  1. As long as there is love, any obstacle can be overcome. Just tell her that you respect her views as a Christian, so she should respect your views, and neither of you should push one another to choose there set of beliefs.
     
  2. Pandoras box anyone?
     
  3. "Bow down before the one you serve, You're going to get what you deserve."

    Don't let people control you.
     
  4. As long as you respect eachother you will be fine.
    And I think that you should tell her what you're telling us. You need to establish an open understanding of your guy's stances on religion in this relationship. You need to make sure you fully understand what she expects and she fully understands what you expect.
    Thats all I can really say.
     

  5. Werd man. If religion tears you two apart it wasn't meant to be.
     
  6. It sounds like if this relationship eventually end up in marriage and children, she is really going to push to raise those kids christian. So it depends if you want your kids raised to a specific religion.
     
  7. :eek:she might not give it up...that my be a problem:eek:

    but in all seriousness, if she is a true christian they are supposed to be compassionate and understanding of different beliefs, its all in the new testament, and if she just wants you to be open to the idea isn't that kind of what an agnostic is....you can neither prove nor disprove, so religion is a possibility
     
  8. i don't see why it wouldn't work out, unless you are agressivley anti-christian...and even if you hated christians, you could always just keep that to yourself and try to be respectful to her...it would be worse if you were an atheist, since thats more directly opposed to religion in general.

    and if she leaves you just because of your religious beliefs, than she probably is a brainwashed nutjob anyways.
     
  9. No offense man but I believe I speak for some of us when I say we do have a choice, even if christianity were true I believe that fairy tale book states that god gave humans free will.
     
  10. Well, of course you have a choice to call yourself a Christian or not. You have the choice to believe in Christ/God or not. You have the choice as to whether or not you follow Jesus' teachings. You have the choice to call yourself whatever you want.

    But, as I said, if the stories are true, then you do not have a choice. God made you, Jesus is Lord and more importantly the idol, you carry out the will of God through the holy spirit. If you follow the golden rule, you are an upstanding member in the body of Christ; if you do evil, then your Lord is Satan... who of course has been given all his authority by God. There is no escaping it... this is Christian theology. You choose how you live, but not who you are or why.

    For what it's worth, God did not give man free will as a blessing. Satan (in the form of a snake,) told Eve to eat an apple off the tree of knowledge after God had told them not to eat any of the tree's fruit. God's first test. So, pretty much he did give us free will by telling us not to eat the fruit, then telling us to eat the fruit. The point is, we were supposed to listen to him, but we gave into our temptations.
     
  11. I've been in the opposite situation. The best advice I can give you is not to concede your beleifs but be open minded to her and her families. Don't create controversy and be gentle with what you say.
     
  12. Chaulk another one up for the evilness of religions..;)
     
  13. QFT. Don't let anyone brainwash any potential kids until they're intellectually capable of making the choice themselves.
     
  14. My dad is an atheist and his wife is christian. All depends on the person.

  15. I'm Muslim and most of the girls i was serious with are Christian. Islam and Christianity are actually similar so there is Common ground. The last one was an amazing girl, total package. Just her family is adamant about their religion and mine is about ours. It hurt to let go but we know it's for the best. It sucks that it has to be this way but her family would never accept me as mine wouldn't accept her.
     
  16. The New Testament says that "God is love." If you accept that, that Jesus loves you, and aren't too lazy to go to church then you that should be enough to keep your beloved.

    Don't hide your feelings from her and don't look at porn. Make love.

    God bless.
     
  17. Some think going to church is silly.

    I've thought that my whole life. I believe if one chooses to have a relationship with some higher being, then they need to have a personal relationship with whatever it is. Such as reading the Bible themselves. Organized religion has done a lot of harm.
