I am not Christian but chrissy is very much Christian. He went to college to be a minister, in fact. Does he press his religious outlook on me? Not at all. Does he live by his religious outlook and not just mouth the words? Yes. I respect him so much for being a believer and a do-er in his faith. He, however, struggles with my paganism and my supernatural beliefs. He doesnt believe in psychics, yet my daughter is one. He doesnt believe in tarot, yet I read cards. He certainly doesnt believe in reincarnation, but I am sure of it. Would he go to a ritual with me? MMM...probably but would not respect it like I would wish he would. In other words, I think he would grumble under his breath throughout it. I do go to Christian rituals and am well behaved in them. Does any of this matter in our relationship? Not yet. And I hope it never does.

I dont date republicans. We would argue too much.

I have clear beliefs in how children should be raised. I would be hard pressed to date someone who did not honor this with my child, and if the way they raised their own children was deemed detrimental to the child by me, I would not be able to continue the relationship.

In my last year of drinking way back in the 80s, I actually dated someone who was racist. I talk about that as being one of my "bottoms". I could not do that now.

The biggest issue for me to overcome, is not religions or money or politics. Its animals. I am an avid animal lover. I smell of horse every chance I get. I have dog drool everywhere in my house. Cat fur clings to me like magnets. I am an animal lover. If someone did not like animals, especially animals in the house, that would be a deal breaker for me. And if they resented me rescuing animals, well, it would end quickly.
