She's pretty though, kind of into the tattoo?s and body moods... but the coolest geek girl I?ve ever met,

obligatory photo:

but i'm not really interested in a girlfriend so much as someone to court so that i can marry her, she wants that sort of thing as well, but i don't know that i could marry an agnostic... I?m sure to get flamed for it, but what do you guys think?
 
IMO, this question can only be answered by you. We can give you our opinions and such, but in the end, it's something for you and her to work out.



🙂
 
going by the fact that you can't answer this question yourself i'm gona assume that as long as your holding onto your christianity this relationship isn't going to work. just decide now which is more important.

Look at it as a chance to stop believing in magic and faeries and crap.

What if she looks at it the same way?

She's agnostic.. mostly against the way organized religion doesn?t leave you free to come to your own conclusions...
i think she'd be easily converted to Methodist, because they don?t' much disagree with her.

? I also know it?s a bad to try to change someone?

nah man, my parents have come off of hard-core drug addiction through faith in Christ, not likely that i'm going to start believing that this actual medical was 'faeries and crap' sorry bro.
 
Think of it this way...

How are you going to feel when you're ready to go to church and she is on the couch watch TBS' 24-hour Star Trek marathon? Could be trouble...

if the OP even thinks for a second that there's a chance in hell of this happening he's delusional.
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN
so if thats your plan try again.

In my experience, Agnostics don't seem to want to convince anyone of anything.

You wouldn't be trying to change her really. You don't even actively have to try and convert someone. You can do it through example. Less effective, but more polite. 😉

Great point? and I love what your saying? because it?s the most immediately beneficial to me?

I?ve also considered what a poor witness it would be to her to not be with her because of my faith?

Yea.. she?s agnostic.. and not a strong-agnostic at that? she's not trying to convert me...

but it won't happen this time, at least thats the assumption you have to go with. assuming her eventual conversion is just asking for trouble.

that doesn't seem like a great way to start a relationship - hoping you'll change them - it implies a lack of respect for the other person and their beliefs.
 
That's something only you can decide.

For some people, faith seems to be important.

Personally, I have faith in Bob. Bob sneezed, and here we are.. talking about it.

Is religion and whatnot something she enjoys discussing? I couldn't imagine being with someone that didn't enjoy a good debate/argument once in a while. 😉

I don't think it is much of a change for an agnostic. I also don't think it implies any lack of respect, if you go about it right. Interesting point though.
