Is it wrong that a reject a guy only because he is atheist?

While he does sound perfect for you, if you're really religious I can see why it would be important for you to be with someone who shares your faith. There are just some differences you can't compromise on, no matter how great your potential boyfriend or girlfriend seems otherwise. With you, it's the difference in religion (or the lack of it). If your faith is that important to you that you need to be with someone who shares it or at the very least some branch of it (which is already pretty flexible on your part if he doesn't have to be Catholic all the way in order for him to stand a chance), then I don't think you did wrong by it. It would be worse if you agreed to be with him only to end up pressuring him to conform to your religion somewhere down the road because you can't get over the fact that he's an atheist and doesn't want to change that fact.

Youre clear you want your Kool aid. Thats fine, but are you ok if he doesn't drink it? And how do you guys feel about forcing it on your kids?

I'm being cute with the Kool aid bit, but you really need to figure out how much yall will bend to each other and how much you feel bound to follow a third party authority, and how he feels about the morality of letting his kids do that.

It's fine to reject him on that basis, but you both might want to reconsider your beliefs. He's right about there being no God, and you're right about there being life after death. None of you is further ahead of the other in understanding.

Wise people have a list, and don't settle.

Religion is a pretty strong value. You probably made the right choice.

Why would you think it's wrong for you to make your own choices? It's not like you own a restaurant, and you refused him service.

I don't blame you. That is your right. If religion is important to you, and not to him, then you shouldn't force yourself into a relationship. Maybe I'm ridiculous, but anytime I entered a relationship in my life the end goal was to be with that person. With that being said there are some things that are automatic rejections for me. For instance I'm the opposite, I can't be with someone religious, I respect people's beliefs, but I have no desire in religion and it's a complete turn off to me, so you stay true to yourself, and don't let people tell you that you're wrong for upholding your values.

Yeah that...that makes sense...

Sounds reasonable to me. If it's a big and important part of your life even that one thing being so opposite could cause problems. Religion is not and interest to you it sounds like more of a way of life. I think you made the right choice.

It's your life and thus your decision. It seems a little shallow to me, but who am I to judge?

No it's not wrong. You can date whoever you want. I don't think I could date a religious person.

your loss lol

Don't be unequally yoked.

Well that's your preference. But in my honest opinion, there is a possibility that problems would arise between you (religion-wise), however, if you think that religious perspective is needed in the guy you look for, then you weren't wrong.

Not cool

Only you can answer that. Do you hold possible eternal life higher than For sure bliss on earth?

No, everyone should make a choice based on their own values and what's important to them

It's up to you, but I wouldn't reject him for that reason. You could be the person that leads him to salvation.

Are you afraid that he may convert you?

A friend of mine husband was atheist. Now he is a preacher. It might rub off

If faith is important to you, an unequal relationship could be a strain. iI understand your dilemma

It can work honestly, but it might be a rough way to go if you are a devout Christian.

No, you have the right to choose your own partner using your own guidelines.

Fixed ideas create narrow minds

Yes.

Lol.

Date who ya want

Jesus would not approve

thats very narrow minded of you

Wow just wow. That's a dumb thing to do, but if you're not comfortable that he's an atheist then move on. I'm an atheist and I would date a devoted Christian guy if we both really liked each other.

You aren't the first woman to want the man who loves her to also love her God

Nah, I would reject a woman if she was atheist too

he will burn in hell..
