I have posted on something similar to this in the past and i'm pretty sure i had said, basically, no.
Funny how we grow and change isn't it?
Cause i sure have and now my partner has so many different views on things than i do. She is agnostic. I consider myself, my *own* version, of a Christian.
I thought it would be hard to date someone that believed differently than i do, but actually it isn't at all. We both respect each others beliefs or non beliefs and in addition there is non spoken boundaries that just come naturally to us in our relationship.
Bully knows i pray for and light candles for peeps and i can talk about stuff freely and she listens to me and understands. How wonderful is that!!! There is no judgement or making fun of me or light of me. It is just respected. And vice versa i would never push my beliefs on her, that's just not how i roll and it's our yin yang that continues to broaden my way of thinking while holding onto passionate things that are important to me in my life.
Politically, we are pretty close and it's enlightening hearing her take on things as she has lived in many liberal parts of the country and has a very large knowledge base when it comes to the big issues out there. I have learned tons from her.
I also believe in ghosts and the supernatural. Bully...not so much. I find it endearing that she is so comfortable with my spirituality and her ease into my "way" of living just as i am comfortable and try to embrace her world as she sees it.
Somehow...it just works.
Great thread!!!
