I think my girlfriend is a Christian! Advice needed.
- Thread starter MadBaggins
- Start date
I don't think the relation was the problem so much as the cousin also being autistic (or something.)
I can't remember for sure, but I think that his mother and aunt were half-sisters that hadn't met until later in life, which would mean that she was his half-cousin.
I have to say, MadBaggins is some kind of American hero--a simple man motivated by nothing more than the irrepressible urge to get laid. Isn't there a little MadBaggins in all of us? Perhaps more than a bit if your name is Thames.
I think it's more like thousand of years. Who knows what we could have achieved. Supposed? It's a fact, look it up on the internet. And I didn't mean actual bases on the sun's surface.
That would be too hot. I meant all thousans of individual bases rotating around the sun, like a Dyson's Spear. Wouldn't you rather live in that world than a world with religion? I can't help thinking about these things.It's kind of an extension at the back of the church, it's not really part of the church properly.
So, we've arranged to spend all day together tomorrow. I am nervious. I haven't actually had a proper girlfriend for quite a while, due to family problems and other issues. So I might be rusty. But if she is religious she probably doesn't go out with guys all that much anyway (she has indicated such to me) so hopefully she won't notice. I will definitely probe her tomorrow about her beliefs. I won't come right out and ask her, we'll have a nice normal time with no controversial topics of discussion for the first few hours. Maybe for 90% of the time we're together tomorrow. But in the last 10% I'll definitely steer the conversation towards religion. I hope we stay out together until the stars are out because then I can start talking about the wonders of the universe and use that as a segeway into talking about belief.
Mate, i can honestly say that i don't understand your dilemma. Why would her religion be significant? You're an atheist, she's a christian. And?
This entire situation can be solved quite easily. You sit down and talk. Neither side has to abandon their faith (or lack thereof), as long as you both respect each other. Read the definition of tolerance.
A while back i used to date a muslim girl, we never had any problems at all. I respected her religion and customs and she respected mine. Hell, even her father approved, and let me tell you, muslims tend to be picky about these things.
Also, my grandmother is a Jehovah witness, we've never had any arguments about religion either.

Dude this is a joke thread....
Mate, I'd hate to say this. But the more I read this thread, the less certain I become.
SOON there will be probing. That's the important part.

No way this'll backfire. I assume you'll tell us all how wonderfully this went.
I eagerly await your next post.
