I currently have a female colleage who is 35 and has been married FOUR times and is currently having an affair with a married man at work. She has the nerve to tell me, "You know, like, you're gonna go like to hell or whatever 'cause you're like not in church every Sunday." She's a Jesus freak in spades and dares tell me off while she's leading an immoral life to a almost hilarious degree.
Yes, many Christian people actually aren't very Christian.

Case and point. Total disrespect. Just because you have run into a few of these judgmental people who "claim" to be religious, this does not mean that everyone who is a beleiver has this same attitude

This co-worker of yours is obviously not truly Christian. Beware, there are many fonies out there far and wide who proclaim that they are Christian just for the sake of being able to claim so.

My Mom had a friend of this nature. It's amazing, isn't it?!

Very important. I'm an atheist and want someone who thinks along the same lines. I can't fathom the idea of how couples make it work if one is a strong believer and one is not.

Agreed 100% with you and Ulysses: if a so-called "Christian", doesn't walk the walk, and actually practice what s/he preaches, IMO there's nothing "Christian" about them.

(The other irony is, a lot of these kind of ppl will also tell you that "good works", don't matter either -- nuff said )

You seem to judge religious people in the same way.

I'm not religious either, but I don't judge others for being so

I don't want to debate the substance of you're post, but if there were an award on C-D for most ironic sentence, this would win.

Religious beliefs are important when raising children together.

If they are very important to you, you should find someone with similar beliefs.

If they aren't important to you but they are for someone else, you may have a conflict.
