Importance of finding an atheist signifigant other?
Well... being an atheist, I would like to have a girlfriend that is atheist as well. I think we would be able to see more eye to eye that way, instead of argueing. My beliefs (or lack of) are very important to me, and I would want to find someone that will accept that. Has anyone here had a signifigant other who was a theist? How did that turn out?
JESUS SAVES!!! .... and takes only half damage!

I hear you. I really had no idea what a stigma it was until I came onto this site last year. I mean, you hear about it here and there but I just didn't realize how truly we are looked down upon. I feel for all you guys living out in the bible belt and what not. More power to you!

Off-topic, but quick.
Man: "I love you, but I am not in love with you"
woman: "That's ok, because I want you...I just don't want you in me.
Back to our regularly-sceduled topic...
I'll fight for a person's right to speak so long as that person will, in return, fight to allow me to challenge their opinions and ridicule them as the content of their ideas merit.
lol
I have never said "I love you, but I'm not in love with you." But then, I've also rarely said, "I love you." I hate lying about a thing like that.
You know what a girl said to me once? "I love you, but my boyfriend is just soooooo good looking."
My response was not as polite as you might think.
Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

Rofl. Now I need to figure out a way to squeeze in a reference to Jesus into this. Pissing off christians can be fun.
That's a good thing. Most women tend to take that phrase seriously.
Huh????????

Yeah. The "boyfriend" part of that was a bit of a surprise to me.
I honestly don't want to think much about the rest of it.

Hamby, I love you, but Rambo-kitty just takes my breath away.
How's that?

I had a similar experience on Yahoo personals. When I started it I had listed myself as "spiritual but not religious" and consistenly got 5 to 10 responses per day. I changed it to Atheist and NOTHING....two, three weeks....NOTHING. I started checking "who is viewing your profile" and a lot of them seemed compatible but they all had some kind of religious affiliation. I cancelled the subscription and figured I was better off alone than lying. Besides, most of the theists I have seen on those personal ads REALLY do not take care of themselves and appear to be interested in only finding wife #2. I was not a very good wife the first time (not real domestic - the art of cooking eludes me) so I am not really ready to take another stab at it. If there is a better site to check I would be happy to look but I doubt that I am going to find many in my area.
I broke down and tried a few of those sites myself and never got any response except from an obvious spam account. I havent cancelled mine yet, but I probably will soon. Not to sound arrogant, but a lot of my 'metrics' would normally have the ladies lined up pretty deep, but you get to that "atheist, does not want children" part, and the line disappears faster than you can say "ostracized." Fucking midwestern ignorance.
"The powerful have always created false images of the weak."
That pretty much sums it up!! LOL
Seems there is an overabundance of flannel wearing, tobacco chewing/spitting, overweight (really i am not that picky or shallow, but man, do these guys need a salad once in a while), Wal-Mart shopping singles here. And those are the women...lol
Well, y'all least she didn't take no notice of mah meth lab er mah ma and pa bein' brother & sis.
It's funny you say that, on one of those sites my profile read, "if you regularly shop at Wal-Mart, I am not your guy."
I'm in Chicago, so it's not like some rural area where you may not have a choice.

Yeah, I'm in my early 30s, atheist, and totally against reproducing. I checked some site or another a few years ago and there were something like 18 matches... in the whole country.
I've kind of reconciled myself to the sad reality that I won't find someone for another ten years or so until all the women are past reproducing age, and have already started kicking the kids out of the house, and are ready to divorce their husband, who they never really wanted to have kids with, but they believed abortion was wrong, so they had the kids and stayed married, saying they were "sticking it out for the kids" and now they're bitter and angry about wasting so much of their life with that deadbeat who was just so damn good looking back when he played sports in college but stopped taking care of himself about the same time she realized that he wouldn't divorce her if she stopped giving him head, so she stopped because she never liked it but thought it was the only way to impress the hot sports star because he could have any girl he wanted...
hmm...
am I ranting?
Maybe mail order brides from the far east...
At least most would be atheist...

Hamby, it won't do you any good to wait for those women to kick their kids out of the house.
Many of those women are becoming grandmothers and they're helping raise grandchildren.
As for matching on dating sites: Try being female, Atheist, doesn't want kids and blocking anyone who checks "sports nut".

Hockey rules!

Ice hockey is the one sport I enjoy, but only if it's in person. Ah for the good old days when the benches emptied, the penalty boxes were filled and only three men ended up on the ice!
I remember the good old days when the Plager Brothers could defend the net for the last two minutes of the game after our goalie had been pulled.
I have questioned the heritage of many a line judge in my time.
I will note, however, that I don't think I've known anyone whose primary "sports love" is ice hockey who becomes a zombie in front of the TV every weekend all year long. Only during the Stanley Cup does that happen which is understandable.

Try Japan. That is where I finally shucked off the last tatters of my God belief. Almost all of the people in Japan are non-theistic and many think Westerners are exotic.
Be unassimilated.
Satan is pro-life!
Every theist girlfriend I have had (4)... ended up becoming an atheist after a month of dating me.

Yes, well, hmmm....
Some people do say they feel the presence of Jesus/the Holy Spirit within them...
You were right, it was best left alone.
