CoJ invades my real life - I'm going to hell but he'll date me anyway

wait.

You mean....  CoJ isn't real life?

Pretty interesting to see what happens when an Evangelical Christian meets up with someone who is very comfortable spiritually speaking. (But not of the same faith)

So much energy is put into "Saving the Soul" of the non-believer. Effort that will ultimately go nowhere.

Sounds like he is not done trying to "Save You" in spite of the fact that you don't need to be "saved"

but - we need to know one thing

Was he HOT?

Weellllll... how hot do you find a man to be when he says "I like you. And I'd like you to change."????? (I know - you're being facetious. Still. Ya know?)

Funny about the scientology.

rephrase

Was he hot before he opened his mouth?

Now you made me spew beer all over my screen!!!

what's his position on beer? i mean, that's right up there with finding a common ground on faith, right?

Oh my.

Well, sorry you're going to hell, but I'm the bartender on the bus there anyway, so it's all good. We can trade bad dating stories.

Well, yes, that is his position. On being damned.

More importantly, not sure his position on beer. I should definitely follow up on that! Well, I would if I were actually going to speak with him again...

Practice this line

"I'm sorry, I don't think it will work. Even if I can get you to realize that you are wrong, I'm afraid that any children we would have would be ugly.....like your mother"

 -- Where am I going, and what am I doing in this basket--

Oh no Renee, COJ is way more sensible than that guy.  Though I stayed out of the "Satan" thread, I do in general notice that we discuss things with the understanding that our beliefs do differ from one anothers'.

And we're definitely smarter about catching a clue.  If we're looking for someone who SHARES our beliefs (as that guy thought he was?), savvy COJ'ers don't do it by walking around with a cudgel for use in the conversion of our prospective mates.  I personally don't go trolling for other Christians outside of (drumroll please...) CHURCH!  Yeah, we tend to "congregate" in obvious locations.  Ba-dum bum. 

Better luck next time, babe. 

Dave! I'm trying to take the high road here! (but that was damn funny)

Mary, to channel my high school self: Girl, you must be high! I'm not doing a WWBTDAMND (WWBTD about my non dating) thread! Yes, I had a profile. It lasted about a week before I deleted it. I did get one interesting response from it and that is ongoing. And that's all I have to say about that (now channelling Forest Gump).

As for this prospect, I cut him loose - without insulting his mother.

When are the Marines coming back?

I have no problem with him telling/showing me that we are incompatible during the first conversation. Why waste time? I kept agreeing that we were at an impasse since he needed me to be a Christian and I'm not Christian and have no intention of changing and that we would be unequally yoked and there was no fudging around it. 

It's the part where he was angling for me to CHANGE so that I would be compatible (or 'equally yoked') with his beliefs that I take issue with. If you can't accept me as I am, move on!

Especially when there are so many other options to explore.

Oh, wait....  DATING....

Disregard.
