I'm a Christian, boyfriend is atheist?

"Blatant disrespect"- there, you should break up.

It doesn't even have to be religious.

You should not date anyone if they blatantly disrespect you.

P.S. don't mind the others on this website blatantly disrespecting you also.

Im agnostic myself cause i believe there can be a god but personally i think all religion is bullshit to be honest. I like to keep an open mind because who knows.

To your boyfriend what hes doing is wrong. Honestly im on his side of what he believes but not what hes doing. Hes no better than religions that push their beliefs on others. Im a firm believer in the fact everyone has their own rights to believe what they want, nobody is the same, what ever works in a persons life is up to them.

Let him know how you feel...i knew a couple who sat at my lunch table who did the same thing...i felt bad for the girl. Tell him how he makes you feel and how you dont have a problem with his beliefs and he has no.right to intrude on yours. If he wants to intellectualy discuss his views to you thats fine but to insult your beliefs is not. If you love him tho and hes loves you work through this cause its nothing to lose love over. Remember tho always keep an open mind and maby hear him out a little but dont let him do that to you.

Hope i helped :) have a good christmas

I went through the same with with my ex boyfriend many years ago. I am a christian and he was an atheist. At first, we were both respectful of our different beliefs, but after a while my ex would be blatantly rude and say such disrespectful things to me. Anyway, explain to your boyfriend how important God is to you and if he doesn't stop with being disrespectful then he can find another girlfriend.

You can do better by being yoked with someone with common interests dear.

His lack of respect for your beliefs will keep friction, regardless of what you share on other subjects, therefore he is not your assignment.

A Christian will go to God in prayer, while an atheist is against God, therefore against the Christ follower.

Whoever has the strongest belief can turn the other's beliefs.

I an Atheist, but I'll give a healthy advice. Confront him and tell him his being a horse's behind, and give him a piece your mind so that he will know how you feel about his poor use of words when he decides to shoot away at the mouth. However, I'm going to assume he happen to be that type of atheist that doesn't care. If it gets to the point where he doesn't stop, dump his *** and find someone else that will respect what you believe in or don't believe.

So your boyfriend has a couple of problems. First, he is obsessed with religious belief and his rejection of it. He feels insecure, and he needs to bolster his confidence by bringing other beliefs down. Second, he doesn't respect you, and that's what permits him to work out his frustration from his first problem on you.

It will not get better. This is precisely why the Bible tells us not to be "unequally yoked" with someone who doesn't share our faith.

I cannot tell you how many couples I've spoken with who marry despite different beliefs and then have marital troubles. One of two things happens: Either the Christian one falls away from their belief and begins to resent that the atheist partner pulled them away, or the Christian one continues to grow in their faith, and the atheist one resents that the Christian one favors belief over them. It ALWAYS works this way, especially after children arrive.

However, you have problems, too. By saying you don't care what a person believes, it's clear that you don't really take to heart what Jesus taught, that rejection of him will result in separation from God. I think that's sad. By accepting your boyfriend's disrespectful treatment, you're putting your security with him over your own emotional worth, and that's also a bad precedent to set that will only get worse. You're damaging yourself.

You need to move on. The right guy is out there.

Well he's wrong to call your beliefs stupid while you respect his. It seems like he doesn't respect you. I think it's hard for an atheist to be in a relationship with a theist, because in society it is encouraged for atheist to be blunt and this can come across harsh. I don't think your relationship will work out to be honest, you would probably do a lot better with someone you can share your beliefs with and practice them with too.

P.s. Atheist usually don't want a long lasting relationship with theist, it's just easier to get in the godly girls pants.

It's a double-edged sword, you know.

If he wants you to respect his non-belief, then he needs to also respect your belief.

If he mocks you now, just understand that things will only get worse, because people show their BEST side while dating, and if mocking and ridiculing you is his GOOD side, then just imagine what his BAD side must be like, and what he will be like later!

You don't deserve that kind of treatment. You deserve better.

If this were one of those "Ann Landers" or "Dear Abby" columns, I would tell you to dump him before he really gets abusive, and really does hurt you!

But it's not, so I'm not telling you that, but I WOULD.

N

If you consider his attitude, it is his true face and his honest stance. If it pisses you off at a time he is supposedly displaying his best side, imagine how it will be when he is your husband. Why not avoid the hassles of put down and disagreement, and you simply tell him he's isn't worth you abandoning your lifetime beliefs and purpose for living. You will not find happiness with him, period.

I don't think it will work out. While you each have the free will to believe as you choose than you both should respect each other first. if he doesn't respect you or your beliefs why is he with you. Without respect no relationship can last; religion or no religion.

"The thing that irks me, however, is that he openly states how stupid my beliefs are."

See this? Right there?

Dump him. He has no respect for you.
