RELATIONSHIPS & RELIGION

I was out on a double date with a friend of mine. The guys were really cool. We were having a good time. There was great conversation about life, sports, politics, etc! Then the big religion debate surfaced! One of the guys stated that he believed in God but not Jesus! There was a very awkward silence for like 5 seconds. I was really doing a *blank stare* at this dude! Lol! I guess because I believe in Jesus and in the power in the blood and I believe he died for our sins! But don't get me wrong. We all have a right to believe in what we want to believe in. But my question is.....Could you really seriously date someone who does not share your same beliefs?????
Would the relationship even work? Should we even go so far as to question someones faith before we give them the number??? Ladies and Gentleman .....what are your thoughts????

Is Marriage EVERY Girls Dream ??

This topic was inspired by the latest episode of "Single Ladies" . This show comes on Monday nights @ 10 p.m. EST on Vh-1! If you havent checked it out.....then do so. They showcase a lot of  "single" topics that make for a good debate :*)
Anyway.....On to the question....Is marriage the ultimate goal in every girls relationship??? My girlfriends and I had a debate about this and it seems marriage wins. The majority ruled that what is the purpose of dating if you not going to get married. Well, one of the charaters on the show stated that "all men are not marraige material" (which is true and that goes for women as well).
So whats wrong with dating and enjoying someone without having to try to reach the "ultimate goal" with everyone you date. Mostly its based on how you feel and what you ultimately want in life. And if you want the happily ever after~ then you should never settle. But if you are ok with being in  a great relationship with someone who treats you like a queen and is faithful and everything you want in a man.....would you  demand he put a ring on it before you bail.......
I guess it just boils down to what it is YOU want out of the relationship. Never settle and always go after what you want! But dont look sideyed at the other chick who is confident and happy in her relationship (married or not) because maybe thats just Her prerogative.......
So what are YOUR thoughts??? Is Marriage your Dream or would you be happy with a beautiful relationship minus the ring????
