Question by Melissa L: What Do You Think About Non-Christians Attending Christian Singles Events?
Last night our parish held a Christian Singles party and I began a conversation with a guy.
I asked him what parish he’s from and he said “Oh, I’m not Catholic I’m here to pick up girls”
I hear about this a lot that people attend these thinking they will get “it easy”.
I know these events claim to be Open To Everyone but do non-Christians belong at these things?

Why not?
If you’re weeding people out due to their religion, WHO IS THE DISCRIMINATOR?
What do you think? Answer below!
If you only had any idea how many times I;ve scored by going to these.
Way to shut everyone out. Why don’t you Christians just create your own damn country if you hate everyone else so much?
Are most christians there to “get some”… isn’t it against the christian faith to have premarital sex.. so unless i’m wrong he was stupid for trying to find a hookup at an event like that either way.
Also, at an event for christian singles, christians are going to it expecting to find other christians looking for the same thing they are.. so isn’t him being there like a married guy being there… either way he is there against the guidelines for all people that should be there….
if that made any sense.
See it is an opportunity to share your faith.
I know what you are saying, since you are Catholic, at a Catholic singles get-together, the assumption would be that all there are Catholic. I don’t think there is any way to make it closed to Catholics only though. It’s a good practice to find out if he is Catholic right away, if not I’d start sharing my faith with him.
What do I think?
I think the non-xtians could do better for themselves.
But sometimes, when people are desperate for companionship and/or sex, they go to ridiculous lengths to get it.
Because, despite all of the religious dogma that tries to paint sex as “evil,” it IS a basic human need.

Well i think that’s stupid.. (Sorry but stupid is in the bible)
If he’s just there for girls then he is so desperate that he will do anything.
Even go against God to just get maybe not even one girl.
I don’t see why a person would want to go to a Christian meeting if they’re not Christian. If someone is looking to pick up girls, try a bar… a church sure isn’t the best place to find someone for a one-night-stand.
Once you shut out the obvious non christians tel me where does it ends? Are catholics Christians? Are Mormons Christians? Are Jehova Witnesses Christians.
If you keep on saying “You are not christian” long enough you are very alone.
Let this be a lesson 🙂
I think he would have been a lot more likely to score if he’d gone to the AGM of the National Skeptics Association, actually.
But I thought that acceptance was a basic Christian value…so shouldn’t you accept anyone who wishes to socialise with you…or can you only talk to Catholics?
