Single Christian men?

[Beelzebaby666]

I tried to sign up for e-harmony but they didnt have an already married box for my compatibility match :shrug:

I signed up for that years ago, thinking the tests would be cool and weed out the ones who were really wrong for me to date...

I immediately got an email saying that no one met my criteria and that it seemed that no one, out of thousands of people registered on the site were even closely compatible to me.

But they said to keep my head up and they'd keep checking


Did I mention I was voted most original person in my junior high school?:lmao

This post has been reported for religionist comments.

Is that a joke? I can't tell.

In my experience, those that say they're looking for a [insertreligion], good [insertgender] are anything but well grounded.

yea, because no one wants to find someone of their preferred sex with similar values to their own. unless they're complete psychos...

Since when are being religious and having values directly related? The average religious person is just as screwed up as the average non-religious person. Of course, they never see it that way...

Yes, I asked if you were joking about reporting the post for "religionist comments," because that would be absolutely absurd, being that there is nothing anti-religion mentioned in it. If you were being sarcastic, that's cool and it just didn't come across as well in print as it would have in person.

I said similar values--meaning a Christian would find another Christian to have similar values to their own. You can replace both occurences of the word "Christian" in the previous statement with Atheist, Buddhist, Jewish, Satanist, Pastafarian, etc. It's not a matter of values vs. non-values. It's a matter of the compatibility of those values.

If I pour water on ya will you grow a sense of humor like a chia pet?

And I'm saying that religion has about as much to do with people's values as their IQ does. Values, morals, whatever are basically the same across all cultures, religions, creed. Sure, religions preach up and down about 'em, but 1. the message is basically the same (religious fanatics aside) and 2. of everyone I've met, all would've had the same values- or lack thereof- if their religious stance was any of the above.

ok, so it was a joke. You could have said that. It's hard to tell these days, with so many people offended by religious beliefs and the difficulty of effectively using sarcasm in print.

But a lot of people want more than just a basic similarity in values with someone they would like to spend the rest of their life and raise a family with, and there's nothing wrong with that.

That's part of why you lurk a bit and get a feel for things. This place is one big playground.

you're not getting it. Religion does not decide people's values. People decide people's values regardless of religion.

Fair enough.

I get what you're saying. You're just wrong. Although the majority of our values come from basic common sense and human decency, religion still does have a strong influence in some of the less common values. There are certain personal values I hold that I would not have had I been of a different faith, and even more had I been of no faith, while most I would still have regardless. Those few that are derived solely from my religion could conflict with the beliefs of other faiths, which wouldn't be a problem in a fairly casual relationship, but could throw a wrench in an intimate one.

I used to be an alter boy. I think I must be ugly, though. Never molested.

I used to be an altar boy too!
I live near Tampa, and I am president of a non profit singles group
We have Christian Singles and Non Christians, and we all get along.
Seriously, how do we as Christians KNOW we are not gonna be the ones God sent to SAVE a Non Christian ?

Are you open to a nice guy that is a scientoligist?

Fair enough.

And so religion dictates morals rather than the individual constantly making a choice to keep those values? If that was the case religious, immoral people wouldn't exist.

No, the individual makes the choice to keep those values. The OP is merely looking for other people making more similar choices in values.

Let's say 95% of our values come from common sense and real life experience, and 5% come from religion. That 5% could contain a lot of things that could cause great conflict with people of different belief systems in an intimate relationship--premarital sex and living together, abortion, birth-control, church-going, child-rearing, divorce, pre-nuptuals, etc--many of which are controversial issues that generate strong feelings in people.
