This is not a relationship help post, but a semi-rant, if you will. Also, take note that this did not take place in the Western world.
Recently, I was having lunch with my colleagues and one of them, who's quite attractive, asked me about my religious beliefs. I say attractive because she has beauty and brains.
I told her that I was a Christian, of Denomination A, but unchurched. She told me that she was of Denomination A too, but did not like the church environment she grew up in (which became so commercialised) and eventually left the church and Christianity altogether.
She then said she had a preference for dating guys of Denomination B, and that "all her exes" are Denomination B guys... because Denomination B was less stringent, less uptight, etc.
Would I pursue a colleague? No. Would I wife up this woman in particular? No.
But there's something to be said about how the church environment affected her and there's one less attractive woman that would've made a great wife and mother... one less option that went out there to be railed by other guys. And she's not the first woman like this that I've met.
I don't know what I felt, but it hit me in the gut.
I was reminded by the word that says the world rejects you because they rejected Jesus first... but I couldn't shake it for a few days.
Gah. My mind knows what the RP concepts are at play here but my gut says otherwise.
