Most Russian woman are raised in families where parents are atheist but grandparents are orthodox Christians. So a woman have a strange mixture of superstitions, untrustiness to religion and at the same time she thinks that she believes in God.
What do you think about kids? She can pass her atheism philosophy to your kids. Will it really hurt you?
Bagira,
That topic alone is enough reason for me to want an FSU woman more than ever before.
Gorgeous body, educated mind, devoted to family life, healthy & compatible sex drive and on top of that she's free of religion's mind repressing taboos and dogma?????
Are you kidding me???
Most western men would go to extraordinary efforts to find, meet, love, marry and devote his life to a woman like that.
Count me in...:)
Religion and God are as personal as one's death, no one else can do it for you and your beliefs should be as personal as your death. I personally believe in God and practice my faith, but that doesn't mean I'm going to shove it down someone's throat. I think most of the women here are of orthodox faith, and the religious rearing of children is between you and her.
Nothing like a bit of ascetism and self-immolation to help turn tinned luncheon meat into a feast. :-)
Business Class flights had me puking.. Far too rich food and the wife..... gawd bless 'er... was as drunk as a lord. Kids enjoyed it, though. Soon changed that, I thrashed them mercilessly until they renounced the evils of indulgence.

Britain is one of the most secular countries in the world.. apparently only 4% of the population attend Church regularly. However, despite the primacy of 'mind' there is a lot of searching by people who can select from a veritable smorgasboard of alternative beliefs.. be it astrology, tarot cards or reading the tea-leaves. Organised religion may be on the wane but people are driven to seek 'something' by the 'God spot' between their eyes. It's amazing how many people who, when placed in life-threatening situations, call to their 'God' for salvation.
Let's face it, you will find out BEFORE you marry, the religious beliefs of your intended and discuss how you wish the children to be raised. Don't you?
I have to admit that I don't believe in God, and most of my friends as well...but it seams that he or anybody else...didn't allow my country to die...the new day brought the new hope!!!!
Nas,
The only thing I study in Hawaii are the weather patterns and how the darn migrating whales have affected the fishing around here.
Seem to be most local fishermen concur that early in the whale season many fish move because of the predators who accompany or come to meet the whales and their young.
..."I am on vacation, therefore I indulge myself whenever, wherever, with whoever I please and as often I find it enjoyable" is more like it...:)
