Posted: 5/8/2008 4:32:25 AM | well it depends.....
Lets go through this little checklist:
1. Are you against gay rights ?
2. Are you a republican ?
3. Better yet do you see the political or religious right as representing the teachings of Jesus ?
4, Do you hold to a literal intepretation of he bible ?
5. Do you disregard seperation of church and state ?
6. Do you believe you have the right to impose your version of your christian values on the society at large ?
7. Is your sexual expression dictated by your intepretation of scripture ?
8. Do you believe christianity is the only true faith...?
9. You reject social justice issue as just something "liberals" do
if you answered "YES" to any of these..... Then YES I'M SCARED and will run the other direction as fast as I can

Jesus Christ, who I consider the greatest of all men allowed himself to be submissive to death for our sakes.
How is this different from any of the firemen who entered WTC? They knew they were running to their deaths, and it wasn't to save all of mankind, but merely a few thousand sinful New Yorkers. | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 1:29:20 PM | No, because I am a christian male and am seeking same in my relationship. My 1st wife was Jewish, I will dance a Horah around the Torah with the best of them. But religion plays 2 important roles.
1 It weeds out the opportunistic, insincere, selfish, vain and mean spirited women right off the bat, so all you women who feel speaking about their "whatever" values without any understanding of where this and all of it comes from. Please seek professional help, you could'nt afford my hourly rate.
2 If you meet the one that you know in your heart of hearts is the 1 God has sent, then 2 committed people are in an exclusive dating and sexual relationship, married or not.
When your under 40 and your figuring on kids then marraige and waiting sexually till after marriage is important. If your over 50 then marraige might not be the immediate need but compatability leading to marriage is and having children is not truly an option then. What 2 adults do behind their bedroom doors is their business with God as witness so enjoy the sensuality and give it your all. If her values are different then yours, both people need honesty to discuss their needs. This decision to do or not to do doesnot lessen or diminish our core christian values. Remembering Christ came for the worst of us not the best of us, recall the prodigal son.
Well thats my view, thanks and God Bless, and to all of the rest, "Hey, really nice weather here in LA lately and how about them Lakers, Huh?" | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 4:02:51 PM | voodooguru, The firemen who went to the WTC and many others who are heros are to be sincerely admired. I have to die some way and if dying to save someones life or quality of life is the way I go that would be prefered.
However, the submission of Jesus Christ to the cross is significantly different. He asked his father if there were a different way, and when there was not he submitted. He not only died, but he died in shame because he bore my sin and that of all mankind which his own father had to turn away from. Therefore his statement was "my God why hast thou forsaken me." He was exalted afterward, as should all heros but I don't think that made the process more bearable, just more worthwhile for him, and all of us if we accept it. At least that is the way I see it.
Truly Christian women, and men live similar lives therefore don't scare those off who understand. However we don't do it as perfectly as Christ, and there are imposters which makes us subject to suspicion. We have to see by the way a person lives whether they are close to the ideal Christian, or not.

Posted: 5/8/2008 4:10:29 PM | Anyone who wears their faith on their sleeve and not in their heart scares the bejeebus outta me. That said, a lady who is true won't scare me off - more likely I'd be the one scaring her off.
But I pretty much let bygones be bygones...
Bye...gone!

Posted: 5/8/2008 5:22:34 PM | | I personally am not religious but I like the idea of having a religious woman as long as she doesnt take it too far, the reason I think that Im thinking this way now is Ive never really been with a religious girl and I always end up with girls that start off sweet and everything then turn out to be sluts | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 6:02:04 PM | | Men realize this depends on the religion,in some,pre marital sex on any level would be extremely sinful and get them excommunicated whereas other ladies in other religions find so much passion and play in their life one has to wonder,"what religion is she even in"geez sign me up,shes having more fun than me.No one likes anyone that real preachy or one that feels so much better than another,one needs to remember there are over 200 major religions: Muslim ,Islamic,Christianity,Buddist,Daoism,Shintuism,Taoism,ect.,they're are all so different,yet each member is confident that their religion is the correct one,this is a point where I fault organized religion,but no, a christian woman does not scare me off,I value her opinion as much as she needs to value mine,I'm not looking for a clone of myself. | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 8:55:09 PM | It is threads like these that make me truly feel like the most incompatible man on this service. it truly does seem that the term "Christian" really is an un-welcomed figure to the majority, even furthering the already limited selection available.
I suppose that mild observation is acceptable, as anyone out of that abundance of individuals is an entity that i certainly would'nt mesh well with. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 8:25:03 AM | If you are whatever you say you are, I have no idea what a Wiccan is, never heard of such a thing....and if you are strong in your "faith" then you really should not be "scared" of them...but just the fact that you admit that you are, says a lot about you...plus I don't know or understand why a Christian person would want to date someone with your belief system....the two just do NOT go together....they are mutually exclusive....it is that simple.....
I think people should be true to their own faith and relationship to God before looking for a suitable and appropriate match for dating or for life.... | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 7:23:51 AM | I go to church twice a week. Sing in the choir. Substitue teach the junior high sunday school class.
&
HELL YEAH, seeing a bunch of space in a profile dedicated to how important Christianity is to a woman sacres me off.
Anyone who leads their introduction with '...washed in the blood of the lamb', or '....a personal relationship with my one and only God the Lord Jesus, my Christ and Savior', or '...the asurance of salvation and the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, blah blah blah, ....' , needs to be looking for a husband at a seminary college, not on an internet dating site FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!!!
You'll notice that my profile sates very clearly that I "sing in the church choir, and curse like a sailor." I think that gets the point across quite nicely. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 12:49:13 PM | | I dont think that people scare off because you are a christian...there are lots things that people scare off of something not only in religious aspect....just think that you cannot please everybody and will back off with you in any ways. | |

1 It weeds out the opportunistic, insincere, selfish, vain and mean spirited women right off the bat
Those are the atributes that I only ever find in religious people. In fact in all my dealings with people who attend church the outstanding characteristics that most of them display are outright dishonestly & insincerity. Baptists being the worse offenders, they seem incapable of giving straight answers to anything & could make a living as professional liars. | |

Posted: 7/26/2008 7:59:39 AM | to NoMexShrek,
Im sorry to hear what happened to you. It's people like your wife that give my Lord a bad name. It's sad that people try to use God to manipulate other people to get their own way. A true Christian will always try to do God's will, not their own. But, God is not responsible for their hypocrisy or actions, so please don't judge God by what people do, but learn to know HIM as the merciful, loving God that He is. To judge God by other's actions is like saying, "My best friend's wife is cheating on him, therefore MY wife is cheating on me." You wouldn't blame your wife for what another does, so please dont blame God for what other people do, as that is how prejudice gets started.
and, just because i could say I'm an astro physicist, that doesnt make me one. Most people call themselves Christians but have NO clue as to what even the basics of a TRUE Christian really are. A Christian is someone who has accepted Christ as their Savior AND as their Lord. That means they are to "be like Christ" who said, "Not MY will, but GODS will be done." The Bible teaches us what Gods will is & if we neglect or refuse to do HIS will, we are not a true child of His. We may say we are, but we are deceiving ourselves.
Also, as Christians, we are still human, not perfect, so we fail, but that is the beauty of God's wonderful grace & mercy towards us, that, even tho we deserve to be punished for our sins & failures, Christ paid the debt of our sins with His very own blood. He took our punishment upon Himself, so that we would be spared the punishment. its as if you murdered someone & was sentenced to death but Jesus decided to die in your place so that you might have eternal life. Do you know anyone in your life who would do that for you? Who can refuse a Love so great as that with which He loves us?
Ive been used, abused & abandoned by almost everyone in my life, but Christ has never left me or forsaken me. He can always be there for you too if you will allow Him to.
God LOVES you!…even if your wife didnt.
God's bondslave. | |

Most Christian women don't scare me off. I couldn't be with a fundamentalist though. At the same time I would never stick with someone who got off on denigrating someone else's beliefs in a higher power. | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 12:41:58 PM | For anyone who is non-religious (like myself), dating a devout Christian, Jew, Muslim, Sikh, Mormon...anything, is a problem. It is inevitable that religion would come between people at some point in this scenario.
If someone lists a religion it isn't necessarily time to click the 'x', some people list it because their parents were this religion. However, if someone is clearly a devoutly religious person, then I wouldn't message them as I think its nonsense. | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 12:49:22 PM | | Being devout in a religion of any kind does not scare me off as long as the person is truly tolerant of my beliefs. I do realize having vastly different religious view points can be a problem but it is not a deal breaker. | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 2:31:25 PM | they dont scare me, I'm not afraid of shit, I just choose not to associate myself with people that believe a Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his body and telepathically tell him he is your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in all of humanity ever since a talking snake convinced a naked woman to eat from a tree, the earth is only 6,000 years old and god laid dinosaur bones here to test our faith - yeah makes perfect sense dont it? if I wanted to date a retard I'd pick up on women at the special Olympics (now all you angry christians take it out on rating my shitty picture a 1, hahahaa I DONT GIVE A SHIT) | |

I totally agree with one small exception: I'd say doesn't have to be a dealbreaker, for some it is. People with different beliefs and points of view in many areas other than just religion have happy, successful long term relationships. Key word being tolerant, for me that means we mutually accept each other and leave it at that. Don't try to persuade, badger or influence them to be like us. | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 8:50:31 PM | My ex broke up with me because I wasn't christian, so I do tend to avoid profiles with Christian on them.
Though, I wouldn't have a problem with someone who is Christian, as long as they aren't the "You need to find Jesus and I am better than you because I have" kind of christian.
To me, the best religious people don't go to church, they just believe what they do, and keep it to themselves. | |
