    Was Secular Humanist atheist 1998-2013 until converting to moderate Sunni Hanafi Islam to date law abiding london pakistanis. I quit alcohol 2006 and was straight edge before so very against intoxication. racist parents repeatedly tried to force me into according to northwell south oaks “incest” arranged marriages with uneducated feminists I have nothing in common with as an engineer.

      How did you cope with converting to be with someone? Recently I met someone with whom my values were profoundly different (I’m of an Atheistic religion and she was a fundamentalist Christian). This ultimately played a big part in why it didn’t work in addition to other stuff, but I tried to distance myself with my religion to appease her (this also bothered her because she wanted me to change, but felt bad about wanting that).

      It didn’t feel right though and I failed to truly distance myself from it. My religion was not arbitrarily aquired, and was thus hard to disregard emotionally and cognitively

        Boycott bisexualphobic anti-abortion “fundamentalist Christian” people and states such as tennessee since 2006 because they say anyone who disagrees should be jailed by central nassau guidance, etc. and will go to “hell.” Current oklahoma lawsuit government money being spent on their school.

        It’s easy to convert when you already believe at least one Quran chapter at age 18 due to frauds pursuing you with evil illegal motives. extremists such as the most conservative zionists like my late grandfather said you must worship 100% of the religion and not change anything for thousands of years. As corrupt connecticut said 10 years ago, “Syncretism” combines multiple faiths.

        I don’t ask women to pray or go to Mosque and reject when they try to convert me including to other sects. There are 4 billion females and you shouldn’t deny reality to appease a zealot who will always be incompatible.
