In the movie Annie Hall, Woody Allen says his marriage ended "for religious differences. She was an atheist and I was an agnostic."
Is it just a joke or can the two find happiness?
Religion is so unimportant to me, I hardly ever discuss it. I couldn't be with a fanatic, no matter what they believe.
There's no inherent problem.
My late prior wife was a Methodist and I deconverted during our marriage. It didn't impact anything because I wasn't a dick about it, and our relationship was in no way based on shared religious traditions or beliefs. It was based on mutual respect and a bunch of shared interests that weren't tangled up with religion.
A better question would be can an agnostic/atheist person have a solid relationship with a religious person and frankly that would be a pain in the ass we tend towards logic and religious people have lazy minds they would rather be told what to believe than actually think
I think the terms are used wrong. look at the greek . A theist actually means no trust for the church not a lack of accepting the possibility of god and a gnostic is a gnosis simple meaning that I confess I can't know the truth of this and I won't damned well pretend I do. given the correct definitions yes I can't see why not. Atheists and agnostics with the correct definition are really the same people
Actually if it's the right person, it wouldn't make a difference what the beliefs are. Apparently the love was not there to begin with.
I'd agree to tie the knot if she'd agree to see reason.
Jk.
I'd never marry anyone. I don't believe in legally tying two lives together in such a way.
The best analogy to the question I can think of is: "Can a non-christian mary a non-protestant?" The two titles tell very little about the couples compatibility.
Love should trump levels of disbelief.
@AMGT Can't confirm or deny... and then again maybe that is why I am not married.
@MrLizard I had second thoughts... I should had follow my instincts instead. My Bad.
@AMGT I admit to have faith in love... but I love with my mind rather than with my heart so... my mind has this cutoff switch... very effective I may say.
