Why Do So Many Women Require That I Must Love God?

Just Em: Love your vigilance, good looking out!

People will make up anything that seems to support their beliefs...

During natural disasters, horrible accidents, wars, terrorist attacks (like 9/11)...
when sick or dying.....do people pray more, even if they have never prayed or
believed in God before?

Answer: YOU BET!!!!

ON TOPIC: If someone is seeking another Christian or person of their same faith, it does NOT mean they aren't tolerant of other's beliefs...you can respect another's faith without having to DATE them......

Seriously, why is it so complicated to understand the concept of being
EQUALLY YOKED???? Most fit people want another person who is fit and all seem to accept that as logical. Why should FAITH, a characteristic that is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, be treated any differently??



Peace, Blessings,

Wow, can you say JEALOUSY???? (Sound of a Cat's growl)

I think you need to go back and check out your own pics, Lizard Lady...

For example, #3....your'e showing off your goods in that super tight tshirt with " I love Twinkies" and arching your back over to give them girls some "altitude"....LOL....

Always watch the one who's pointing fingers.....I tell ya......LOL......
what your wearing is none of my business, but I want you to understand that personal assaults can go both ways, Lizard...

Seriously, what you see is what I am, baby...no hypocrisy here...I may not fit YOUR definition of "PIOUS" but you also don't know a thing about how I live my life....what I do or how I do it....but God does...he sees EVERYTHING.... God will judge me and I am FINE with that.

Peace, blessings,

We were made in God's image. God wants us to be happy and healthy. Taking care of yourself is important. I have body builder friends that compete and have their pictures everywhere. I have had friends that model and have some pictures in undergarments. It isn't the clothing you wear, it is who is in it that is important. It is how you treat others. If you can't care about yourself, how can you care about others?

That specific photo was taken at the Grand Canyon which is very high. I have a fear of heights. If you will notice I also have chaps on and horrible hair from when I took my helmet off. I was on a motorcycle going to the Grand Canyon. I did take off my leather coat when I walked around the park but not my chaps.

I have many picture of myself in bikinis but I would not put them on my public profile then thump the bible. I wouldnt put them on my profile at all. Religion has nothing to do with morals which is my point.

I think they once took a toll a about 3 or 4 years back, and I recall (don't quote me on this), because the numbers may have changed (that) it was 80 % of America wasn't sure about a God.
Wow, that's 8 out of 10 American's that are un-religious!
I find that is true. There are lots of people who don't go to church. Or believe in a God or higher power, but don't really practice their beliefs.
Please don't take this wrong, but I am curious : with all the NON- religious people, why do you have problems with talking to someone who believes in what you believe in?
It sounds like you have it easier than a person who is looking for love, with the same religious beliefs. Their search is quite more narrow than yours.
But as Christ says "Narrow is the gate, that leads to everlasting life".

Ever hear about The New Covenent?

This is true. Which is probably why to those people that it IS important to? When they meet people that aren't of the same faith as them? That they just keep them as friends, not dates.


Seriously, why is it so complicated to understand the concept of being

Umm....didn't you just contradict yourself there? "Fit people want fit people, so why shouldn't *certain* religious-minded folk seek out *other* religious-minded folk...especially since you just said it is a characteristic SO MUCH MORE important??

OP, I have no idea why some people put cheesecake/beefcake shots up, and then add to their profile that they're looking for someone "God-minded". One would think, though, that God knows we all have a body (after all didn't He make them?) so I guess it's what we choose to do with our free will after that. Frankly, God wouldn't enter into it for me, in that case....I would just think it was a person with low self-esteem that thought they had no other better features to offer the world, and pass them by. But, different strokes for different folks, and all that...who's to say what's right or wrong, just what's right or wrong for YOU.

I wish there were MORE religious single women in my area,my choices seem to be between the tattooed lady and the "friends with benefits".
Off-topic:if a woman wants to to post photos of her in a bikini then I'm all for it,far be it from me to criticize Gods greatest creation. ;)

Do they specify which God?


Seriously, I don't mind Christians, but the bible-thumping-fundamentalist-dominionists probably won't like the message they get from me.

But I do think that some religions do teach different morals, ethics, ethos, etc. etc. I agree that believing in what I read in the Bible doesn't contridict taking care of oneself. Taking care of yourself and being proud of it is not wrong. I don't see there being bad morals in anyone having photos on the net in bikinis, men or women.

Almost no clothing was worn into the 1800's in some countries, but the Christian Missionaries went to these countries and said it was wrong and the styles changed. I don't feel the people that just had a covering below were immoral. That is what happened to Native Americans. The native group located in Virginia did not wear clothing until they were in their teens. Of course once the ships landed that slowly changed.

I don't "thump" Bibles, I read them and will talk to people about the stories I have read.

I think people need to reflect on the religious practice of sacrificing virgins. Obviously, no one wanted to give up the sluts!

Well Lottie, the Cleavage for Jesus crowd might thump their bibles, but they don't spend much time reading them if they think hangin' out (so to speak) online is the message from the New Testament. Modern America has a new type of Church - the Church of Jesus Christ, Validator. This Jesus is basically a dude who walks by your side, and tells you whatever it is you've a mind to do is just exactly what He would do. Divorced three or four times, multiple affairs? He's down with that. Credit cards all maxed out? Well so are His.

Probably about the most fundamental message of Christianity (btw - fairy tales in my opinion) is abnegation of physical things in favor of the spirit. The body is looked an as an enemy, and the body's needs a dangerous distraction from the path of holiness. The bible says:

'And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.'

not

'And if your boobs are big, flaunt them on PoF'

Christ's message is about denial of the body, not celebration.

As a christian, I would like a man who is a christian because, if he lives what he believes, and he lives to be the kind of husband that the Bible says is a good husband, he would be AMAZING!!!

Sorry, but too many players around...

Jeepers, there must be some different Bibles out there. I never read Jesus aka Christ quoted as saying that there was anything evil about one's body. Evil things he kicked out of bodies. And I always read about how he would tell everyone to treat each other well, not to harm or speak bad of others, how we were children of God made in his image, keep His Temple healthy etc.

Maybe that is a problem in the dating world. Women that believe in God and Jesus are somehow suppose to live by someone else's views on what a Christian is supposed to be, how they should be, what they should do, how they should dress, etc. and that is why it makes it easier to date a man that is also a Christian. No judging, just loving.

Ok...must get off this thread...off this thread...off this thread...yes, I do yoga too...

Yea.... too bad he missed a few thousand catholic priests whose evil remained in their bodies, mind and soul........ not to mention the Bishops ( and other higher ups ) who knowingly concealed their evil for decades ...... and letting the child molestations continue...... and then hide behind their high dollar attorneys....... All in the name of Christ.......

Yup...... God works in strange ways alright

That is the doctrine of Christ Validator. Christianity means whatever anyone wants it to mean, which means it means nothing at all. This why I laugh about the idea that modern Americans are more religious today than ever - it's just lip service.


No judging, just loving.


Please recall that St Paul (I think) said 'It is better to marry than to burn.' So watch that pre-marriage lovin' lest you be judged.

Did anyone see the HBO special series on Porn. One of the questions was, "do relationships in the business last?" They interviewed this couple that married in their late teens, immediately ran off to do missionary for work in Alaska then, went to South Central LA for more missionary work but eventually ended up staring in and producing porn and ran a successful business. They were married for 25 years and looked happy. Maybe we need to look at religion in a new light?

That special kind of intimacy requires closeness, a closeness that makes one very vulnerable. Having someone look into your eyes and into your very soul is a very personal thing. It's far different than just a heated exchange of body fluids. You will find that deep emotional bond best with someone that has your same value system.

Just read some of the replies to these POF threads and you will soon find droves of others that do not share your value system. These people will flat out ridicule Christians at times being very rude towards the core values that guide us along the path of life. Any relationship with these types may create heat but not the magic. So, that is why women place a statement that you must love God.

I know that must sound strange to you.

However, I too seek someone who believes.

If I see a profile where it says they don't believe in God, I move on. For we would not be compatible. Like 180* degrees out of kilter...

most woman don't even have a clue when they state that phrase. Its usually written by "I have a hatred toward the world woman" which totally contradicts christianity anyway, and by woman who use that phrase to control and manipulate men instead of of loving and respecting their fellow human beings. I've never met a godly woman who has even come close to living that phrase, and real godly woman would rather serve the poor in Africa than date a men anyway. Of note the first 2 comandments of god are usually alwas broken by those who profess to know god...how ironic
