I have a problem very much like yours. I recently started attending church and my best friends don't belive in God. I can't talk about the Lord with them and the one time I tried it started a huge fight. It's great that you love your husband even though he thinks different then you do. A lot of people can't do that.

Hey, I didn't know you joined this guild. biggrin

...I don't really have this problem. sweatdrop I'm not planning on dating anyone not Christian, because of a certain Bible verse and because I don't really want to wonder whether he's going to Hell or not. This one guy I almost dated wasn't Christian; I just couldn't date him because it felt too much like I was using the relationship to try to convert him. And non-Christian friends I usually just pray for. Anyway, I hope it gets better for you Apple.

Religion has always been a big part of my life, so I've always looked for a partner with similar beliefs to mine. My boyfriend and I identify slightly differently, but we basically believe the same things, so it works out.

Of course, on the flip side I was kind of with a guy for a while who attended my church. In a lot of ways, he would use Christianity as a means of manipulating me to do what he wanted. There were times when I was dating other guys he didn't like, and he would tell me I was sinning and then give me biblical scripture telling me it was his Christian duty to let me know I was being sinful. Because he was a close friend and someone I had grown spiritually with, I listened to him, when really he was using my faith to get me to do what he wanted.

I'm really sorry to hear that your husband hasn't been as understand about your faith as he should be. I guess just keep trying to talk to him? He just needs to understand that it's important to you, and it's something he needs to support.

Hah that's so christian.

But yeah that's lame of him as an Atheist. I'm not exactly a theist, but I think it's wrong for anyone to shove their beliefs or lack ther of down anyone elses throats.

OMG, we had the same problem! When I was a Christian, I dated a Christian guy and it was similar. He pretty much beat me and tried to justify it with the Bible.

Some men girl I tell ya..They're sorry as hell..

People shouldn't be pushy with their religion.
