Girl you have got to screen better

That's a real run of bad luck! Perhaps your search will be more fruitful here. By the way, have you accepted Jesus as your personal lord and savior? Kidding, kidding! Let he who is without humor cast the first stone. Good luck to you in your dating adventures!

I would have deleted him the moment he admitted he was a Christian/Trump follower. I have no wish to debate, or date, anyone alt-right.

Bill sounds like a nightmare. Also I'd like to thank you for sticking up for millennials. We take a lot of undeserved flak, when we're just trying to undo the damage others created.

Had a minister try to convert me on my job almost a decade ago now, on Good Friday. it tried a few times to steer the convo away from it but he wouldn't let it go. I finally said "have a happy Jesus on a stick day" but I've really gotta get back to work.

The first thing I look at is religion. Christian or even Buddhist or some other religious belief is a big no. Jewish is a conundrum because there are a lot of secular Jews. Also, when someone says other it tells me there has been no thought of religion and the person probably lacks critical thinking skills, which is a warnings sign to me.

I paid for my niece and her family to visit (they live in San Antonio). I know they are Jehova's Witnesses but they said they would not proselytize and they mostly did not. But one night my Niece explained their belief to me. In return I explained mine to her and they accepted this. The temptation to push their beliefs is simply too much for them and anyone with even an inkling of religious beliefs will do the same.

Please set your boundaries, what you will accept and what you won't and stick to them. Reason has to take precedence over emotion. Dating issues have been discussed over and over on this site. I think everyone agrees being single is better then being in a relationship that is challenged.

Awhile back, in a moment of weakness, I began a journey of trying to reconnect with a past girlfriend. It was one of those things you know it probably isn't going to end well but you do it anyway. This went on for a few years. Then the POTUS primaries and General Election came. She had never been political before, and despite her short comings, seemed compassionate to those less fortunate. Then boom, her Christian friends got her involved in politics and religion, and she was a Trump supporter. It was so confusing and offsetting to me, but it cured me of my desire to bring back the past.

You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find that one that transforms to your "one & only"! Statistics say 80 encounters, whether on or off line.

If I met the female version of any of these people, except maybe the martin luther thing, I would be out. And to have anybody think about the trumpling in a positive way, would, and does, blow my mind. He has no redeeming value as a human being. The martin luther thing would probably follow up with more inanities, and then I would be out...haha

Only a scientologist while I was waiting for a bar to open. She was standing on the corner downtown, and I will talk to anybody standing on any corner in any town. Cuz that's how I roll. She proceeded to try to agree with me on everything I said and get me to come in for a personality test. She didn't need to lie, I would have taken the test for shiggles anyways. I took the test, they told me I was 'too aggressive' and they could fix it. I was like, I do security for bands, so aggressiveness is good for my chosen profession. They were like, "No, you need to be even like this chart our computer has generated." I was like, "So you think everybody should be flatlined? Pretty nihilistic of you, I can appreciate that." They brought in more scientologist mucks to say the same thing over and over again, til I saw that it was time for the bar (The Bone in Portland Oregon...doesn't exist anymore, or I don't think it does, I think it is some crazy strip club) to open, so I thanked them for the entertainment, and left. The end.

Barf! Glad you got rid of them.

Jeebus.
I've had people go out with me for the sole purpose of converting me, but that hasn't happened since junior college. And it wasn't nearly as heroin the story is yours sounds like

Bill - I think it might be men named 'Bill"? Sorry Bill

Gees that's awful. Do you really feel like you could have a relationship with someone who was that religious? I know my days of tolerating anything like this are long gone.
"Don't talk to me about religion" so he sends you a letter. Egads!

Also with parents who had been in Auschwicz - I don't know how he became a Born Again Christian? And so intolerant.

I feel for you.

And no this has never happened to me.

The funniest thing is he wanted me to be submissive and obey his orders in bed. I was aghast. If he's Mr. Superchristian, what's he doing "fornicating" with me? His bible is clear that sex outside of marriage is forbidden. Of course he was trying to get me into a submissive role. After all, the bible says in Ephesians, "wives submit yourself unto your husbands." Good luck with that.

"Anal sex is the ultimate in submission," he said. "You FIRST," I said firmly. "YOU go get f-cked up the ass by a well-hung man, and tell me how you liked it." That was another reason I dumped him. We were sexually incompatible.

Pretty near every girl/woman I ever dated.

Definitely. I changed my religion to agnostic and that fixed it. I don't know what it is about the word atheist that gets those people's juices flowing.

I had an odd one night stand (ok we went for two coz the sex was great) with a Nigerian woman I met online. She lived quite a way from me so we were never going to be steady but we dug what each other said online so off I go. She was a collector of sorts, loved sex in all it`s weird and wonderful guises and could tell me of adventures that would make a sailor blush. Turned out that she was a very committed Christian, The rampant sex not withstanding. In the intervening hours of non-coitus, discussed theology. Very odd indeed.

Holy crap that guys a total winner =( that whole "I've got mine" mentality is too common, and infuriating. The whole..Trump stuff..That's just a special breed of dafuq. Sorry you even had to endure that limited time. But good on you for putting him in his place!

Oh yes don't know why people think that this is something that can be changed. Dated one woman that said I'm me you're you so if we hit it off fine if not hope we have both found a friend. After a month she came clean about her religious beliefs and I respectfully said they would never be mine. For the next month she persisted and one day I just never called or went back to see her.

That sounds just awful.

I love it when people try to convert me as they always leave, angry, confused or openly questioning their faith. In some cases, I have managed to release some from the tethers of religion.

I have no tolerance for superstitious people who consider faith (the foundation of all religion (belief without evidence)) to be a credible avenue to determine truth. As I value truth and honesty, and asserting faith as a gateway to truth is not honest, any religious predisposition is a disqualifying attribut in any potential relationships. I have learned not to waste my time beating around the bush of: are you rational or superstitious? and addressing this issue from the get go as life is to short to wast time trying to open they eyes of reason of a person who wishes to remain in the darkness.

Although I really wish your "The good news is you and your ilk are dinosaurs. . . ," yes, you supported this assertion, However these dinosaurs are sadly still very much alive and doing much destruction to the world.

By promoting educational/socio-economical disparity betweens the classes and moving the masses into an ever increasing state of less educated and more medically and economically vulnerable status, I believe the planned outcome of many theists (or those figureheads "guiding" theists is to marginalize the masses forcing them to be desperate and "come to god/church" for help giving more power to the churches as churches do best in societies marginalized by poverty, lack of higher education/opportunities.

In short, the more safety nets you dismantle, the more desperate the masses and the stronger religions can flourish in the ashes dis-pare. An interesting study on this topic is the rise of the crisis cults. By denying our destroying of our environment, climate deniers (mostly theists) are actively advancing the policy that is leading us down the road to ruin.
