Not really. It's only that I'm tired of those "I can't be bothered with complying with Christian tenets like fidelity, no sex outside marriage, no divorce, no abortion, etc., but I'm a Christian nonetheless" women. | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 4:03:41 AM | I think when it gets down to it, this is why I don't believe in god or religion. The idea is that you're not allowed to take only in part what you want to get from it, at least when I only subscribe to my beliefs they are mine. They aren't always correct and they can be changed easily when new information presents itself.
People can disagree with me and while I dislike it, the fact is in the end I have to defend my beliefs and if I can't, I have to change them accordingly upon being proved wrong. Religions aren't like that, their beliefs are the infallible word of God, to dispute them is to dispute the existence of God, to dispute the existence of God is blasphemy and I will go to hell. If they concede to my opinion they're coming with me.
I don't worry about going to hell, I worry about disappointing my family, myself or my significant other and that's about it because at least I know for a fact they are there. | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 5:51:50 AM | Religion, in a nutshell, is just another form of Mind control. It is not the same as sprituality. Regardless of whether you're a Xtian (Christian), muslim,a follower of the older Orthodox Judaism, Mormonism, whatever the faith, just realise that most of these people who practice religion haven't got a clue where it comes from and what it truly means.
As a guy who has researched this point from many angles, I can state clearly that religion is absolutely not the same a spirituality...I just thought I'd put my 2 pence worth in here. If you state that your religious, please make sure you understand why you are. Basic tenets of any faith (say the Gospel of Jesus Christ as an example of Christianity, or the worship of The Virgin Mary as The Roman Catholics focus on) is not the be all and end all of understanding it.
Just remember this fact: When you go to church (hopefully on a Saturday!!), do you observe something "holy", or do you witness a pagan, sacrificial ritual of a man being tortured, crucified and then you consume his flesh and blood. Think long and hard about that.
I will say one thing though, Christianity, Islam and Orthodox Judaism are, in essence, ALL THE SAME, just depends if you want to separate them somehow..
My advice: Say you're spritual and religion disappears into obscurity.
Peace

Posted: 3/4/2008 6:46:43 AM | I wouldn't say they scare me but I would generally give them a pass for the following reasons.
The 2 messianic religions that dominate the world today, christianity and islam, posit the supreme being, creator and ruler of the universe.
from my perspective as an atheist (ok, so I don't "know"), If I actually believed in a boss of everything, I would be sucking up to him every minute of every day.
If they are on the religious path I'll respect them for their conviction but, since I don't share the belief,I don't want to spend all my time being shepharded toward the light.
And if they claim faith without commitment, then they've clearly not considered the implications of the claim or decided not to act on them-flaws of intellect or character. | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 6:50:38 AM | its a personal thing. some men are looking for it, some are not. just like with....well about anything.
me personally? its a deal breaker because personal experience has taght me two things. Either 1) she is actually a practicing Christian and would be uninterested in me because of her personal beliefs. 2) she is a "practicing" Christian who doesnt actually do things like........go to church, pray, follow anything the bible says to do but they are a christian non-the-less | |

Posted: 3/6/2008 11:35:11 PM | | Usually, yes. Not just Christian though. Not really a fan of religious people generally, be you Muslim, Christian or otherwise. I mean, we all have families and some of our families are old fashioned...that's fine, as long as they aren't nosy and gettin' in the way. But if you're a regular chuch-goer, wait-til-marriage-for-sex kind of girl...Then I'm sorry, but you ain't for me. | |

Posted: 3/7/2008 12:38:23 AM | I am more interested in and attracted to the kind of woman who would unlikely be Christian.
For example, have you ever seen the movie, Zeitgeist? It's online and available to download for free. | |

Posted: 3/7/2008 6:29:26 AM | | I prefer women that derive their truth from avenues a little more recent than a couple thousand yrs ago, or handful of centuries (King James) ago. I'm not much for believing in talking snakes. Unless you mean the ones in the White House. In that case I believe in their existence, just not what they say. No offense to actual snakes btw. They won't mind, since they don't read. | |

My question is how many of you see the word christian and get scared off by it?
Do you equate "christian " with someone who is cold and religious; no fun and no passion!?
Do you even bother reading the rest of the profile after seeing this?
I'm not "scared off" by the word, if just alerts me to the fact that the person most likely isn't playing with a full deck & probably needs to get a grip with reality. | |

Just remember this fact: When you go to church (hopefully on a Saturday!!) ... Well ... we know that's Jewish and we all know what that means ... Jews consider all others to be the scum of the earth ... lower than dirt. The Jews consider themselves to be the only "chosen" ones. But then so do the Christians ...
... or do you witness a pagan, sacrificial ritual of a man being tortured, crucified and then you consume his flesh and blood. Huh??? The Christians eat Jesus' flesh and blood?
My advice: Say you're spritual and religion disappears into obscurity. I don't think people should proclaim they are anything but exactly what they are. If they really are "spiritual" then say so.
Many are "spiritual but not religious" ... often the way I describe myself. There are those who are not religious and certainly not spiritual either and that's why I don't encourage people to proclaim they are anything but what they truly are.
If I read that a man is "Christian", I just click the "NEXT" button ... as fast as possible. I consider it for a "put off". I am not religious and do not want to date any men who are.
Even though people say they can tolerate non-religious partners ... 99.9999999% who are religious just do not have any tolerance for non-religious people. They eventually get to "hounding" the non-religious person. Nagging them to either go to church with them or then nag the non-religious person to believe.
I dated a man who said he could tolerate my views and in the end he was nagging me to believe as he knew that he was going to heaven and wanted me to go there too. Next thing I knew, he was stating that he just didn't think he could live with someone he knew was going to H3ll. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 6:12:58 PM | This particular topic astonishes me. Why would anyone get scared off by a christian woman? What exactly would scare someone that much. Is it the fact they don't conform to societys' rules and lack of morality.
Anyway, just wanted to state that I am one of those old-fashioned christian women who is a great person ! Those who can't handle a real woman need not read or reply to my profile.
Those who are christian men with high morals looking for more need to reply.

No, it's the claim by many Christians like yourself that they have some sort of monopoly on morality. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 6:22:57 PM | hmm
I would have to say it depends on how far she takes it.
Some woman go to far, some not far enough. So it just depends
what the guy likes and what he believes. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 6:39:08 PM | 'Tis said of the denomination in which I grew up that our young women don't have to drink and smoke to have fun! And verily it is so! When Christianity is good it is a very very good thing, and when it is bad it is much more trouble than anyone wants to have anything to do with.
But I've found what people say they believe or do not believe is one thing, and what they really believe is another. Sometimes people live up to their labels and sometimes they do not; me included. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 6:39:40 PM | As soon as i hear "Christian"... i think "robots programmed to tell you religious stuff that can't back up with facts. great talkers... horrible listeners."
I run like hell. | |

Posted: 3/9/2008 5:44:21 PM | Honestly, there are few things a woman could have on her profile that make her less of a catch than an indication that she's strongly religious.
In my experience, they tend to be judgmental and incredibly irrational.
If nothing else, just make sure you don't try to "save" anyone. | |
|
| Do Christian Women Scare You Off ???
Posted: 3/9/2008 9:32:26 PM | | Yes, they do. I would never in a million years date a lady who calls herself a Christian. My mother was a holly roller and she shoved it down my throat my entire youth growing up. I’ve seen more weird shit under the name of God that I’d like to ever admit even. Thankfully, I’m all grown up now. I am agnostic and close to an atheist actually, and I am so glad the brainwashing didn't stick and ruin my life. | |

Actualy, i dont mind religios people, aslong as they understand that i am in no need of my soul to be saved by thier chosen diety and that i, in most cases, find religions and thier teachings amusing as there leaders are hypocritical. ^_^ | |

Yes. Even if I'm technically christian or catholic (still don't know which is which) but...
My interests in philosophy doesn't get along very well with religion. I don't mind thinking about it or discussing it but its real life application, well that's another story. | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 12:56:20 AM | | I'm not scared by Christian women, but I'm not Christian. If you state first in your profile that your a Christian woman or as I've seen it a "God fearing" woman, I know right away you're not what I'm looking for. I was born and raised Methodist, but I've learned in my time that religion is, among things, a way to separate and ostrosize people. Not the way I want to be, so not what I'm looking for in a woman. | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 1:36:00 AM | I was kind of disturbed... I went to Xtangent's profile and she was listed as Non-religious. Either she's a Christian hiding behind a non-religious profile... or Rock_Hunter broke her faith. I'm just not sure which would be worse.
The last woman who sent me unsolicited mail urging me to convert to Christianity was not a very well-written person, which I assume to mean slow of thought as well. I told her that I wasn't interested in debating theology with her, and if she persisted I would "Shake her Faith." Which I'd consider a pretty dire threat.
Posts like TrueBeauty's just emphasize to me how the problem isn't that they scare me away... it's that we wouldn't be compatible. She said that she wanted Christian men of High Morals to contact her. I noticed that she doesn't equate Christian with High Morals, although really most Christians would. One of the people that I respect the most is a Christian... because he walks the walk. However, I would take a great deal of umbrage to anyone who thought that because I'm not Christian that I can't also have high morals. One of my Teachers said that he thought of religion as a parenting tool "don't do bad things, because you'll make Baby Jesus cry." I think that's a morality based on fear; my own morality is that I don't do bad things because it will make me feel bad; I am responsible for my own behaviour.
Cotter: When Catholics take Communion they receive (eat and drink) "The Body and Blood of Christ." This is represented through unleavened biscuits and watered red wine. Catholicism = Cannabalism? Spiritually perhaps, but not literally. Now, when you want to talk Food and Religion, you just can't beat the Pastafarians. Belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster... and when it's time to take Communion by consuming the body and blood of this Starchy Deity, that's a double scoop of al dente noodles smothered in a rich tomato sauce! www.venganza.org Have you been touched by his Noodly Appendage? | |
