      Me when asked whether I’d date a religious person.

      To me, at least with Judeo-Christian religions that believe in hell as the destination for people who do not believe in their god, I find it so baffling that people can have mixed or non religious serious relationships, with the idea “well we just don’t try to convert eachother”.

      How the hell do you square.

      I love my spouse.

      I love my God.

      One day my god is going to send my spouse to be tortured for all of eternity. I will then spend the rest of my life happily hanging out with my god.

      It only makes sense if you either don’t really believe what you believe, or you are very certain your partner is going to change their view. From the atheist side it doesn’t really matter.

        They probably don’t subscribe to the entire package. Very few people do. They always cherry pick what is convenient.

          I wish you were more correct than you intend, but you are grossly off the mark of reality.

          Most people that hold onto religion into adulthood do so because it makes them feel special above their fellow humans. It doesn’t matter if all of it is correct so much as the things that make “believers” special are unique.

          TL;DR: Most religious people want to be special, not moral or correct. Which makes them evil piles of shit.

              rofl I’d have to be religious to project this, you numpty.

              I grew up in a church. I’ve heard many people express their beliefs. You know nothing of what you accuse.
