Atheism poll

Wow, I can't imagine marrying a Christian. Not because Christians are so bad or anything, but just because our worldviews would be so incredibly different.

I agree with that somewhat even though I am marrying a Christian... 'Some' Christians do try and ram their beliefs down your throat and some do have a completely different concept of the world to maybe you and me. Chris isn't like that. He is quite open about his beliefs and although he is a Christian, he certainly doesn't have his blinkers on. Different religions interest him and he would never critisise someone for not being 'Christian'

Chris doesn't actually go to church every Sunday either. He tends to go on special occasions etc (Which actually does make it little easier on me... I think if he did go every week, I would almost feel like I had to go, which I wouldn't like one bit...)

My 'Hare Krishna' vote was because 'none of the above' was available. Children must be allowed to make their own spiritual decisions.

But they do not allow polygamy in their religion (are you referring to that small group of whack jobs in TX?)

I think its something else. Why did Romney fail so badly? I feel like if he weren't Mormon he might have gotten the nomination vs McCain.

Yeah, but I think people associate Mormons with polygamy anyway. Plus, their religion seems really cultish to most Christians (although to atheists, it doesn't seem any more cultish than other types of Christianity -- just newer).

I think it also had to do with the perception he was an out-of-touch millionaire who flip-flopped on key conservative issues. Though being a mormon probably didn't help.

Ironically, Romney was the only Republican candidate who had only ever had one wife.

I think my kids will and have made their own decisions on relationships despite what we the parents thought, just like we did to our parents lol

I am not an atheist, I wouldn't date an atheist, and I really hope my son does not grow up to be one.
