I am beyond Athiest. I am an Anitithiest (I think the world would be better without religon, and so I oppose it) this is NOT the point of the thread, that arguement is rehashed many times every day in the Spirituality Forum. The thing is, I just got back from a club. I met a girl. She was cute, and smart, and fine, and she liked Canada. (8.5/10!), however at the end of the night I asked for her number so we could go for a drink etc etc.. she said "Are you a Christian?" I replied honestly and we got into an interesting discussion. The thing is this, I've got her number and email address, and I would like to meet up with her. (In fact I just mailed her before coming on here.) Is it worth the effort, can relationships overcome religous differences? Especially where there is the one sided denial of sex? This sounds a bit serious for the general forum, but I'm after a vox-pop, not a philosophy.

If it gets really serious,you'll both have to pour some(or a lot of) water in your wine though.

They both ended up being atheists.
I know lots of people who have very different religious backgrounds.
It shouldn't make too much of a difference.
Meat eaters and vegetarians get along as well don't they? And let's be honest, if you don't try, you'll never know!!!
Go for it dude!
leaving aside the religious differences - assuming that sex is an important part of a relationship, and again assuming that her christianity will lead to a denial of aforementioned sex, you have to ask yourself whether any relationship you have with her will be fulfilling. of course you can argue that sex is not important until you're married - in that case, fine. but that's not what i personally believe.
then again don't listen to me, i can't get my own relationships in order, so i'm hardly qualified to give advice to others...
from a christain point of view, i wouldn't really want to date an atheist as -well- dating someone is sort of finding out if you want to liv the rest of your life with them, and i would only really want to live my life with a christain due to fellowship, how you'd bring up your kids etc...so, yeah...
I was with a christian girl for about a year. She didn't advertise this fact upfront, and it was only about a month into our relationshuip she told me (including the no sex before marriage bombshell).
We were getting on so well that I said 'yes I can deal with that', but it was doomed as I am completely against the concept of marriage (I think it's pointless these days but that's another discussion), so the relationship could have no future.
We were stuck between a rock and a hard place, neither of us prepared to budge our stance and that gradually affected the rest of our relationship.
My advice - suck it and see, cos you never know and you will always wonder. But don't be surprised if it doesn't work out.
