Saw your picture with "Trump". If that happens again do me a favor and pick some mushrooms.

I tried it. He said I might be going to hell since I didn’t believe in God. We didn’t talk religion much. Politics came up more. He was mostly apathetic but obviously leaned conservative. It bothered me a lot. I won’t do it again.

I personally would find it extremely difficult to live with someone who spent their life on their knees praying.
Every relationship needs an intellectual meeting of minds, maybe not always agreeing, but always able to discuss.- my experience of religious ladies is that their minds are closed tight and I can not share a life withut debate

I can't.

I think religion and politics are associated with some pretty strong core beliefs and values...and more and more, I think brains must be wired differently because it is becoming more and more difficult for me to even understand how some people can even think what they do...

You can deal with how someone puts the toilet paper on the roll but not if they think a father and daughter deserved to die for trying to get to the USA...

I could not have any meaningful relationship with a man or woman who did not have aligned values....I also don't care about those who have no interest at all...it means, to me, that they are just not engaged in what I think is important...

Everyone handles it differently...for me...I can't and won't...

No. Last woman I dated (briefly) didn't "get involved in political discussions". Also didn't seem to care where her dog pooped - as long as she didn't have to pick it up.

That didn't last long...

I want every voter to vote for me because I stand for what is beneficial for everyone and our mutual interests....clean air pure water natural food true healthcare and safe science
...If a woman votes for me to be her lifelong lover AND believes nutty or harmful phenomena....I am not going to condition my love on scrubbing those ideas out of her brain.....so far my lovers have either died on me or chose to love someone else thus I divorced them ....I hope she who chooses me for love is an honest Feminist Atheist up front instead of hiding hostile religious ideas or polluter oil war crime profiteering bankster zionism approvals

My political and religious views, if indeed I have any, certainly don’t define me any more than being a supporter of Southampton Football Club or not eating meat. I have had friends who support Portsmouth and eat meat. I have friends who are Buddhist, Christian, Wika and Moslem.

If that is where one’s core lies one probably need to delve a bit deeper!

If you let nonsense like religious and political prejudice impinge upon any relationship you may as well move to a remote Scottish island with your cat where you need have little contact with anyone.

We are all different and it is shallow to consider that anyone is the sum total of their beliefs.

We all disagree with everyone about something. Better to be adult about it and share what you have in common than what divides you!

I couldn’t cause I like talking about those issues. Not good at holding my tongue just to get along or get laid.

Yeah without common ground not much left to share

By not talking about religion or politics.

I have friends who don't share all my beliefs or lack of them, but I couldn't be in a close long-term relationship with anyone who didn't share my core principles.

I agree with you, I couldn't. Could I be friends with someone like that, maybe. I have in the past, but only if we avoided discussing those issues, and still, the length of the friendship was limited.

Not politically right now, probably not religiously either.
