I feel the hunch there are a significative number of people who might say "I´m a believer" that could prove they´re not believers so, to some extent, I might have found I´ve been dating with unbelievers I thought they believed the same GOD I try to please... I´m just telling this by experience: There was I time I said "I was a believer" and it took me years to realize I LIED and I was too far from the faith (or beliefs) I know know (perticularly when I know some "Christians" believe in reincarnation, past life, yoga or Budism, etc).

Apologetics is the answer for people like that. If a rational and logical and scientific approach to Christianity, won't convince them, I don't know if anything will. It helped me.

I was never an atheist, but I was always into science, and I can't just ignore evidence by brushing it off. Well luckily you don't have to brush it off. It makes perfect sense within the context of Christianity. Just listen to John Lennox among others.

Its sad because I like geeks/nerds, and most of them are atheist or agnostic. I dream of meeting a geeky girl who is also a Christian, but its not easy. Its important that you have a lot in common with your spouse or else the relationship won't work in the long run.

Most of my friends are atheist or agnostic too. Even my family is. I am surrounded by unbelievers. It doesn't affect my faith at all. I just know they are wrong, and if I was more brave, I would explain why to them. I have plenty of reasons.

Would you still date that person in the hopes of maybe changing his/her mind on God one day, or would you just respect his/her views and deal with it?

Common question, but still interesting.


I wouldn't mind dating an atheist as long as she can cook.


Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.


lead by example
Actions speak louder than words
treat others as you would treat yourself


The best way to bring others over to your side/covert your girlfriend is to just live the (godly) life.


May not seem like you're doing much, but seeds of faith will certainly be planted and grown down the road, Just make sure you don't trample those seeds by telling your atheist girlfriends that they're going to Hell, otherwise *slap*

Your forum avatar showcases guns, giving you the impression of being a tough nut. Don't go around telling us you're not brave!!!!

Haha. I never even noticed guns in that picture. I think the idea of the picture was to remove the gun part. Its like from Call of Duty or something. If they released a game in the call of duty series about defending Christianity. Without guns. I only got it because it says "Defend Your Faith: Apologetics". But being a tough Christian means being humble and meek.

It's really not a problem for me. I wouldn't do anything I wouldn't do either way. I wonder how it is for the ladies though, they have more to consider. They expect their men to be spiritually stronger. If the lady is a Christian and the man is an atheist, she's automatically spiritually stronger than him 100 times over.

missionary dating leads to painful divorce - not on their life

I spent 13 years with antagonisms... There I got 3 children I left behind...

I wouldn´t like to spend one more hour that way. :(

Perhaps I´m not saved (yet), but, according to my insight, I rather like a "safe" person. And that is easyly found.

It's from call of duty: black ops. One of the better ones in recent times. Let's hope advanced warfare is decent.
