I would never have picked my husband at an online dating site. He's not witty with the written word, he can't spell, and he's not what I consider "my type" physically either.

He also believes in God, and I don't (although he's not at all religious - was raised Catholic, but has sort of vague spiritual beliefs and a vague interest in Buddhism.)

We're gonna go out (on a date!) in a week and a half.

Fun!

OK, I feel better about stuff. Thanks, y'all.

I don't know that pursuing a Master's in Religious Studies is likely to make somebody more religious.

Yeah, I'm now thinking this might mean she's more broadminded....

I'd think someone academically studying religion (including its history and how dogma changes over time) would be fairly openminded about it. At the very least, enough so that she doesn't assume she already knows all the answers.

tommy, from that brief description, I'd bet she's open minded enough to give it a go with you.

And also, congratulations! Yay date!

Everyone said what I was going to say, but this:

And also, congratulations! Yay date!

Needed repeating. I hope it goes well enough that the whole online-dating profile problem turns out to be unnecessary.

I would agree. I am on the deist side, but I LOVED my religion classes and considered pursing the study just because it was so gosh darned interesting. Unless the school is a religious one, I imagine you need to study all religions.

So. Say you were moving across the country, and something happened to your moving truck. You lost everything. What would you want your friends to send you?

I have to say, SMG deserved to get fugged for that outfit.

Also? I need more coffee.
