I just recently got rejected by this Christian girl. She said she couldn't date someone who did not follow God. What do you guys think? Kinda sounded like a lame excuse. (Hope this question is not against form guidelines)

BobG said:It's no more lame than any other reason - such as a man only wanting to date women less than 200 pounds, a 40-year-old woman that that rejects anyone over 30 as being too old for her, a woman that only wants to date men, a woman that only wants to date women, a non-smoking woman that won't date a smoker, and, lamest of all, a woman that only wants to date people that aren't me.
People usually like to date people that have similar interests to them.
I, for one, probably wouldn't date a woman that rides a motorcycle, or a woman that doesn't like hiking in the mountains, or a woman that doesn't know how to use slide rules (admittedly, that last tends to seriously limit my dating life).
It's always better to find out sooner than later, I hope she didn't hurt you.Julio R said:I guess. I'm not that upset because I respect other people's beliefs and choices, but it seems like a one-sided respect in this case.

Office_Shredder said:Religion isn't a big part of your life, so it's not surprising you don't care what other people do with their religious life. Religion is probably a big part of her life, so it shouldn't be surprising that she does care what her significant other believes. I don't think there is any disrespect being given based on the facts in the OP.

Mentallic said:Would that be HER religion's god or just any god in general?
I'm an avid fan of Zeus and Hercules, does that count?

zoobyshoe said:You might be right: religious differences would be an excellent cover for the fact she had no interest in you. If she were interested, I'm thinking she'd have agreed to a date provided, say, you went to church with her or at least agreed to read some Bible or some pamphlets. In that way, she could rationalize her interest in you to her co-religionists, by claiming she was actually trying to convert you.
BobG said:Or, if she was interested in you, instead of just claiming to try to convert you, she could have actually tried to convert you.
Evo's right. You were probably lucky.

Don't like Heirakles (not much) too- Daedalus, Ullysses and Chiron are better IMO. But Heirakles is way better than Zeus.
So? I like stories. And I never said they or any other gods existed...leroyjenkens said:Seriously guys, we found evidence a long time ago that those gods don't exist.

Mentallic said:I don't think you understood what Leeroy is saying. He's mocking current religious groups.
Julio R said:She told me to "hit her up" if I change my mind about God. Should I take the opportunity, or is it a d-bag move?
It is legitimately part of some christian denominations' doctrines to not date a non-christian, something about Satan's bad influences. I think she does like you as a person but, she believes God does not want her to date you.she told me to ht her up if changed my mind...
cragar said:ask her if god can build a rock heavier than he can lift.
Or ask her if god can divide himself into 2 and battle himself.
Vite said:I've seen several girls like this end long term relationships with guys over differences in religion. Seems nonsensical, but there are girls who legitimately use religion as a relationship qualifier. The ones I know also constantly post religious articles/scripture on social media, to the point where it is annoying, and act 'goody two-shoes' all the time.
My advice, RUN!

People may get rejected for being an atheist because of deeply ingrained religious beliefs and societal norms that view atheism as a threat to traditional values. Additionally, some individuals may see atheism as a rejection of their own beliefs and may feel personally attacked or offended by it.
In most countries, it is illegal to discriminate against someone based on their religious beliefs, including atheism. However, in some places, there may be loopholes or exceptions that allow for discrimination based on religious beliefs.
The frequency of atheists being rejected varies depending on the cultural and societal norms of a particular region. In some places, atheism may be more accepted and tolerated, while in others it may be heavily stigmatized and result in frequent rejection.
If you are rejected for being an atheist, you can seek support from like-minded communities and organizations. You can also educate others about atheism and work towards promoting acceptance and understanding of different beliefs.
Reducing the rejection of atheists requires promoting education and open-mindedness about different beliefs. It also involves challenging and dismantling societal norms and prejudices that contribute to the discrimination of atheists. Additionally, promoting empathy and understanding towards those with different beliefs can help reduce rejection and promote acceptance.
