If you're a church-goer, cover your eyes now.
A man 'of zero faith' has shared a rather blasphemous confession, having attended church time and time again but not for the reason you may expect. On the face of it, this irreligious man may seem like the perfect Christian.
Not only does he attend service, but claims to study the Bible too - which isn't exactly a short read either, exceeding 1,200 pages in most versions. But the man admits it's all just a ruse, while he attempts to make a 'wonderful woman' fall in love with him.
"I’m a man of zero faith going to church and reading the Bible because of a crush on a wonderful Christian woman," he wrote, taking to Reddit anonymously. "I don’t give a s*** about Jesus. I’m so stupid."
While you may assume this character had a grand plan to smoothly unveil the truth once things got moving, this wasn't the case at all. Instead, he is completely 'freaking out' while indecisive about where to draw the line.

"I think what’s stupid is I’m starting to realise I wouldn’t probably be very invested in all this in general if it wasn’t for my feelings for this woman," he explained. "Also, I think I fear that I’ll scare her off if I let her understand this, although I’m open about the total absence of faith.
"I feel I have to prove first that I’m able to respect her beliefs and that I’m willing to learn about her religion before I make any move. I mean I know how to take it slow but this is a somewhat different situation than I’ve faced before in life."
Unsurprisingly, the nameless post was quick to rack up quite the reaction online, with various users confused about what he was hoping to gain from this.
One person wrote: "I don’t know man. You better think long and hard on the implications, values, and conflicts you may run into down the road when her actual faith conflicts with your apathy. Pregnancies, parenting, expectations, etc."
Another added: "Speaking from experience, not having the same attitude toward faith doesn't usually go too well. Attitude, not the faith itself. So if you're an atheist who doesn't mind religious people and she's a Christian who doesn't hate atheists, then it's fine."
To this, the author soon responded: "You made me realise I may want to figure out more about her attitudes towards being very close to “Godless” people. She seems fine with having non Christian friends but I have to find a way to really understand if she could even imagine living with someone who doesn’t share her spiritual beliefs."
