without looking at the religious point of view

I would say depends on how long you know each other. I would not use marriage just to show that you are together. You might consider just living together for a while/years and if the mood strikes you and both really WANT to get married then do so. It should be your choice, not the choice of people around you. Good luck!

Well said, and thank you. You might have a point. I'd like to think that one doesn't have to have no faith, to have manners, intellect, and a sense of humor. But If you've ever noticed someone who is deeply religious, they are always trying to convert you, or convince you otherwise. Whereas I've never tried to push my belief on anyone. In fact, If it wasn't for people, mostly coworkers, trying to ask for donations, or just asking me questions about my faith, they would never know that I'm not a religious person. But based on that one principal, now they keep there distance...Goddamn hypocrites!!

You are wrong about Christianity, and this is not a question.

I'm with you..no religion..it's a crutch so that people think they can no the reasons for things.

Cool, I can learn another perspective on life and spirituality.  I think it is always a good thing to be open to at least listening to others ideas and ways of life.  It doesn't mean I have to change or believe their ways and beliefs are right or wrong, maybe just different than mine. And whether I agree with their beliefs or not is no excuse for me to be a rude neighbor.

The opposite of what God wants.

I think it would be darn near impossible to "Completely" study any religion.  There is so much to each religion.  I can't say that I have studied a religion completely at all.

Absolutely not. That's ridiculous. I think there's a LOT they don't understand. I'm the only Christian one in my family, if I was intellectually lazy I wouldn't believe in God at all, just like them.

Why, Theology WITHOUT Sociology is like a peanut butter sandwich without the peanut butter! How can one understand religious ideologies, choices, and freedoms without understanding the separate cultures from which they spring?\nMost certainly the latter must be woven into any Theological study, in my opinion.

I grew up Catholic but I chose to not have any religion at some point.  Honestly it bored the heck out of me.  Now I do find the study of relgions fascinating, just not the belief in one.

I think that maybe for a while you need to stop focusing on religion and just focus on God. Take some time and read the bible(King James Version)

It doesn't sound like any religion in particular, but it does sound like a utilitarian utopia. Perhaps that helps.

Hey just read it and shut up okay....lot's of us don't believe in your God or your Savior and we don't care about what you think is right or wrong and nobody asked you for your opinion.

Good point.\n\nAs a Christian, I do not have to observe such times and practices, since I live under the protection of the Christian God.\n\nCordially,\nJohn

What gives you the right to make such a broad generalization of people that don't go to church?  I think maybe you should brush up on what your religion tells you about judging people, before you ask questions like this.

God is out there...we don't need to see him...

You are just going to have to ask, as this is a very personal thing most people do not talk about their religious beliefs
