again bee...that is everywhere and in everything. I won't assume or lump people into something because of a bad experience. I have a wiccan friend that has cheated on her husband with 3 different guys (that I know of) and pushes her views on me. I have no problem learning about others and others beliefs but I had to tell her to back off. so it is everywhere

im perfectly open to date religious people but i dont like religion being slammed down my throat either! but it seems like so many people cant think for them selves that this book tells them how to think and feel its wrong! okay thats your opinion and i respect that. i'm not even religious at all but to say that people who are religious can't think for themselves and that this book tells them how to think and feel is completely skewing their beliefs. you dont like religion shoved down your throat but are you shoving your lack of religion down other's throats? does this not make you just as bad as those you hate? i'm just sayin. |

I have found that the people that clam to be the most "God fearing" are usually the first to stab you in the back. They only go to church to comvence others that they are really good people.
I do not beleive in god and haven't sense I was about 15. I have never stolen anything from anyone or cheated on any girlfriend once we both agreed to be exclusive. I am one of the most moral people I know. |

Religion made my cousin a better spouse to her husband.
She had near perfect grades through school, joined the Air Force and had her eyes on a potential NASA career. She gave it all up to be a mormon wife. Seven years later had a mental breakdown. Religion did wonders in this case (said sarcastically) |

I'd have to say, from my expereince, it's the opposite. I was a Pentecostal with my ex-husband for years. The teachings of the church and the Bible are pretty obvious -- the man is the head of the house. It gave my ex pretty much total power. He treated me like a child, and made ALL decisions. So, no... I think it may very well be just the opposite. don't think it makes someone better or worse. take on of your examples...they can pray for forgiveness for cheating...but that doesn't help them with the person they cheated on. and it's not about praying and continuously doing it either. they are all kinds of ideologies that cheat....get pregnant or get others pregnant, etc. it doesn't make someone better than another IMO it just seems that either the man gets total control and the woman stay silent to look like a good union or i think maybe that there are good men left in the world that happen to have religion in their life that are loving? there are and if someone's beliefs aren't yours...you might want to rethink a relationship with them if the 2 can't work it out. there are good and bad EVERYWHERE. it's not exclusive to just one belief. all of that is everywhere. Agreed. Our beliefs were the same at first. But we grew apart. Happens when you marry at 18. Religion made my cousin a better spouse to her husband.
She had near perfect grades through school, joined the Air Force and had her eyes on a potential NASA career. She gave it all up to be a mormon wife. Seven years later had a mental breakdown. Religion did wonders in this case (said sarcastically) In MANY religions, women are no good except to be a wife and a mother. Period. Mine ended in a nervous breakdown, too. Because I could never be good enough for my ex, for the church, and, in the end, for myself. Because no matter how much I love my kids, I'm a career woman. I just am. Some of us just... are. Doesn't make us bad, just makes us... us.

My parents will be married 36 yrs in August. Mom is an atheist. Dad was a non-practicing Catholic, now agnostic.
My good, church-going Catholic uncle has been divorced twice and married 3 times. He just pays the Church off. I unintentionally dated a "good" Baptist fellow, and found out he was still married. I was pissed... Some friends of the family have been married over 50 yrs, and they're Baptists, or some such. Another set of family friends have lived together for over 25 years, never gotten married, and he's non-practicing Jew and she's agnostic, I think. I do believe it's the individual who decides whether it works or not, and religion can be good, or can be bad, or not have anything to do with it. |
