Of course I like things about him. It's all very new and I'm still getting to know him but off the bat: he's attractive, intelligent (it would seem, when he isn't saying the "spirit" is the answer to all, I kid a little but seriously it's like that), wants something serious, and can speak on other things other than religion.
I'm reminded of one group I had all but forgotten.
The religious zealots.
What can you expect with a religious fanatic? I mean its kind of weird to hear, from a suitor, "gawd this" and "lord that" and "jebus" for everything! He's already inviting me to church revivals and the like.
I take my religion to the heart..No I dont practice it at this time, I do believe in it. I wont go to any other church except to a wedding or a funeral. I wont shove it down someone throat. Ive only dated one man who was the same religion as me. Some people are shocked of my religious beliefs and personal beliefs because of my outgoing ways, they often tell me WOW..I thought you were the opposite.
"Religiously overbearing" is a type of person. Even my brother's wife's kids call her that because (and I've found this out for myself about her) anything a perons talks to her about, she has to bring religion into it. I asked her one time "why do you do that?" and she answerd me "just the way I am."
I'm religious, but, like my wife, don't have to bring religion up in every conversation I have with someone!

Too many times have people admitted to me they had assigned me to a "personality type" to learn later there's much more to me than that. I actually like to think I have a wide array of interests that prevent me from being lumped into a "type".
Well most zealots like to shun the very appearance of evil and avoid touching the unclean thing. He couldn't be all that religious by going after a heathen, unbeliever or someone not of the same faith.

Thank you! That is the thing with this guy... every conversation he injects something about religion.
I told him about a coding project and he was like... you'll finish the project on time if the lord blesses. [I was like dude I'm just trying to shoot the breeze with you.]
How are you? God has blesssed me. [Uhm blessed you with meningitis or what iono?]
What are you doing later tonight? Going to church.
Do you want to go to a salsa concert next week? I'll go because I know I'm annointed. [Uhm ok]
And every so often a random out burst of thank you jesus and I've been blessed.... sure I know I'm a catch but come'on heh
I'm like dude chill just relax.

People who display such zealotry towards their religious convictions are normally recent converts. It's somewhat normal for recent converts to wear their religion on their public sleeves. This is an attempt at attracting attention and make a go at "winning souls for the Lord," or at least getting souls to attend their church.
For many, the outward displays of religiosity tends to wane and dissipate as time passes. But, it could be quite some time before that happens. Nonetheless, life's realities have a way of opening eyes and taming zealous hearts.
