1 Mimy Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Belief belief belief! Why does it even matter in this modern world. Not like most of these beliefs are progressive. Most of them keep dragging us to stone age, yet we keep revering those beliefs that has refuse to evolve and imprisons us in the past. I think people should roll with each other because they share one thing in common which is Humanity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scarlet Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yes i have / still would. I had once being involved with a staunch committed atheist which is synonymous to " devil incarnate " in this part of the world, and fortunately twas one of my very best relationship I ever had, in spite of the fact she was "irreligious " and a "stringent non believer" of any supreme being what so ever, she possessed the most beautiful heart I had ever came across with. My point? basically for me it's about the humanness of the said person I'm involved with, and nothing to do with the religion they identify with or do not identify themselves with.. some persons can be "overly religious" per se, and yet still make a relationship so daunting and frustrating to cope with. Be it a sun worshipper, or a pastafarian or not, matters less to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mimy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I really don't mind being with anyone with whatever belief just don't be an extremist or overly into such belief. We're human first before any belief. Those beliefs are just bunch of Perspectives, opinions, ideas human invented to explain life and the mystery that comes with it. So once you understand that human trumped whatever ideology/belief/religion, we're good. There is this girl I was having mad crush on. She attends white garment church (cele abi?). I will follow her occassionally to her church not minding all the stress of climbing the hill barefooted and all the energy consuming service. It makes her happy a lot because she thought I'm a Muslim. It was really torturing o! But sweet torture hahah. The things we do for love sha.

0 Moderators kimi Posted September 5, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2017 If someone asked me this question this time last year, I would have had a completely different answeŕ. These days, I am very open-minded as I allow the Universe a free-hand. I am fine as long as there is a belief in the source of all life -whatever she chooses. On further thought, I asked myself, "what if she stopped believing altogether?" Truth is, I will be fine with that too... and I would expect that she doesn't impose hers on me just as I wouldn't mine on her. We are all on a journey. life and its experiences shape our belief system. Truth is, this post made me do some research into satanism. Lol. It isn't as terrifying as I would have imagined. It is simply a form of Atheism just that they belief in the worship of self. I found it rather interesting. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satanist do not believe in any type of god(s) as they view them to be all man-made etc... they simply believe in absolute freedom and in allowing the self be fully expressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question to u....can 2 peepol work together with 2 totally different views to life? My dear....the term RELATIONSHIP is quite deep, its not a ride u can afford to hitch with just sumone who doesnt have same spiritual inclination as you do. Spirituality is also deep....too deep u cant afford to play middle ground , they say life is spiritual...whether we agree or nay, thats the founded Truth. At sum point in your relationship, you would need to work with synchronized beliefs ...not you believing in sumthing else while she believes sumthing totally different. At that point...u would understand the need for concordance in your beliefs. **my opinion** Good afternoon kimi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Moderators kimi Posted September 5, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hahaha. Aunty Jenny... well said. The question you ought to ask me is "what is your belief system?" When you fully understand it is only when you can really understand why I can live perfectly and happily with someone who as much as believes that there is a source to all life. I have gone way past living in a box or being the proverbial 'sheep' so to speak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religion to me is a form of practice that gives peace and gives humans the ability to think. I don’t believe religion should restrict anyone. Back to the question – I would date someone who is of a different belief system. In my opinion, religion doesn’t define; personality defines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Farida Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yes i can be with a religious person provided they don't try to drag me into their guilt of homosexuality. I hold no apologies for the way i am and constantly religious people of the community are apologetics. I was 'with' this girl, after having a fine ass time she became sober, teared up about how she had just sinned and was mad that i wasn't all cuddly trying to comfort her. I was irked. My point: If she was like me that drama would not have surfaced. We'd have prolly blasphemed instead and cooled it off with a bottle of wine. well, I''m working on having more homophilic relationships as it makes communication and relationship formation easier and thus; long lasting.

0 Txunamy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The only Religion I can tolerate apart from christianity is Buddhism. Reason being that I love their spiritual teachings.. And Islam(not the fanatics) As long as you can go to church with me without squirming in your seat during the church service, as long as you are a good person and pure hearted, then we good. I Honestly don't even like Sunday Sunday church people. They always prove to me time and time again, that church going doesn't make anyone good or kind or changes anything about their nature. I'd rather be with someone who can never think of any evil, than be with an evil person who goes to church every Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
