moimeme Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Is it? I didn't know that counted if you think there is some sort of higher being out there but don't think it's exactly the way the Bible describes it. Word History: An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven but holds that one cannot know for certain whether or not they exist http://www.dictionary.com But I'm also open to the fact that I could easily be wrong Kudos for that. Seriously. People get so stuck in beliefs they refuse to even think they might be wrong. However, there's not one thing that we know now that may not be changed entirely by new information someday. My theory is that God and things spiritual will all be understood someday when people master travelling between dimensions - assuming we don't blow ourselves to Hades or pollute the world to death before that happens.
dyermaker Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 It's a myth that only theists are set in their ways, and only theists wish to convert you. Will anyone concede that there are atheists who are just as dogmatic as even the most fundamentalist Christians?

I sincerely admire your tolerance savethedrama4yrmama I would have trouble to accept such a different view from my partner even though I think one should be more open if you care for someone.
Author Grinning Maniac Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 Forgot about this thread lol. Well, I talked to her. I asked her some questions about what religion means to her, her problems with dating someone not of the same faith, and explained what I "believe" in as best I could. She still thinks it's a bit weird, but she's more comfortable with it now. So, things are pretty much back to normal, us just dating casually.
jimbuck Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 isn't it possible that she has decided that you and her aren't a match, and she felt that using this as a reason to break it off would be the easiest? isn't it also possible that she tried to accept your beliefs ( or lack thereof) but after seeing you for a while, realized she couldn't? These types of things happen all the time... jimbuck

Author Grinning Maniac Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 Thanks. The thread smells so much better now! *inhales deeply*
dyermaker Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 I do hope everything works out for you.
Zain Mastron Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Hey Grinning Maniac. Hope it's working out for you. Unfortunately, it hasn't for me. My girlfriend and I broke up for good yesterday, because she did need someone that believed in her faith. Basically, I'm in the boat you were in when you first wrote this message. Why am I writing this? Just to warn you basically to not get your hopes up at all, like I did. Just go with what ever you have now and don't focus on the long term future. Just my advice from what happened to me.
