before taking the step if it's going to worry them so much.
Would you give up on love if your dream man happens to be adamant about you having his last name?
What about considering the hyphenated/mother's maiden names as a compromise.
How can he really love me if the dude is wrecking his brain over the fact that I don't wanna take his last name? I wouldn't give up on love but I still wouldn't wanna change my name. If he wants to walk away from me because of that, then that's on him. I'll go down the hyphenated route if his name is hyphenated as well.

@Ogaga. . .I don't think you understand where I (or we) are coming from. This is not about any kid issue, that is a different discussion. This "stealing" from the pot is not about not having enough to eat.

I am talking about you having your own everything including the house the Ogbonno soup resides. In fact, you cooked it or your girlfriend cooked it and you had a decent portion to eat for lunch. Small time, you cannot stop thinking about it and you say, I think I am gonna taste this thing to be sure it is still as tasty as you had it 30 minutes ago. Note: tasting is not the issue but you will find any available reason including manufacturing a reason to still eat this Ogbonno soup. This is the kind of "stealing" I am talking about 'cos it is just irresistible!

Sagamite:
^^^ I honestly have no problem dating girls that say "this is 2010" like Inked Nerd.

Honestly, I don't.

Where we can have a problem is when she tries to turn it to 1918 in one aspect and maintain it is 2010 in another. That would piss me off.

If you want the relationship to be guided by the so-called "enlightened" and "progressive" principles, fine. If you want it guided by the traditional principles, fine. Don't pick and mix, I am not Woolworths.

If you think it is 2010 and you "All the women who are independent, throw your hands up at me" then don't turn around and tell me "Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephone bills? Do you pay my automo' bills?". Waka!!

! When we go to a restaurant, get your wallet out and drop 50% of the bill.

If you think it is 2010 and you can't get in the kitchen and make me a meal, cool. Don't turn around and expect me to help you carry an item that I see you carrying but is awkard and heavy for you to carry or if I am carrying nothing at all or check your car when it is faulty.

If you think it is 2010 and you don't have to listen to some of my leadership demands, no lonthing. Don't turn around and expect that I have to be there and listen to any emotional rant you want to "share" if I am not interested in taking a share.

Don't expect me to have to set up something special on Valentines. We should both be doing it on par levels.

Don't expect me to ask you to marry me, we will discuss it like a questions and answer session until we arrive at an answer. And Heck, forget the engagement ring, except you are buying me one too. It is 2010.

Almost 2-11 now.
Ummm, Sagamite sweetie I never said it was 2010 undecided

chaircover:
In our culture (and even some Western cultures) it is the norm for the woman to take on the husbands surname when she gets married.

There are some exceptions like Sagamite mentioned above (and even then this has to be mutual) however if your husband and his family are not happy with you keeping your maiden name and you go on to deliberately kick against this because of reasons such as you want to "keep your identity" & "this is 2010" then you have started to poke holes in the fabric of the union.

Truth be told, you are indirectly telling the man that he is not good enough for you to bear his name & most men will take this personal.
So where is the "union" if you have ONLY his name??

jay bee:
@Inked
ain't nothing wrong with wanting to keep your surname as it's only a name at the end of the day.
What i wanna know though is how do you explain to your kids why daddy has a different surname to yours?
Well, that is is something the couple needs to discuss beforehand. You don't just jump into marriage without discussing certain things beforehand. The high school that my younger brother goes to, for some stranger reason a lot of the children in the school have either hyphenated names, their mother's maiden names, or their father's surname. For the most part, from what I've seen with the school records, majority of them have hyphenated[b]/[/b]mother's maiden names. I couldn't help but wonder why a lot of the students were like that and till this day I still haven't been able to figure it out.

I certainly belief that  there must be a  mysterious supreme being  somewhere who I feel must have an unparalleled sense of humour. Wherever he is, he must be laughing hard at the foolishness and illogicality of mankind. I, therefore see myself more as deist than an agnostic or atheist. There has to be God (the complexities of mankind can't be mere coincidental happenings), but not is not in the light painted by religious fellows in the Christian or Islamic world. When I read the Bible or Koran, things don't just add up. They do not align with my sense of reasoning.

I come from a religious upbringing but I started asking questions when  those that preached holiness behaved in ways that were unacceptable of "holy" people. cry
Deism eh? Interesting.

What else could we use to remind the fallen women of these facts? Is it not the social laws, religion and above all God? etc
Even the woman's right policy with has given people like you right to talk junk doesn't mean for a woman not to take her husband's name, this is just a new ideal from fallen women who can not really interpret what their rights are and what their right aren't, and it will go a long way to affect the unborn generation if not treated.

Yes! There is an underlying conspiracy behind these many policies and ideals in the world system today.
Lmaaaaaoooooo, wow too funny.

What woman's right policy are you talking about? Is there some sort of legal policy that was enacted? Social laws and religion are not one in the same. Although they can at times go hand in hand, they are not to be grouped together. My rights as a woman are no different from your rights as a man. I am a human being just like you. If you want to exercise your pseudo control over a woman then just say that!!! Because I refuse to accept your false beliefs about what you supposedly think a woman is supposed to be doesn't mean that I am a "fallen woman". You have made no sense at all. You say "Even the woman's right policy with has given people like you right to talk junk doesn't mean for a woman not to take her husband's name, this is just a new ideal from fallen women who can not really interpret what their rights are and what their right aren't", so [regardless of a person's gender] what is the point point in having a right if you can't exercise it?!?! Its as if you tell me you have the right to vote but it doesn't mean you should. Do you see the contradiction there?!?! If you have that right but cannot exercise it, then in reality you do not really possess that right. You can sit here and call me whatever name you like. If that makes you feel good about yourself as man then so be it.

But the brain washing began somewhere along the line. A time will come when it will be gold to find a woman  who wants to remain in her true nature while other will be hanging out with perverts. I don't see that world to be a better world, i don't see those women really happy and i don't see them being able to turn things around for the better because it must have eating deep into them.

Well, this could also mean a depopulation tactic by great brains. Knowing that it will make a lot of men and women die single. I love this world.
God? God? Your excuse is that "God" gave you the right to be the supposed head? Just because you've either never met or don't know men like the ones I've described doesn't mean that they don't exist. That's like saying I've never seen gay people so they don't exist. All you keep saying is "you don't see this" or "you don't see that" because things don't appear in the manner that you find appealing doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Your have a preconceived notion of woman should be like are socially constructed. It doesn't exist within nature. It is a man made idea. If women thinking like this is brain washing then what do you call your socially constructed notions?And your argument about "depopulation" makes no sense. A woman not baring her husbands last name will in no way have any baring on the population on Earth. If you wanna wanna lock up your p.enis because a woman doesn't want to bear your last name then your more do so, it will in no way make a dent in the worlds population.

[quote author=Capt. Cavey link=topic=552831.msg7170248#msg7170248 date=1290105894]I think is more of a burden to believe there is no God than to believe there is truly a God. Any rational thinker won't say the former. Unless those who like to hide under the theories and hypothesis of some people who think believing such would place a limit on them  in their  various fields. To them, is much of a ego thing.

To believe or not believe in God is what you need to discover yourself. Forget about the "big bang" idea. Forget about darwins thought about who you are,or how you came about- evolution. These are just the thought of some people. Discover this fact yourself. If this world self-created itself by chance,i tell you, we'll have to live our lives and every other things by chance.
The universe,the complexity of creation is just too  perfectly complementing that we cannot let "chance" take the credit. I'll rather say i created the universe,instead of given the credit to "chance". Only losers wages all on chances aka uncertainties![/quote]Hmmm, food for thought wink.

@OP:

(1)
When did you become an atheist?

I'm not one. I'm more of an agnostic rather than an atheist.

(2) Please share your story of how you became an atheist?

I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm an atheist--I'm more of an agnostic rather than an atheist. Ever since I was about 6 or 7 years old I always questioned the existence of a "higher power"/ "higher being" and made it know to those who were older than me. When I'd ask questions, I'd never get an exact answer to what I'd ask. My questions to those who were older than we would always lead me to more questions and no answers. Although my questions were never answered, I still continued to observe my families religious practices. As I got older, I started to wonder if I was an atheist. Eventually, after a lot of thought and research I came to the conclusion that I wasn't an atheist.

(3) What prompted you to make that decision?

I suppose it would be that I felt that agnosticism better suited my thoughts and feelings about religion.

(4) Do you come from a family of atheists? (no insults meant here)

Nope, nothin' but sheepish die hard Christians.

(5) Which religion do  you particular find repugnant?

Hmmm, I can't really say that there is one particular religion that stands out to me. Each religion possesses some qualities of repugnancy whether big or small.

(6) Which religion do you find - nearly acceptable if you wanted to be religious?

Just like question number 5, there's no one religion that I can say that I lean towards. For years, [even when I was still questioning myself] I would take elements of various religions and apply it to how I live my life.

(7) What are you views on[b]:[/b] death, pre[b]/[/b]post marital sex, stealing, lying, murder, afterlife?

Death: Ehh, it's part of life. Eventually it will happen. If something doesn't die, I'd really have to question its existence.

Pre[b]/[/b]post marital sex: We are all human beings, and we all have intimate needs and desires. It is unnatural for us as human beings to repress and deny ourselves of sex. Is is possible? Yes, but it is not within our nature as humans to repress or deny something that has already been genetically ingrained in us so whether you have intimacy before or after marriage is irrelevant. All I would advise is that if an individual wants to engage in premarital sex then be sure to practice safe sex AT ALL TIMES. As for sex after marriage, both individuals [in my opinion] should continue to practice safe sex. I know that this day in age there are spouses who step outside of the marriage, have[b]/[/b]get  STD's, and for various other reasons partake in things that is not conducive to the health of the marriage.  

Stealing: Stealing comes in various forms. I'm not saying its right but I'm not saying its wrong, but it happens--There are people on Wall St. who are stealing millions of dollars from people everyday for their selfish needs and there are those who are stealing due to poverty, desperation etc. It comes in many forms.

Murder: Hmmm, tricky question here. I'll get back to you on that one.

Lying: Same answer as the murder question.

Afterlife: I can't cay that I know what will happen after I or anyone one else dies, but personally I think when you die you die. I don't believe that there is actually an afterlife. The only afterlife I really say that I "believe" [and I'm saying that very loosely] in is how the living deal with death after someone has died.  

(8 ) Many views on the above subjects are influenced by religion. Without religious injunctions the actions become amoral.

Now this here seems like a one side statement. I have many friends from Denmark [and if you don't know the Danes are one of the least religious in the world] and these friends of mine are my far one of the most upright and 'moral' people I have ever know compared to the religious people I know. A person can still be a functioning and productive member of society without religious influences. Not having learned these 'morals' through religious is very much possible. I mean c'mon, do you really need religion in your life to tell you that you shouldn't randomly stab someone? Do you really need religion to tell you to help someone lying on the street all bruised up and in need of help? I mean c'mon!!!


@bawomolo: I had no idea that you're an atheist. Wait a minute, are you actually a guy or a girl? Oh well, whatever.
