Well, there's always the "I think we would be unequally yoked" line.

I think soonee took the thought out of my head. when she wrote:
I would love to find someone biblically knowledgeable who was not a bible thumper. Gee, it's hard being a middle-of-the-road Methodist in the middle of the Fundamentalist Bible Belt! I just can't agree with the whole 'submissive woman' thing (can ya tell?) lol

I live in the city so there is a lot of diversity here but I also have a huge problem with a guy who brings up religion on the first date. Unless it is part of a story and it is just a passing detail of some sort, I just think it is too intimate a topic. My spirituality or relationship with God or however everyone chooses to put it is in my private life somewhere and a first date doesnt get a look at that. I find someone who brings it up to be trying to preach instead of giving me info on themselves or letting me in to who they are.

Have you written him back yet?? I hate that job!!

Ugh.
My ex MIL kept approaching me while my mom was sick and in treatment for ovarian cancer and she was insistent that I only needed to take my Mom to her church so she could be saved and insinuated that I was killing her with the chemo. I told my ex "GET HER AWAY FROM ME" It made me so mad....my parents worked in churches all their lives as church musicians, so I have to figure that if Jesus was handing out free passes they might considered!!
I go to a Presbyterian Church but not regularly. My father is the Music Director there so I have been there forever and I love the pastor there because he links scripture to really accurate real life news events and puts his spin on them - not connecting them really but just making us all think. He has a very modern approach.
Anyhow, yea - talking about your God during first date - NONO.

You can always tell your thumper neighbor that you don't go to church because you are a pagan.

ARGGGGHHH... dealing with such "well meaning" people!! especially in times of crisis and stress must be especially challenging.


Funny thing with CNDG is that she was with an old high school
