I don't am consider myself as good a person if not better than most reliogious people. I believe that a religion that says thou shall not kill and in the same breath almost, says that all is forgiven just doesn't amke sense to me.
I should mention that I'm happily married for 9 years. Never cheated on my wife and I turned down a promotion to have more time for my wife and son.
No looks for any kind of justification honestly trying to see just how important this belief is to most.

When I married my husband (we have been married 18 years now) he believed in God, but through the years my husband has lost 2 sisters, one went into a coma and never came out, the other a bloodclot went to her heart, he also lost his mother to a heart attack and his father to a stroke. After the loss of his second sister he started tp question his beliefs, and now his faith has completely left him and he is looking for answers elsewhere. Does that matter to me....no....my hubby is a fine, decent man, besides you dont have to believe in God to be a good human being. I would be thrilled if humanity would just follow some of his teachings, thou shall not kill, thou shall not lie, etc.. Just think how much safer society would be.. Have a great day......

Yup. In fact, I did. He's agnostic. I'm pagan, and he respects my beliefs even though he doesn't share them.
I think in a mixed-religion marriage, the important thing is that the parties respect each others' beliefs and don't turn the marriage into a Conversion Meeting.
If there are kids involved, the couple needs to decide *before the baby comes along* how the child will be raised spiritually.

Too many people speak out of both sides of their mouths and often are unable to keep the vows at all much less the ones they claim to make before God. How about the ones who won't have abortions but yet do the fornicating to get pregnant and use God as an excuse. Don't get me wrong ; I am not advocating nor speaking against abortion. I am just noting the hypocrisy of it.
Give me the man that knows how to keep his promise to love honor and cherish....
I have a husband that has a strong character and always keeps his word who has never given me a reason to worry. While the super"moral" church guy is busy fooling around on his wife and surfing the net for porn and cybersex.

Maybe a better understanding of the bible would be a better way for you to get your answers. God has to allow people free will. If God didn't allow this, people would walk around like robots. God wants us to come to him at our own freewill and love him because we want to. If someone is a christian then marrying someone who just did not believe in God would right away be a problem in the marriage. I would say no. God gives us a set of laws to follow but, in the beginning realizing that Man could not follow those laws God had to do something to save us because he loves us so much. So he sent his only son to die so we could be forgiven. So yes you shall not murder is a law but because of freewill Man sometimes chooses not to follow this law. But because of Jesus dieing on the cross we can be forgiven. If Jesus put stipulations on his forgiveness then his death would have been in vain. Try a study bible, it explains everything in clear English. Hope this helps

No, because I have come to a place in my life that God is the center of all being. My life is much happier and less stressed because of my beliefs and my faith. I do not subscribe to any particular religion because I feel that religions are segmental and as we have seen religion can tear apart a country and make cause for the deaths of thousands of innocent people.
God is not religion. God is one, both visible and invisible. God is in all of us. We all have the ability to be and do whatever we wish to be. God is good, all the time. And as soon as people cease in believing that their religion is superior and look within to find their guidance, which is love... this world will be a better place.
Peace for the greater good, and Love.

Yes I would marry a man who doesn't believe in "God" because I myself do not beleive in what is considered "God" by most Christian Standards. I beleive in a higher power but I don't live strictly by the bible, I believe we were given brains by which we make our own choices in life and that our creator is the only one who has the right or the power to judge us when our time comes. As for the bible thumping humans who believe they have the right to judge and condem others for their beliefs, I take all with a grain of salt. I've been told too many times that I'm going to hell, to which I simply retort. "Would you like me to safe you a place?"

Yes I would. Before African Americans were forced into this country, before other nations had Christianity forced on them as the ONLY acceptable religion, cultures had their own beliefs and worshiped in their own way. Who's to say white is right. I don't.

No, I would not marry an athiest. I believe the verse in Psalms that says only a fool says in their heart there is no God. You asked, I answered.

It is very important to me that my husband believe in God. But, I must say that you sound like a great guy and family man.
