"Date to Save" Website Lets Christians Flirt to Convert
I'm not sure if anyone knows about the (satire?) site Date to Save, which is targeted at "saving" the masses of non believer fellas with the help of beautiful believer women.
The plan is to recruit lovely ladies who have Christ in their lives and date them off with gents who reject and/or don't believe in a higher power. Today I witnessed a drastic change in one of my atheist guy friends who has been dating one of these girls. He has accepted Christ into his life and dropped a lot of his friends for her, and then she broke up with him.
I don't have a problem with the idea of god or higher powers, I'm not a believer but I don't try to convince anyone to change their beliefs.
I disagree with this method of gaining followers; be careful out there.
Do you think it's wrong to "flirt to convert"?

this is seriously pathetic. people who push their beliefs onto others have no life, and they seriously make me angry. my fiancee's family won't let me come to family gatherings anymore because they found out I don't believe in invisible men in the sky.
It's definitely not a good way to share your faith. People might just "convert" for their boyfriend/girlfriend, and fake it. The reason why we Christians share our faith is because
1) we're commanded to by Jesus, and
2) we believe Christianity is true, so we don't want anyone going to Hell.
But it's not about doing things, it's about having a personal relationship with God and loving Him more than anything or anyone else. Loving other people is the second most important thing, and this method isn't very loving...(Also, Christians shouldn't be dating around too much anyways, but think seriously about marriage before dating someone)
oh my gosh that has to be a joke.
Oh. Wow. Well, since I'm not a Christian I probably wouldn't be shopping around on that site anyhow, and that fact alone probably renders this a useless idea. Plus, isn't this seduction, at least in the slightest way? They are totally doing an ends justify the means bit here, and I dont' agree with that at all.
It's pure satire people. The main purpose of the site is to sell cheap merchandise with the sarcastic logos on them. Some people can get pretty creative in the effort to make a dollar.
um yes this is a satire.
LOL.
Enough said.
How mean! Flirt to convert?
This is freaking hilarious!
@cute_sushi@xanga - Um isn't the dating more important? You can't think of marriage until you've dated a person. I'm not saying go out and have sex with everyone you date, but dating is harmless. That just may be me though. But I know I had to kiss a few frogs first before finally saying "I want to marry this guy."
Wow. That's fucken ridiculous.
It's utterly bullshit.
1. You're not hot if you keep on boasting about yourself.
2. You're not going to help or "convert" anyone by dating em. You're just going to cause someone to get hurt and get emotionally attach when your plan fail.
3. You're not going to "save" anyone if you already stated that they are going to Hell on top of your website.
4. If your "missionary dates" are for the sole purpose of converting em, you're a lying bitch throughout the relationship just to get em to convert.
5. Didn't the Bible also state that you should not deceive one another (Leviticus 19:11) and that you should be humble (Ephesians 4:2)? Hmmm.
I disagree with all of this and no, Jesus did not save anyone through hooking up with cute heathen guys. Jeez!
@SexyGamerGirl@xanga - yeah, dating is important. I meant that Christians should think about marriage and not just date anyone because they want someone to date, but be intentional and wise about it. With my ex-boyfriend, I knew that we weren't going to get married, and even though we didn't do anything physical, I still feel a little sad when I think about him. (My boyfriend now is much better for me though :) ) It's good to date, but it's also important to protect your heart as well.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA.
@cute_sushi@xanga - Agreed. :)
That's against the Bible. We aren't supposed to date non-Christians...no matter what.
Really? Wow..
I can't stop laughing.
I have a few friends who are Christian, and one is always (subtlety) trying to convince me to convert. I'm going through a divorce, and she mentioned we should ask another (Christian) friend how to get a good guy. I said her husband was a self-proclaimed jerk and player before he became a Christian. She said we'll wait for guys to convert, then date them. I said that doesn't really work for me (not that I'm against dating a Christian, but I want kids, and I want to raise them Wiccan. I imagine most Christians wouldn't like that for their kids, so being married to a Christian man doesn't really work for me). She said that's ok, I can convert first, and then date Christian men. *sigh* Still not interested. I get kind of tired of telling her I'm very happy with my religion, and to please drop it.
@PseudoEuphoric@xanga - joke or not, shit like this is completely unacceptable. If people are actually using this, then it's a joke that has been taken too far.
Nobody has a given right to use emotional need and vulnerability to make people do or believe in something that they should not have to.
LMAO thats kinda funny.
please for the love of everything tell me this is a joke. this HAS to be a joke. i'm going with "its a joke" because i can't accept that this isn't a joke.
just..what the fuck.
Yes, it is, because first of all, it's using your sexuality (and yes, whether you want to admit it or not, flirting uses sexuality) for the purposes of getting something in return. That's called prostitution. Second of all, it just won't work. You can take them to church, you can make them act like they want to be a better person, but really, you're just spitting into the wind.
LOL.
This is kind of offensive. It's really commercial. It's...kind of...a good overall perspective of what it stands for, but...I don't know. This is really, really weird. Things like this make God look bad. It's a good idea, but it shouldn't be an online newscast. It should be personal because dating someone is personal. This makes me sad.@vicdaily@xanga - As a real Christian, I don't date non-Christians or Christians who say they're Christians because that's not in my personality. I don't date just because. I date the person... If they don't add up to my moral standards, I can't consciously date them. I'm not trying to be a prude, but it's like spitting in the wind. I've worked hard for God, for our relationship, and I find it unfathomable to throw it all away for a guy who won't even help me grow as a person... I don't know. What do you think?
WOW. I'm Christian (Catholic) and this is just stupid-makes me shake my head. It's like bribing people. It's saying it's ok to be lustful. Ugh! This is so pathetic. Yes, let's "save" people by flaunting ourselves... our "temples." What the heck are they thinking?! Way to promote temptation thus possible sinning. Not to sound "extreme" but if the only way you think you can convert someone is by "hooking up" with a "hot" Christian then they're not gonna last and neither will you. AHHH!! >:[
I personally know people who discovered the truth because they were interested in Christians ( that they ended up marrying), but it wasn't a case of intentionally flirting and flaunting just to get people to convert. =-P
