Hey Paul1967, you should find yourself a girl for what she's got inside her head not what kind of religious book she reads. religious people tend to be brainwashed on some issues no changing that

Yeah I would've noped that from space. Nopety nope nope nope. Churchgoats smh...

Listen, Paul... Does Christine think there is a difference in iniquity between two girls going at it and and a man and woman, not married to each other, doing the same thing? If she does, and presuming you guys have had carnal knowledge, she may want to go back to catechism class or Sunday school or whatever.

Best you found out about them fairly quickly, but I think I'd have stayed and said something like "is that what all of you believe? It's unacceptable to refer to gays like that" then see what happens.

In your situation I would have wanted to do the same - but I doubt I would have had the guts to do it.

If this was recently and if Christine calls you, I think you at least owe her an explanation. You never know - it might make her re-evaluate a few things.

Ugh. That has to be a heck of an assault on your emotions, @Paul1967, compounding what you went through with your divorce.

I agree with @VictoriaNotes, though, about coloring all Christians the same. I wasn't a bigot when I was religious. One of the things that keeps me tolerant is watching my mother and sister who are both Christians, but they are also the most tolerant, giving people I've ever known and they do it without judging.

About not risking a relationship with a believer, I dunno ... I love a Christian who's breaking my heart with it, but the dating pool sure gets shallow without them. And I like to believe that at least some of them are good people considering that's where I came from.

I admire your spunk. I have dated many women in my life and only one I know of was a non-believer. The rest were probably Christian but not strong Christians. So the subject just never came up. But my dating wasn't looking for a wife. I was just looking to get laid and hoping it would turn into a stable relationship. I have always enjoyed living alone, even though I've been married twice and had several long term relationships. Being with believers is easy if neither is trying to mess with the others beliefs.

You did the best thing. Someone that gives her child this kind of "education" can't be a good person and you obviously don't need someone like this in your life. I am 21 years old and my dad (he is also Christian) insulted homosexuals his whole life, since I was a child. He always told me how disgusting they are and that I should stay away from them. I NEVER thought that he was right even if he raised me with this mentality I don't think that there is something wrong in being homosexual. Homosexuality is not normal but a pregnant virgin is normal??? People need to have an own brain and THINK.

I’m surprised you made it a month knowing that she was a Christian. Kudos to you for walking away.

I agree with Gramz. Maybe some of these hateful attitudes will change if they meet with some honest disapproval. Church bubbles probably shield them from much of that, leaving such awfulness unchallenged.
