Should you marry someone who politically and religiously different than you?

That is very smart of her, though not in HER best interest of her childerns eternal life. What about your dad and his views and comments to you about yours or your mothers beliefs?

You are coming from he standpoint of a religious extremist. My mother's standpoint was not so imposing. What was she to do, force me to be a Catholic? Force me to believe that if I don't believe in Jesus Christ I will go to hell? In my opinion that leads to even worse problems.

As far as my Dad goes, he never was really into Church. I probably have the same views as he does. We never actually talk about it because it does not matter to us.

It does". Spoken so eloquently and from an educated point of view. If you read my above post, in which I actually agreed with chillmeister, you would be informed that I said EXACTLY what you just said. I plan to inform my child of my beliefs and her mother's beliefs in a non-biased and educated manner. Then we will let her explore her options and let her come to her own conclusions.

If, in fact, you're not a Christian, then what religion do you subscribe to that offers "eternal afterlife" as opposed to "worm food"?

I don't need "your luck", since it seems to be uneducated, uninformed and biased. I would offer you my sympathies, but I'm not going to waste my effort.

Bitte, verschärfte ernehmung ?

I am only stating some, though not, an athiest view as compaired to a very STRONG Baptist VIEW. ..Don't fool yourself..when kids come along..things take a turn as to what they should be raised as. If you two can come to terms with this, then that is really great. On the other hand, in strong Baptist views, it certainly will come out. I have learned my experience as did by others in my own boat.

It can be done and is by many.

Once you have children, are they gonna do the Baptist thing of emersion and speaking in toungues to be saved? Will you understand their ignorace and how would you handle that know that they love you with all their hearts according to teir mother.............TO SAVE YOU.

Well, if she really isn't a great believer in it all, then you might just have a chance with them....Sorry for being so blunt.

I can't really make sense of what you're tying to say.

I don't think you need to apologize to people who do not share your extremist views.

He's saying that the idea of a middle ground is totally beyond his capacity.

Thank you. Or is that sarcasm?

What you need to understand is that we have already "come to terms" with our situation. I'll never force my beliefs down my daughter's throat. Nor will her mother do the same. I had the Christian belief force-fed to me my whole life, in the most extremist way, I might add. That's the contributing factor as to why I'm an atheist. Am I anti-Christian, you ask? No. I am not. I'm better than that. Is my wife anti-atheism? Again, no. It's all a matter of boundaries, if you ask me.

I was not being sarcastic....

Glad you have an intuitive and foreseeing handle on that. It's a very big determination on how a marriage would weather.

Then, again, I thank you. I foresee my marriage as a long and happy one with a productive household that will incorporate understanding and tolerance.

Exceptions are nice to hear of. 😊

HOLY SHIT....that's where I'd draw the line.

Seriously though, it depends. If she makes you happy it doesn't really matter what she votes. If, what she votes, gets in the way of that though, it's a problem.

We have great arguments over that ass, Bill O'reilly. It doesn't make us hate eachother. It's quite fun.
