Religion & Spirituality - 1 February 2007

My boyfriend/best friend is Greek Orthadox. I love him very much and have for most of my life and we want to get married in a few years time.

I have seen My big Fat Greek Weddinng heaps.

He is very set on having our wedding in a church. I'm not religious, I have never been inside a church, and my whole family are not religious. I don't think they would be comfortable being in a greek church (my family are not greek). I have never been in a church mainly because my family are very against Christianity (also someone punched my mother in the face and broke her nose one day she was forced to go to Sunday School)

I love him very much but I don't want to get married in a church. He says I have to get baptised. All this stuff is all strange to me, but he's set on having it in a church. His family aren't very religious, they go to church once a year (Greek Easter)

Any suggestions of what I can do? I've already compromised a lot in our relationship. I love him very much. Please help!

We live, we die, we make mistakes, we rise, we fall, we trust people, we doubt people but in the end everybody gets stabbed in the back, misinterpreted, misunderstood, loathed, betrayed, banned, killed, or destroyed by the people you thought you could trust, and excluding the possibility of the truthfullness of any religion, it amounts to nothing. What's the point?

Many people embrace the Nordic cosmology. Does Y!/A discriminate in favor of more mainstream beliefs?

I was wondering if you could tell me. I have never had a boyfriend and my life is very different now. I could potentially have a boyfriend now whereas in the past I couldn't. If you could tell me who the boyfriend will be I'd be more prepared to face him in the future if I knew now.

If I discovered God is real, I would assume he must be the devil. Jesus died for your felonies(sins) Sounds like the devil to me

Believe in God and love Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. If He isnt then you have lost nothing. If He is look at the gain!!!!!!

simply to see if his/her/its little creation (that's us) can learn to live together without killing and torturing each other over beliefs. And religion, spirituality, and even belief in a higher power don't mean jack to him/her/it?

I bet Christians can easily fall in love with someone they met on the internet and have a "personal relationship"

"Theology is not what we know about God, but what we do not know about Nature." Robert Ingersoll said this and I think it's a great statement.

Has anyone ever been doing something and then thought they have heard the trump sound and it was some other noise? But you thought about it twice? Just curious?

This sorry excuse for a Yahoo Q & A board! For two groups to have such different views, Atheists & Christians sure do hang around each other a lot. Christians hang around Atheists because Jesus came for those who are sick and in need of a physician (Matthew 9:12), and Atheists hang around Christians because.......... ..... ........to.....have....someone.... to.....try..... to prove......wrong......i guess. Whatever the reason is, atheists,we are here for you because we love you and we want you to know Jesus. (Now watch some atheists or some non-believers of Christ make some insulting comments about this message, even though they could just go to another question on another page.) Peace!

Invoking the God and feeling HIS presence certainly satisfies our request. It is a belief.
