Hmm, now that that's been said, I'm wondering why we have a "maybe" option here....

Because, if you would ever, under any given ordinary circumstances, date someone of different religious beliefs than yourself, you have to vote yes. If you never would (which is thus the only other option), you would have to say no

(except for Jepman)

I'm not sure if I want to. Not because she is of a different faith, but I'd rather spend my senior year girl free, you know? You don't have to go out all the time and spend tons of monies.

That's because the bible says not to be yoked with unbelievers. Realistically, it can cause arguments or stress and confuse your kiddos, apart from leading someone astray or something.

Ehh? The first one can be taken care of by assuming that logic as we know it exists.

Second, That's a really stupid blakent statement ot say, though it would deserve another thread to discuss at all properly.


And as for your third point, I'm sorry for being rational. :rolleyes:

Believing something that can't be verified because your parents did isn't rational. In fact, it's rather irrational.

Dude, get real.

Are you telling me you can prove that your god exists using logic?

Are you telling me you can prove your faith is right (and the 'rest' is wrong) by using logic and being rational?

I rest my case.

C'mon Avovis, you know you want to do it. Then you can come and post about it. Especially if there's some backstory about how her grandmother is trying to set you up with her. Hey wait this sounds familiar...

I answered with a maybe, but to qualify that answer let me say that I don't feel like a should, and I can say from personal experience that it'd probably not go anywhere. Even so, I might even if I shouldn't.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You know, this will go on and on until either of you gets banned, dies, or the thread gets locked.

If I were interested in a woman of different religious beliefs, and I had the courage to ask her out, I would.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Most likely, it is impossible to do that with only logic. However, it is stupid to believe that there can be more than one single truth -- e.g. if a particular "strain" of Islam is correct, then Christianity cannot be also correct, else we have an inconsistency.

Same as above -- if one is right, the others cannot be. If you argue against that then you're retarded, or something....

I don't believe it to be possible to prove any religion to be correct, but I do believe that one path (be it an existing religion or certain beliefs from multiple theologies) and only one path can be absolutely true.

While "strain" is commonly affiliated with viruses and other microorganisms, it is not exclusive.

Strain - Dictionary.com
1. the body of descendants of a common ancestor, as a family or stock.
2. any of the different lines of ancestry united in a family or an individual.
.
.
.

A "strain" of Islam being a descending group (such as the Shi'ite's) from the main or whole.
Similarly, a "strain" of Christianity, such as the Lutheran church, descending from the the main line of Christianity (which was the Roman Catholic church)

This all just in case you were serious :P ;)



As for hijacking the thread, -- there's just a few of us on a side topic for a bit... really, it's not really a hijack yet at this point, especially since the side topic parallels the main one.

Many Witnesses marry people who are not Witnesses. For example, my parents. My mom wasn't always a Witness, infact, she was a devoted Catholic, until she met the truth(Years after she was married to my father). I've dated girls with many different beliefs than my own, and these beliefs never seemed to interfere in our relationship.

"That's because the bible says not to be yoked with unbelievers. Realistically, it can cause arguments or stress and confuse your kiddos, apart from leading someone astray or something."

Just because you are married to some one who is an unbeliever, does not mean you yourself will become one.

Love is love, and when love does not conflict with the set of rules set by God, it is encouraged.
Nothing to see here, move along.

I was half-serious. But to half-defend my half-serious statement, I shall say that strain DOES have a connotation. That connotation being: noodles. ;)

Except that in that case the bible says otherwise.

....then again, maybe they edited that out of your bible too.

Its no edited out, its just not enforced, only suggested. The society suggests sisters and brothers to not marry people outside of the truth, yet it is not enforced or stopped.

Ya... I never ask people out anymore.

Storytime though,

Girl, who is Christian, and I started going to a park near our work to stargaze. After the third or fourth time of going after work to look at the stars she leaned over and kissed me. I was a bit surprised because I thought that she wasn't into me because of... things and me being an atheist.

Then we made out like fiends. The end.

I see what you're saying, but that's not my point.

All I'm saying you cannot prove that any single one of them is right, and so, it is absurd to assume one of them is going to be right, if there is no evidence or anything to support that assumption. For all you know, none of them are.

Ah but you can disprove them? If you read the bible and analyze it from beggining to end, you will know who is closer to being right to being wrong. Its all a matter of serious study.
