What if there is a God, but not the one we thought?

You state that as an axiom. Something that everyone will accept as true. I think this is an invalid assumption.
Just to point out that any conclusions you draw following this statement will not necessarily be universally accepted as true.

No, it really isn't.

I know people get offended by the implied comparison, but if I know fairy-tales are make-belief and fairies don't actually exist, and I don't see a logical reason for why I'd believe one but not the other. The fact that there are many more grown up people in the world that think God is real than there are that think fairies are real isn't a valid argument.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other what people believe. If believing in God helps them get through their day a bit better, if the thought that somewhere there's always someone watching out for you, the idea that the universe is not a cold and uncaring place helps them get through their day, then fine. Why take that away from them?
It becomes a different thing when religion becomes an opressive or negative influence on people's lives (which happens) or if one group of people's believes start to interfere with those of another group. On an individual level, everyone should be free to believe what they want though (which doesn't mean that their beliefs can't be debated or disagreed with).

I understand (or I think I do - I'm trying to imagine my emotional response to unjust and untrue statements about people I love, but for the most part I think I would actually just ignore those).
At the same time, it has to be possible to discuss that statement as well as arguments for and against. The freedom to openly believe should come with the freedom to openly not believe (or believe differently), as well as arguments for one or the other.

To clarify, it bugs me just as much when someone says as if it is a fact that God does exist. There's no factual proof.

So what I'm trying to put forward so each side can properly respect each others views is to use less underlying implications and state "I believe this" or "God doesn't exist in my opinion". I suppose I should say the same should go for clarification when it comes to talking about fairies, but as you also stated, there's not a lot of separation in that belief.

I couldn't agree more and it can be difficult. Going back to what I said earlier, if I were to say "May God bless you," it is definitely not meant to insult anyone, but I've seen it do just that. On the flip side, you may see it as completely illogical for a god to exist and therefore need no reason to state "imho" along with "there is no god", but it can have that same adverse effect as "May God bless you."

Thread count did balloon, last time I saw it was 2 pages, now its 6, look what I started lolll.

It's not 4/20 yet

Ask van houtte.

ss4410, it means he's making fun of you for being a virgin

Some of the dead were married men and women who may have believed in God and the Bible.

420 is something I found on the subject.

Take what the rest of these people tell you with a grain of salt. The original question was probably asked to the wrong group: When you are looking for advice, you probably want it from like-minded individuals who would share similar or beliefs. People on Allegro don't.

I remember that the original question was regarding WHEN to propose: earlier or later. I also recall that you didn't state that you wanted to know if you (or the other person if you were talking about someone else) should get married: you had already made that decision that you would.

Don't let Allegro tell you what to do with your marriage. Don't let them talk you out of marriage. Don't let them talk you into it.

I assume from your posts that you believe in God. In that case, while you can/should get advice from Mom & Dad, or your bishop/pastor/minister, make sure you pray and find out for yourself. Don't just take others' words on it. Get your own answer. Whatever you do, though, don't get advice from Allegro. They can barely piece together a working game. What makes you think they can piece together a working marriage?

Good point online cop, both points are valid Lenny,

For example if I'm a Christian and I believe in God and live my life accordingly, does it make sense to seek counsel from those that share a different world perspective. Kinda like an athiest would likely not go to a priest to ask him questions about God as the priest has a totally different world view.

The opposite is also true in many situations, like a simple example is politics. A republican should not only talk to his republican constituents to get feedback as to what to implement a new law in his/her district. The republican law maker should get feedback from both his republican and democratic constituents not just one side that only shares his/her views.

So I see both sides.

If I don't believe in God, why would I want to ask questions about him? It'd be like asking about how to square the circle. OTOH, if I was having marital troubles, I would listen to what the priest had to say.

Different world views are refreshing.
Hearing someone else say something you already thought up yourself gives a quick ego boost, but it gets old quick. I've had quite a few interesting conversations with deeply religious (yet open-minded) people.

I'm late to this thread so didn't bother reading most of it.
But as a married man, I recommend reading The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman together. Because you are in a new relationship, there is a lot of passion that will begin to fade (usually takes about 2 years or so). This is more or less when this book comes in, though I'd start getting "into the habit" of communicating your love to your future wife immediately.

Also, if you plan on having kids, I suggest reading "Tender Warrior" I can't recall the author. But its a very good read on what it takes to "be a man".
