That's your opinion. Rejecting God is bad in my mind so any kind of relationship is inconceivable.The problem I have with this, is Atheist are well behave, they have high morals. They don't go around breaking laws. They aren't convinced there's a God. But they aren't bad. They mind their own business.
She will have to compromise her faith dating you. Up to her if she is willing to do that and up to you if you want to put her through it.I am an Atheist, but I respect the right of anybody to believe their beliefs and I would never criticise anybody for holding a true faith in the heart. I met a lovely lady and we have started dating, she is a Christian and regular church goer, is the relationship doomed to failure or can the two coexist? We're both middle aged, divorced and with grown up family so we wont be looking to procreate, there is therefore no great imperative for marriage or cohabitation, we both have our own homes and like it that way.
What are the thoughts of the Christians on here?

I'm not currently Christian, but as someone who was raised in a Christian community, I'll say that it's up to the two of you whether it works out or not. A relationship tends to be "easier" the more homogeneous it is in terms of ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, etc., but it's not doomed, no.I met a lovely lady and we have started dating, she is a Christian and regular church goer, is the relationship doomed to failure or can the two coexist?

That's great.I don't know about that. My husband and I couldn't be more different. Racially, culturally, religiously, hobbies and interests, etc. We stay married because the marriage is more important than those really quite trivial differences.

I don't recall knowing a Christian couple not having sex, before getting married. I believe the waiting to have sex is a Mormon thing.I have heard of it working. You can coexist I would imagine but don't ever put down her beliefs. I personally would probably avoid such a relationship but in your situation I see no problem with it, though I am wondering why she isn't seeking marriage even if there are no plans to procreate... Adultery is still a sin.

You can date.
But arguing/debating on religious beliefs, no.
But beware if you both fall in love, she will try her best to save you from going to hell....Assuming she believes in the concept of hell.. Well, I don't but many Christians do.
Same thing that I wanted to say. She'll love you too much to let you go to hell.
In my opinion, this is a bad idea. I appreciate your kindness towards believers, but the future is unknow. It could go either way.
What are these gender roles and why should they be taken seriously?
Saying "you shouldn't discuss this" doesn't help pursuade people who don't already agree with you.The man being spiritual head in marriage and of their family is not something a Christian male should take lightly or a Christian female should dismiss.
