Dating her would certainly be against my religion.:no:A Gay Democrat Athiest.... wait you mean Hilary Clinton?
No, the best method for a theist would be to take someone else's guess.The best method for dating a theist is to take a guess.
As a Christian, my potential wife's religious beliefs are the most important thing to me. It doesn't matter if she is otherwise the perfect woman for me, she just won't do if she isn't a dedicated Christian. I'm not a picky guy and I could be happy with a wife who was a terrible cook, had a horrible sense of fashion, is undereducated, forgetful, always late, or any other similar things, but never a non-Christian one.
So being married to an Atheist is worse than having a wife with all those attributes?I'm not a picky guy and I could be happy with a wife who was a terrible cook, had a horrible sense of fashion, is undereducated, forgetful, always late, or any other similar things, but never a non-Christian one.

Muslim women aren't allowed to marry outside there faith, but the men are, a little sexist there it seems. Though I think it has to do more with mathematics, a muslim man is more likely to have muslim kids and maybe even convert the wife if it isn't required by them already, where as a muslim women's kids have a good chance of not being muslim if the father is of a different faith. Anywho, you can strike off another if being Agnostic Theist doesn't count, but I've dated several atheist girls before so it's not really "would I?" but "have I?" and to that giggity giggity.
The simple fact is that by being around me long enough, things would happen to the unsuspecting suitor, suitorette. It is unavoidable and I wouldn't be particualarly concerned about what they believed in the past. The amusing part is that I wouldn't have to say a darn thing, lol. My consciousness is more than capable of "doing the talking" on its own and I'd wager that would get their attention.
What an completely empty love.
Yeah, that would likely fall under the banner heading of. "Houston, we have a problem". Seriously though, I may attend a silly church service to mingle a bit, but there is ZERO possibility that I would allign with any group. Curiously though, I wouldn't feel so put out with atheists. I know the role well, so I could act the part with ease. For how long would be the real question.What if s/he demanded you attend the Church of Reality with them? Or worse yet, join the American Atheists league? Woah. I know personally I'd draw the line somewhere...
I don't see why it would be empty. I need a person to share my beliefs to a certain degree if I'm going to be attracted to them. I couldn't date somebody who wasn't okay with homosexuality for instance. They wouldn't need to be an atheist but then the issue of god is simply less important to atheists than it is to theists so I guess it would move up the list of priorities proportionally.
If I am understanding Vassal rightly in that it is a partner's values which matters (in this case Christian ones) over more wordly concerns then I can't think of anything less empty of love.
