Reply To: So, I am atheist.

@BeckL that’s a hard spot to be in. There’s no way to predict how and when people will change over time but it does happen. My wife and I both were agnostic when we met. For me, it was just a matter of coming out fully atheist. When I did, I was hard core and angry for awhile about how religious this country is. Then I settled down. After that, it was her turn. It was kind of cute actually. Her bringing up subjects I argued about just a few years back. But I’m glad she came around because then she became more comfortable in her skin as she started announcing her atheism. We have often spoken about relationships in which one is an atheist and the other a theist and how that would cause some major problems. She has a co-worker who has a small child that has yet to tell her husband she’s agnostic. He wants their child raised in church and she’s trying her hardest not to let that happen. I think the greatest problem that can exist between two people in a long term commitment is that their core beings along with their beliefs will eventually come into conflict. It’s inevitable. I hope it continues to work out for both of you.
