Answer 2

Gina,
Starting a love relationship with an unbeliever would be a grave mistake for anyone desiring to follow the way of Christ and God.
The apostle Paul says, "Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what sharing do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?.....Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever?" ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14-15
The apostle John says not to love the world or the things in the world. ~ 1 John 2:15-17
Jesus' brother James wrote: "Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God." ~ James 4:4

Strive to please God in whatever we do and He will take care of us.

Answer 3

If you really care about someone, their religion or lack thereof is completely irrelevant. You should respect him for his beliefs and accept that he probably uses more of brain than you do, as he believes more than just what his parents told him. Face it. The only reason you are of a certain religion is because your parents/guardians or other person close to you were. To be able to break the cycle takes a lot of character and shows he knows how to think for himself. And if do end up having children, PLEASE don't force your religion on them. Educate them first and allow them to choose for themselves. You'll see. They'll probably make the right choice.

Oh, and one more thing. PLEASE don't misspell the word "atheist" wrong ever again or use it in such a negative context.

Answer 4

I know many branches of the church who adamantly believe that people with different faiths should not marry. I do not agree with this though. I know God is real, but many people are unsure. I would never hold it against a woman for wanting some sort of proof. I received proof myself, therefore it is easy for me to believe, if you have not been in my shoes maybe you would not feel the same way. I like to keep my mind open, maybe an atheist woman has a good soul, that is all that matters.

Answer 5

Consider yourself lucky. Athiests like myself are free thinkers and are not blinded by false consequnces of a book. Religion has, and will always be a way to control the masses. The problem is nobody dares to ask this simple question:

Why?

Answer 6

I'm not sure where you live, but in most countries nowadays there is a freedom of religion and a respect for people to have their own religious beliefs. As long as your lover is respectful of your beliefs, you should be respectful of his. If he doesn't respect your beliefs and constantly tries to convert you, then you should tell him to hit the road. The same goes for him if you constantly try to convert him.

It is more a matter of tolerance and respect for each other than anything else. Religion is just an opinion about something. If you can't respect differences in opinion, then you shouldn't be together.

Answer 7

Would he support you if you choose to go to church? What about when you bring kids into the picture? It gets really hard, and affects many couples. I recommend thinking and praying about it to see what is right for you personally, and maybe inviting him to church if that is comfortable.
Love is something that comes through years of working together, and is hard to do when you are striving for different goals. In the end, a big part of what is important is if he will support you in your choices and if he is an overall good guy.

Answer 8

I think that you would have to decide which is more important, your relationship with God or you relationship with the individual. Either way, one will suffer. You will either limit God in your life to accommodate this person or offend the person by living a life that focuses on God. I don't think that it would be a compatible relationship but who knows, it may be the connection God needs to bring the message of salvation to the person you love.

Answer 9

What's the issue?

I'd suggest not trying to convert them.

Answer 10

You will save on psychoactive medecine dear.

Answer 11

I guess it depends on if he loves you too or not. Why would his religious preference matter to you if you really love him? Did you just find out he was an Atheist or something?
