I can quote scripture verbatim, but the only thing I want to convert is my lovelife  | |

Posted: 10/21/2007 8:50:00 PM | Sorry if I missed anything cause I sorta skipped some of the pages. Anyway in one way no I wouldn't be scared off by a christian woman, but i'm agnostic so as long as she dosen't try and push her religion on me i'm fine but if a woman is like one of those highschool girls I saw so many back in my highschool days go and turn all christian and try to push it on people all the time then I will most likely keep my distance. The only two people I deal with that subject are both men my friend bryan whom is going to be a minister. And my friend jon who is a devoted christian however I frequently tell him to please change the subject.
I have my reasons for being agnostic however they are to personal to be put up on this website. | |

I have no problem meeting, dating, dancing, drinking, bedding a woman of Christian faith. Do it all the time around here.
I always read the profile a couple of times before writing or replying and I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Now for you. how down to earth and exactly how much passion?

Posted: 10/21/2007 10:11:38 PM | | Maybe because it is the FIRST thing stated on profile, they think you're some hardcore bible thumper that will drill em to become a follower also. Just like those lovely Mormons who can't take no for an answer. Religion is alright and nothing wrong with somebody who believes in it, I do but I hate people who shove it down my throat. So maybe thats why they're running? afraid you'd be one? not saying you are lol. I know I run from a guy cause he's so into it hardcore and always tries to convince me to be a church person thingy | |

In other words, they're not scaring me off. I'm just not going to waste both of our time. | |

Posted: 10/22/2007 5:05:59 AM | | It scares me off because I'm not Christian, and I feel that if someone is religious enough to post it in their profile they're probably religious enough for it to become an issue at some point in the future. | |

Posted: 10/22/2007 12:35:07 PM | | I was brought up a Roman Catholic, and though I gave up on that jazz a while back and would define myself an agnostic, the values are sound. Let's put it this way - so long as you didn't waste your time and mine trying to "convert" me or quoting passages from Revelations, Paul's Letters to the Romans II or whatever, it's all fine. I won't try to change your beliefs, you don't try to change mine. Capisce? | |

lyricallady , "One misconstrued concept is that Christian = religious" so the whole crusades thing was just a punch of drunk frat boys out to have a little fun ?
anytime anyone mentions god , religion , jesus in any combination more than three times I think Cool-aid and Jim Jones or for you not so old Wacko Texas.
LOL! You've got to be kidding! Thats like comparing apples and oranges. The one has nothing to do with the other. It's unfortunate, but most don't get the concept, so I'm not the least bit offended by your comment.
No ranting, not pushing my beliefs on ya, just sorry that you've obviously had a negative encounter with a "so called" Christian.
By the way...I'm a coke drinker myself!!! (SMILE) It's justa little humor! | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 10:27:34 AM | I was raised 1st Baptist, but I consider myself spiritual these days (which unfortunately isn't a selection on POF).
Organized religion is the root of all evil IMHO.
I'm not turned off by a woman who selects "Christian" in that dropbox on your profile edit screen, but I'm totally turned off by women that start in about how in love with Jesus they are and how Jesus comes 1st in their life etc. etc. etc. in their profile.
It's not that I have anything against Jesus mind you, but when one goes on and on about it I see "bible-thumper" written all over and I run for the hills! 
Rumor has it that there's a stream up yonder in them there hills, where the water is crystal clear and the fishin is Heaven! 
I keep searchin for it....

Posted: 10/24/2007 10:41:21 AM | | Christianity along with other religions is a sliding contrast. I myself am a christian and my father was a preacher, but I think its wrong to be super religious. I have my faith and try to live a good life but im not cold and I dont push my beliefs on others like alot of religious people do. | |

Posted: 10/25/2007 5:22:00 PM | Anyone who boldly states what their religion is is probably intent on sharing it with you. Repeatedly. And often.
No thanks. | |

Posted: 11/10/2007 11:49:34 PM | For me yes for the most part.
Why? because i am a witch and according to the christian traditions someone who does not worship god and god only, worships the devil.
That and usually somewhere along the line they want to try to convert me to christ.
However i have no problem dating a christian woman who belives that there is more than one path to god and can respect that fact even though we follow different paths to god.
nor try to convert me to christianity. Unfortunately such open minded christians are fairly rare in my experience.
When i see christian in the profile. especially if its specified in the "about me" section
The first impression i get is: closed minded, repressed, careless attitude concerning the environment, and oppressive attitudes concerning spirituality
This impression is formed from the many many countless interactions with devout christians that i have experienced 34 years here including 10+ years being homeless.
I have met some really cool and open minded christians that are awesome people, but unfortunately i meet the other type far far more often.
Its not so much that i wouldn't date such a girl. its more likely she would not want me because she thinks i worship the devil. Or if she did its because she hopes to "witness" to me converting to christ at some time in the future.
I am however not against christianity as in i am not anti-christian as i believe everyone has the right to follow their own path to spirituality and god.
I just prefer not to interact with christians due to fundimental differences in opinion, spirituality, the nature of god, life, morality and politics.
I usually pass such profiles by and let a nice christain man be the one to answer and respond :) since that is likely why someone would put that in their profile | |

Posted: 11/10/2007 11:51:40 PM | | Yes, it scares the be Jesus out of me. Well, it doesn't scare me. I just ignore them. You're not my type. AT ALL. | |

Posted: 11/11/2007 12:38:22 AM | | Well, if I remember my bible correctly, St. Paul recommends Christians not be "unequally yoked" with non believers. I'm an agnostic and while not scared off by christians--I admire St. Thomas--respect their theology enough not to try to be yoked to them, equally or unequally. So if its just a date, I have no problem. If its something more than that, then I would be inappropriately encouraging them not to follow their own theology. | |

Posted: 11/11/2007 12:38:26 AM | How can one be a non-religious Christian? That's an oxymoron. I understand that some people don't actively practice their religion to the extent others take it to, but that doesn't make much sense to me. By believing in Christ and the teachings of the bible, people are accepting a set of morals and religious beliefs that are life-altering. There are a lot of ideas inherent to Christianity that conflict negatively with non-believers.
I've seen a few multi-religion relationships work out, but the issues that are likely to arise are more numerous than a lot of people are willing to deal with. | |

did you know that the word religion is only mentioned 5 times in the whole bible and out of that, 4 of them are talking about the laws of the religious leaders who Jesus rebuked constanly for there hypocrasy?!
and the 5th time we are taught this...
Jam 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
true religion to God is love
I am a christian and i have a relationship with God
religion in the worlds eyes are man made
I believe the bible is inspired by God himself so the law of love i keep is from Him, not from man
that is why it is not an oxymoron to me | |

Posted: 11/12/2007 11:33:59 AM | I am not scared if I see Christian in someone's profile.
However, if their profile is filled with bible references and such, I know we will not be compatible, even as friends.
I've had some really religious friends in the past and our conversations many times started getting into them trying to enforce their beliefs on me. It got very frustrating. | |
