Yes? Or No?

Last year I dated a pisces who wanted to be a preacher. My current partner isn't ( which is pretty nice ) but I remember I tried reading the Bible with him and went to church on Sundays.

Than came the point where he said if I couldn't find the road to god and commit a 100% it wouldn't work. I never found that road.

I saw too many contradictions that prevented me from going in all the way. I'm open to other's way of living but I couldn't give my soul to something because of another person. I need to believe in it

Are people worth your soul?

I had this talk with my ex-husband, when he called me for some advice. He was with a girl for about 2.5 years, that was Muslim. She was devout as well. She couldn't even talk about him to her family, or acknowledge him to her parents, unless he was Muslim. And she didn't want to do what her cousins had done, and had their husbands just convert without really practicing. So he tried for about 6 months, and at the end of it, he just realized he would always be Agnostic, and that religion wasn't his cup of tea. Though he loved her, and she loved him, he made the decision to end the relationship because it was just something that was a deal breaker for her, and he was not willing to follow a religion.

Careful with church... It can be a breeding ground for desperate singles.

Religious folks might use the whole "God told me this or that" just to get with someone. 🤪

lol "might" lol they "DO" all the time and everyone who doesn't know about Baptist Churches has got some learnin' to do

Lol! Okay okay I definitely went soft with "might" 🤣

lol, love is a cheap and silly reason. OFC everybody says NO. Duh. 🙄

How about... Would you convert to a religion for a mansion like below...







+ maintenance, security and all bills covered for a life time? 😏

If it's a peaceful religion - might be worth it (: a solid Yes - if you will). That's like a free ticket to a materialistic paradise. Ofc, health maintenance and a career of your choice (some meaningful goal - so you won't waste the rest of your life lazying around in one of those villas) - that's on you. 😛
