Can she help me with my Psychology degree? I'll tell her you're like, really cool and stuff, and well respected on an internet forum. You'll be a hero.
Religion, what's the point?
- Thread starter TheRedFlag
- Start date
Shut up childen, adults are talking.
*It's actually not as amazing as you'd hope, and some of it is quite dated, but, you know, it's still better than listening to virtually anyone you'll listen to this week.

Nice, will give it a watch. Used to love Carl Sagan when I was younger, but never heard him talk, only read his books.
He's got a strange voice, but he is quality.
Started watching Cosmos recently, it's very outdated with in the graphics department (being that it was made in the 70's), but the content is very good.
Also been watching a lot of Richard Dawkins video's on YouTube.

One of my friend's mom posted this on facebook with the comment, "interesting".
Take this atheists!
Also, we're doomed. Again.

God is screaming at the world I am coming soon, for the last 500 years? Is god a porn star or sumat?
Maybe he's got the gush.
And now the religion issue has come between the new girl and I. Apparently it means far more to her than she was letting on. However, I am very open-minded and willing to concede for my partner to be happy (except against right-wing US politics and fortunately she's on the same side as me there). We're having a long talk over dinner tonight.
Any non-believers dating a believer or vice versa? How do you co-exist?

A 'long talk' about religious beliefs/you're lack of religious beliefs, will only end in tears mate.
I don't really see how religion would come into play if you really like someone anyway. Unless she's a complete and utter nutter when it comes to religion and likes to lecture you 24/7 about it. It's irrelevant to me and I'm as non-religious as they come.
I went out with a proper Christian once, just once.
I don't think she liked me

Oh I've dated plenty, boned a few as well, as it's basically the majority of the population in the US, especially in the southern states.
My daughter is dating an agnostic. She is ok with that..but then while she is a Christian, she is not crazy about organised religion...suppose that makes it easier. Is she a regular church goer? you could go with and read a book I suppose.
I couldn't be with someone who was religious.
It's not so much whether you're open-minded as whether she is.
My ex converted on me while in the relationship. It didn't last after that.
A bit like those who won't date someone of a different religion.
Possibly but it isn't out of bigotry just practically I know it would annoy me consistently which would put pressure on the relationship. And I wouldn't have kids any where near any religion.
How heavy is she into the religion? Does she pray? You can PM me. Had prior experience
yeah the same reasons as some have for not marrying someone from a different religion.
To what and what did the conversion entail?
I can't see religion being a bigger problem in relationships than you make it yourself. Obviously if it means that she doesn't want to have sex before marriage then that's problem for most people, but not all christians follow the 10 commandments strictly.
The only way I can see it being a problem is if she insists I attend church with her or something like that.
She seems fine so far as she's cleary into me but I told her I would attend a mass with her to see the experience, she was happy about that. I can do all that mass stuff but I'll still believe what I believe just won't bring it up much. We both dislike evangelical christianity and don't believe in revelations and stuff. She's also a huge supporter of gay rights, hates republicans, and other stuff so it seems like this shouldn't be a huge issue.
Kids and religion - cross that line if/when it comes to pass. I certainly won't have any sons serving as alter boys!

you are going to be fine Marcello. she sounds very level headed.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Hardcore Christian. After that, we couldn't listen to music apart from gospel, she started slipping subliminal messages to me to go to church, and she stopped having sex.
suppose the gospel music was the straw...
Well this bird has a healthy sexual appetite and doesn't force gospel music on me. Problems would certainly arise if the opposite comes forth. I can understand why the other poster had issues/called it off.
I am sick of Dawkins, Harris, Dennet and religion vs science debates in general. Esp. Harris. Can he please stop harping on about how science defines morality please? He's the Dinesh D'Souza of the science camp and I can't fecking stand Dinesh D'Souza. 42 is the answer and now lets just fecking move on because there's nothing better.
Then stop watching them. Jeez.
Wha? Harris is very soft-spoken, D'Souza gets into a shouting frenzy damn near every time. Harris is fair and balanced, D'Souza'll beat the opponent with any twig or branch he can get his hands on. I don't see how you can compare the two.
D'Souza is an absolute fecking bell.
That too... He also has the most annoying voice of any professional debater/lecturer I've heard... I'm sure Pinker would be up there if he were all shouty.
Pinker's not an idiot though. D'souza is both a bell & and an idiot.
He's Belly Idiot.
He's Belly Idiot.
Plus he has an annoying ratface.
Of course. This is all just on the point of voice.
I'm going to go punch a pillow for a bit now, I've thought about D'Souza for more than 30 secs today.
edit: YES! The rat-face! omgsotrue!

You Noggies and your atheism.
I'm a noggie atheist who can't stand Harris and Dawkins, I win.
Dawkins is a very good read, but I prefer Sam Harris and especially Christopher Hitchens. He was always awesome!
