That's interesting. Again, you're perception is that the lifestyle is completely unacceptable. I find this incredibly disconcerting on many levels, mainly because of so-called Christian believers attitudes and the fact they have put their hand in creating this stigma that you and many others share. To be honest, I shared the same thought.
As you probably have figured out, I personally do not share the same feeling on non-Christians as many other Christians do. Once again, its pretty evident by my participation in this site. My issue is that believers tend to become way out of touch with reality, and have made a very POSITIVE thing, like having a realtionship with God, incredibly negative in the eyes of non-believers. It stands to reason by Christians that SpexyAshleigh DOES NOT have a relationship with God and DOES NOT desire to have one.
This may not be true.
The fact is, you just may have a relationship with God. Who am I to dictate what that is. You enjoy your lifestyle, it's what you chosen and how you've chosen to live, but does that disqualify you as a Christian??? Did it disqualify the thief on the cross next to Jesus??? The answer is absolutely not, but a lot of believers don't feel that way. My lifestyle in a lot of ways is not much different than yours. I was tought to lead people into building a realtionship with God, not to shoot arrows at their life. Its for this reason (and others) that I do not go to churches. After you do get a relationship going, your walk with that is just that... YOUR WALK.
Without going too much further, Spexy, you're thoughts and ideas about this whole thing are very typical and incredibly warranted, but why does this have to mean a guy like me MUST miss out out on a great girl like you? This is kinda what I struggle with when I tell people that I do have a relationship with God. My hope is that you do as well, regardless of lifestyle, brands, badges, and labels.
can you clarify if the original question was "would you ever date a person of faith?" or "would you ever date me"
Because I'm getting mixed signals here...
and my views on religion are PERFECTLY acceptable, and you know why? Because they're MINE. I can believe what I want, and I think I have the right to considering I was raised in a very religious home, attended church for nearly a decade, have studied the bible and understand its teachings and spent a semester at bible college. Yes I know Christian based faiths and no I don't want it in my life, either personally, or with a spouse. Who are you to say that my views on this question are "unnacceptable"? You are the reason why I dislike the mannerisms of people of faith- your "holier than thou" attitude is really starting to get on my nerves. I live my life for ME and you can agree or disagree with it, but you don't have the right to tell me that my beliefs and experiences with religion are "unacceptable".
Sorry but I've answered all of your questions with a smile on my face for the last couple of weeks but I'm finding you to be more and more insulting, and condescending with each post....at least to me. Other guys, please chime in and tell me if I'm overreacting here lol.
