Today, I had a meeting with a potential roommate to rent a 2/2 space and it was going well. We laughed, joked, and seemed to get along and want the same things. At the end of the conversation, however, he said he needed to "pray" about his decision to room with an atheist. This probably won't work out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my roommate that I was an atheist and she laughed. I left and returned to find her and her prayer group praying for my soul. She told me to accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. I said no. Then she told me to find somewhere else to live. FML
Today, I found out that my roommate is starting a religion in which he doesn't believe in humanly things, such as paying rent. FML
Today, I had a fancy dinner date with a really hot guy. Near the end of our meal, he asked if I wanted to go back to his place. As soon as we walked in the door, he started a religious debate with his roommate. It's been 45 minutes and it's still going. FML
Today, after months of dating, I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to take things to the next level. He told me that he couldn't have sex with me because of his religious beliefs. I would've been fine with this if it weren't for the fact that I know he and his family are all atheists. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Today, my roommate woke me up during afternoon nap to tell me that I need to move out. His reason: "Our political differences will likely escalate to violence." FML
Today, my boyfriend finally found a roommate after hopelessly looking for months. I was really anxious to meet the guy because I would most likely be spending a good amount of time with him. Who did my boyfriend end up picking as his new roommate? My ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, my new roommate, who seemed to get along with me just fine up until now, has requested to switch to a different room. Apparently, I was making racist comments in my sleep. FML
Today, I was talking to people around school to make new friends. I met an amazing guy and we really hit it off. He was fantastic in every way, but decided to end our conversation with, "We shall meet in the afterlife!" I don't know if I should be scared or not. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML

So what? Unless he tries to push his religion on you, then I don't see much of a problem with that.

And he'll probably pay rent with notes that say "In God We Trust." Pushy bastard!

That shouldn't effect your living situation that much (given he agrees to let you live there). Not like you need permission to eat or something.

Why not? So the dude needs to pray. If he comes back and tells you his god refuses to let him live with infidel scum then yeah, that's probably not gonna work. But otherwise I don't see much harm.

dude unless you haven't realised, Muslims aren't as bad as everyone thinks, they're actually just like you(except they know what manners are), and this is coming from someone who lives and works with them. Don't stereotype a culture you don't even know a lot about.

If he decides that it's ok to room with you, maybe you could ask him not to try to convert you. If he agrees, then why not?

Assuming he was polite about it, I assume you'd be the difficult roommate, seeing as you don't respect his beliefs.

<p>Don't do it! My first roommate in college unpacked one pair of socks, one pair of underwear, one pair of jeans and six bibles. On night two, I was awakened at 11 o'clock in the evening with 12 people in our dorm room (4 of them sitting on my bed) having a grand old prayer meeting. I tried to have an intelligent conversation with him . . . . he moved out the next day. He changed rooms 6 times in the first two weeks. Never saw him again.</p>

Maybe he just wanted you to get on your knees. That might be even worse than a religious fanatic.

homophobes like you are even worse.

Most people aren't like that.

If anything that's a good sign, he's less likely to steal if he's extremely religious (I'd assume)

<p>Actually, extremely religious people are capable of doing very immoral things, just like anyone else. In fact, they sometimes do awful things in the name of that religion. </p>
