How Religion and Blind Belief Prevents and Destroys Perfect Relationships

(From a long while ago)

This note was inspired (and caused me to remember something in the past) because of a profile I saw. I was rated by a woman(more like a girl when it comes to understanding how she really sounded)on a site, so I checked out her profile also.  "About me" was typical.  Looking for someone who's a decent human being, doesn't lie, good virtues, all have seen this a million times.  She stressed on how she didn't want to meet or date people that didn't have good morals.  The last of list is the most revealing of her mentality, "above all else must be GOD fearing".  Does she not realized just how bigoted that makes her look?By putting that one sentence, she has revealed herself as caring less about those morals, good virtues, kindness, honesty being in any person if they don't blindly following something like she does. All of those good quality turn out to be a bit of cover to pretend she herself is a goodhearted accepting person. She's a bigot. And that bigotry will, and probably already has, caused her to not take up or have a relationship with many guys that could've been the greatest person she'd ever met or loved. I've given advice too many guys and girls about relationships.  But I can say with all honesty, the most disturbing and dumbfounding is the "religion" issue that I hear.  One question was from this guy on a site (the old MyYearBook). He was a christian and his girlfriend was an atheist. He told me that she was very firm in the fact that she would not convert, and he didn't know if he could be with her if she wouldn't.  He didn't said he couldn't see how it could work". I asked how long they had been together, he said about 4 months and gave me a quick rundown.He's said they both had never been as happy as they were together. I told him, "you enjoy the same things, you always wanted to be with each other, you're very close and respectful towards each other.He said at the beginning it didn't matter to him what she believed. That he was in love and she was amazing, it hadn't crossed his mind because he'd never been that happy. But then he asked what church she went to, and she said she was an atheist. That was when he was afraid to be with her because "he didn't know how he could be with an atheist".I was completely dumbfounded by this instant belief that he would have to even consider rejecting her. I asked him why he wanted her to convert. He said he was a christian and his family was christian. "What does that have to do with anything about you two? He actually said he didn't think it would work because she didn't believe, go to church. Again I asked, ok but answer the question, what does that have to do with anything?" He said he didn't know, it just felt like something might go wrong. I called him out, "what does she think about it?" She told him she loved him and he can believe whatever he wants, but she's can't convert or believe in something she really doesn't. She had no problem with people being religious as long as they don't harass her, tell her she's immoral or evil, talk trash about her behind her back and make up lies to pretend they're better than her just for not being like them or believing in something similar, but most of all trying to forcing her into it.Basically, she was fine with him being religious, that's his and his family's choice. But she didn't see that as a reason to not love him or that she can't be with him. That stuff aside, she loved him, not is religion or his belief, and unlike most Christians she'd met he was decent and actually kind. He on the other hand, had been brought up being told that he HAS to marry a Christian like himself because they are the only REAL good people, and everyone else is pretty much pretending they're good to trick people.That's how MANY Christians are raised, despite the overwhelming truth that they're preaching lies, bigotry, and hatred to make themselves feel better than they actually are. It's sad isn't it?He was conflicted about the situation because he could feel it deeply that what they brought him up thinking was completely untrue, because he loved someone who wasn't Christian, religious, or a believer in a deity, who loved and respected him. She was a good hearted kind person who wanted to be with him, but all the brainwashed made him believe falsely that anyone who would not covert immediately had to be a bad person.I asked him if she tried to convert him to atheism, he said not at all. He explained that they talked about religion without arguing, just discuss it because she likes to learn more about it even if she doesn't believe it.I pointed it out, "honestly, it's sad to think you're willing to throw a wonderful relationship in the trash, and reject someone you're so close to because she won't convert to whatever you want her to be. You want her to take away a part of herself, throw it away, and be more like you to make YOU happy. And at the same time, she saw you for you, loves you for YOU. Not the religion you profess, not how often you go to church, none of that. Before you knew, all you wanted was to be with her and her with you. Now you're the only one willing to see everything differently and turn your back on her because your family raised you to be hateful and judgmental of others.    He said, "It's fair to ask her to change for me?". I said how is it fair? Are you going to become an atheist? he said no of course. Not kowtowing to what you want doesn't make her selfish. And your take on it is showing you're biased, selfish, and hypocritical. You're saying "I only love Christians. I can't love non-Christians, that's immoral". But your atheist girlfriend says, "I love you even if we don't agree. I want you. That's what matters to me."He started to understand what he was doing, how she really loved and cared about him, and how he wasn't treating her very lovingly or seeing what was actually happening(he couldn't. The entire choice to brainwash someone to think a certain way to hopefully make them so brainwashed that can't even recognize they're doing something bad and claim it as good. Look at WBC and the kids that left. When they figured out how mean and cruel they were being, they had broke down in tears and left the cult)He actually admitted that he started crying because he didn't realize just how judgemental he was being without realizing it and was ashamed that his family made him blind to their bigotry.Told him that he knew what was right now, so he can correct himself. Show her how grateful you are for having her as she is, and her beliefs don't matter. I asked him if he loved her, he said with all his heart more than anything he wants to be hers. Told him love comes first. if you love each other, you're both good people, and treat each other kindly, nothing else should matter. He thanked me and said god bless me xD then he asked what I believed in, I said I was an atheist. Response, "LOLOLOLOL Thank you still anyway ;) god bless you still".

 I think if you're religious and read this, you should really take it to heart the truth of this story. It's not made up, it actually happened(I hate those bull chain letters/comments BLEH!)So many potentially amazing relationships that could be are stopped or prevented because of a biased belief that love is almost 'regulated' by religion.  You should choose based on the type of person they are not what their religion is.  It is considered petty to think,"we both have the same morals, but I choose to think mine are just BETTER because I'm religious, and since you're not religious you're not worthy of love, especially MY love. god wouldn't want me to and might punish me if I loved you or stayed with you".  and that's because the bible teaches untruth that non-believers are horrible immoral and only do bad things and they aren't capable of doing good deeds
Psalm 14
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”  They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good."So apparently (this is to all my friends and loved ones), I'm an abominable unintelligent fool who is evil and do wrong to all of you, never good, never kind, only lie, corrupt. :| This is where you get to choose:A) the bible is infallible and I'm a horrible human being because a book told you to think so rather than going off what you know from experience.B)Yahweh "inspired" them to deliberately lie in order to spread hatred, which you'd have to believe your god is evil to spread lies about people just to encourage hate and convince people it's okay to be cruel and attack decent people.or C)The bible is not infallible, is not truth, is not history, and is invented by people not a magical being.In the end you have to choose one. If you don't, you're lying to yourself and leaving yourself open to be used and taken advantage of when an important choice needs to be made. Blind belief, blind believe in a god that lies to spread hate against good people, or the bible is false and you're not going to use what it says to learn what is good and moral.
