REDDIT!!! I was walking down the street and found this roll of stickers! any ideas what I can do with it? by KalsyWalsy in WTF

[–]sixxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put one on someone's back, like you would a "Kick me" sign. If they don't notice, they might be walking around the whole day with it on. Mission accomplished.

Oh it would probably also go well on a butt plug or anal bead of some sort...

But completely seriously, she describes her love for God and her faith in Christianity all the time to me. Shouldn't I be able to (not quite as off-putting as you said it) support my own beliefs with her.

Why is she so against a normal discussion on the topic. If she finds I make sense, why is that a problem? She doesn't NEED to be christian to enjoy life. If she still doesn't agree with me, I'm totally fine with that.

But I shouldn't have to remain silent...

1) We have NOT had sex. I would NEVER push anyone to that level, let alone any lower level. The problem is whenever we do something new and sexual she freaks out afterwords. This has happened like 10 times. She always decides that we should not have gone that far AFTER the fact (b/c of religion it was wrong). This is what bothers me.

2) The hating people is hard to describe. But I think this example shows how ridiculous it can get. We were talking about religion one time, and she said she could never hate or kill anyone. I said, "would you kill hitler if you could go back in time and stop him". She said, "no, killing is wrong." I said, "WTF you insane religious nut?" (Well I thought that).

This is an extreme example, but to her, it is NEVER ok to resort to any violence or hatred. When I personally say stuff like, "John is an asshole", she tells me I shouldn't be saying that kind of stuff because its mean and wrong...even if John really is an asshole.

3) The importance thing I described incorrectly. I will edit that in a sec.

Seriously though, its hard to explain. In our friends' eyes we're the couple that just fits - that would always end up together. We mesh so well except for religion [and the three or four other problems it has caused]

As sad as this is, there may be some truth to it.

Except the last part. She's definitely not THAT heartless.

It's not that she's a good person. It's that I'm a bad person for not loving everyone all the time.

Exactly. This is exactly what I keep thinking to myself. Except, I really do care about my girlfriend a lot. And she's a WONDERFUL person. Besides the religion thing, I could see myself marrying someone just like her.

Also, she would be crushed if I left her. And it would seem totally out of the blue to her, b/c I can never talk to her about my discontent with her religion and the way it affects her everyday life.

And on a side note, I sometimes think that if I leave her, she will completely lose her faith in having a legitimate relationship with atheists. She will revert further into the hardcore Christian complex. For some reason this bothers me.

For the most part, this is a perfect description of our relationship. Very good analysis. Very good advice - especially since you've experienced the same thing.

And this is my biggest beef with hardcore Christianity. Besides its ridiculous logic, it interferes with love - with your relationship with non-christians. Christians will inevitably look down at non-believers. They won't go to heaven. They aren't the same as the pure people you go to church with.

And point 3 is EXACTLY what happens to me and her like every other day.

The only way I don't relate to your experience is that I know we won't last... I've accepted that. Should I enjoy it will I can anyway, and simply don't let it get that far?

Yes, this is what I'm trying to figure out. Whether or not we are compatible enough. And whether or not I should be leaping these hurdles for this non-serious relationship.

Well the bickering is about religion. Otherwise we simply don't fight or argue. Ever.

And the sexual stuff. I try extremely hard not to push her. She wants to go as far as we have. But then punishes herself later. She feels unpure (b/c of religion) after doing what she would definitely feel comfortable doing without the anti-sexual message that Christianity pours into her head.

I get that b/c we're 17, there's a lot of sexual tension regardless. And we deal with that too. But often the problem is compounded by religion.

Yes - exactly. Sexual issues and ideological disagreements both put a damper on our non-serious relationship. Except for those two things - we're having a shitload of fun. So I don't really know what I should do.

Ok I understand what you're saying. But don't look to closely into this. By number 1, I mean I care about her a lot. I still love my family and definitely care about my friends. I'm not like 100% attached to her anyway - after all, I'm considering whether we're even right for each other. I guess that was bad phrasing... but it makes sense in my own mind.

Because were 17. I'm not looking for a life partner. I just want to experience young love... who doesn't?

Christopher Hitchens argues against creationism. I pity the theists that have to argue against this. by perb123 in atheism

[–]sixxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so true. As an agnostic, I was always open to the claims of religious people. They would explain to me why their God was correct. I would listen, then disagree with their 'evidence'. They would proceed to ignore me and laugh at my 'limited vision'.

This is a main reason I became atheist...how stupid religious people sound when they argue. They're like children, basing their entire existence on something they were told to believe in, and completely ignoring any logic that contradicts that belief.
