Also, having a partner who "shares all my beliefs completely" would not actually work for me, as that would be like being married to myself and kind of boring. Just saying I like the give and take that happens in a relationship when there are differences to deal with
I think she meant her religious beliefs.


MM are a Messianic Jew? I noticed you typed G-d...I've only seen Jews and Messianic Jews do that.

And the list can go on and on...

Yes. Although I slack, for some reason it's much easier for me to type God.

There is a group in my hometown called "Jews for Jesus."

Why do you assume an atheist would laugh at you or make fun of you for praying?

Oh no. I don't belong to that one. Too extreme, too radical, too pushy.

Oh...I took her to mean ALL her beliefs, not just her religious ones

Sorry if I misunderstood.

Ok... I'll add some more!
How about not letting her have an abortion?
Or how about not sending your kid to brainwashing at public schools? Will she agree to send the kid to a private Christian school?
Again... what would she say when 30% of your income will go to the Church and to the poor? Or when you won't want to buy a new house or a new car because those are not things that a Christian needs and you'll rather give those money to those who need it?
What would she say when you won't want to have sex with her because you are fasting?

Just a wild guess here, you don't actually KNOW any atheists do you?

I'm surrounded by atheists! Actually I know few Christians and most of the people I know are atheists!
