The Heart Has Its Reasons...

"Le coeur a ses raisons que le raison ne connaît point..." - Pascal
(The heart has its reasons, which Reason does not know...)


I've decided repurpose this blog and write about my journey into a relationship between a believer and myself, a nonbeliever, in hopes that belief (or lack thereof) can be one of those differences to be set aside.

Belief is important for the believer and irrelevant (at best) to those of no faith. Some atheists, abhor religion to such a strong degree that they find it intolerable and disassociate from believers and theologians altogether.  Religion, for me, is a non-issue. It's simply something that is nonexistent in my life. Spiritual thoughts never come to mind and are unknown in my daily life. I have no feelings or thoughts about the extramundane and no sense of experience with the likes.

I am certain this journey will not be without it's ups and downs...bumps and bruises, though we've vowed to not let it come between us. My question is...Is that possible?  It is possible to maintain a relationship between two people who could never possibly understand the other's spiritual/nonspiritual existence?  Will writing about it be of any use to others who are in the same situation? Or is this just a place to come and share those thoughts with complete and utter strangers?

More to come...
