I know this was posted several months ago(!), but it was the second search result for “friendly atheist” on the Internet, so I clicked on it and read it. I tried not to be too irritated, but seriously. And does he have to drag up that whole “atheists are immoral” argument?! I mean, seriously, a two-year-old could see through that.

Like others have mentioned, Harvey is really in no place to be giving relationship advice. I’m in the same boat as aina. As a black woman, I find other black folks telling me (or assuming)what I MUST believe as an atheist (“you don’t have moral boundaries, you worship science, you hate Christians, you turned your back on God,” and other nonsense). This is truly repulsive for him to be so discriminatory. But this freethinking, enlightened mind won’t be reading his rubbish book anyways, so he can keep telling the little girls about finding a relationship. This woman knows what she wants and how to get it.

steve harvey is on his third wife. relationship expert? please. and further more, he is an example of how most blacks view atheism. i am a black atheist woman and i encounter this every day. blacks will support rapists, molesters, and murderers but if you are an atheist then, in the black community, you are beyond being saved. it disgusts me.

“Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” Psalms 137:9.

Moral barometer.

“Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” I Timothy 2:11-14

Moral barometer.

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” I Corinthians 14:34-35

Moral barometer.

Judges 19:24-25.

Moral barometer…

And so on and so on…

“If a man believes anything he reads in a book of myths written from the imagination of ignorant bigots from barbaric cultures thousands of years ago then you need to pack it up and go home ladies.”

Fixed.

Daniel makes a point. it works both ways. I don’t want to be with someone who’s ultra religious.

This is something that’s been an issue in relationships for years. Both spouses belonging to two different religions or having two sets of beliefs.

While I understand the outrage at Steve Harvey’s comments, as I and Daniel above me stated, it works both ways.

To be fair, one of the first things I want to know about a date is if she believes in God. Because, it is a problem if she does. I mean, for casual dating I guess it doesn’t matter, but if you’re talking about long term potential, it will get in the way of things.
