Anyone know the bible?

Some of you folks are pathetic. If someone asked you to totally turn your back on your beliefs for a piece of @ss, would you do it? That's exactly what you're asking this individual to do. Very nice, folks... way to go.

religion  nothing but a moteavation tool to get large groups of people to work towards a comman goal that bares no fruit but only ever benefits the preacher or prophet pyramids are a prime exsample of this there is nothing to religion we should just ignore it and get on with our doomed exsistance

Hmm, that's one of the most ignorant statments I've ever read. You may say that you knew of a pastor that did that, but you can't use a blanket statment like that. My Sister and Brother-in-law, are starting an inner city church. My Sister AND Brother-in-law, both have PHD's. They could do alot of other things in life that may allow them to get more money, live in a better neibor hood ect. If you are a true follower of Christ, you put others ahead of your self.

I dont mean to sound harsh, or offend anyone, but if I didnt know any better I'd say that was blatent discrimination. In this day and age how anyone can believe this utter tosh is beyond me. I have a Christian friend, and I had a dicussion with him about falling in love with someone that is not Christian. He said he wouldnt be with them because they dont believe the same things as him. To me that seems stupid, does it matter if you dont believe in the same almighty power (if you even do), or if your going to the same place. While you alive why eliminate potential perfect matches from your life, after all life is too short, live it and dont judge others, respect them.

The problem is, you have to sit on the other side of the fence to understand it. When you have a fundamental belief that you take seriously (in this situation, Christianity) you're going to have issues with someone who is directly in opposition to it, no matter what the other persons's qualities are.

Now, depending upon how serious the guy is about his religion/faith, that'll determine how much it will bother him to be around/with someone who directly opposes it's beliefs.

Agree.

If you are a true Christian, you would want someone who shares the same belief, same faith and principals like you do, growing together in life spiritually, etc.

It's much deeper than just having the same belief and going to church every sunday. I wasn't a christian before (till about 2 years ago when I was 25) and used to have the same point of view with some of the guys here (non Christians).. and fully understand/respect your opinions.

After the "change", I can see much much more with a greater vision, so you can say :) and understand more, why the Bible "suggests" that we shouldn't marry a non Christian (if you are a Christian)

messing with witchcraft and the like welcomes demons in your life. you may say im dumb but seeing someone possessed furthermore solidifies your beliefs. being a christian you have certain morals and as a practiciing christian he made the right decision to not date the girl regardless of how pretty she might of been.

I think if you let a book which defines what you should and shouldnt believe rule your life then you are being manipulated and controlled in a such way that you dont realise you actually are. Surely you should make your own beliefs in life, based on what you think? not what a book (entirely by men I might add) written so long ago has decided. The way I see it devoting your life to a religion obviously has its benefits, you believe your going somewhere good after death, you respect others much more etc, but I also think it pulls the wool over your eyes somewhat.

Heres something interesting to read, I dont if you ever watched the show hes being quizzed about, but it was a valuable insight into how people in powerful positions (not just religious figures) can use techniques that can be learnt by anyone to influence others decisions.

That's a very Hollywood interpretation of Wicca. I know I joked about it earlier, mostly because I don't see how anybody can take this thread seriously seeing as it is not the OP's relationship but rather another relationship which he has little control over.

In a relationship of mixed religions something or someone usually has to give. If not now then when (and if) the relationship goes as far as the children stage. It's not really our, not is it the OP's decision to make though.

Hollywood interpretation or not, he's not kidding. There are alot of things we as humans don't comprehend because its hidden from us.

I should have said, it's more then just wicca. I know it's her choice to say yes or know, but she's made some major lifestyle changes for him, he doens't care at what cost to her, as long as he doesn't have a chance of damnation, etc. I mean, I just can't see his logic, surely give a little to get a little? It's somewhat painful to watch that he can't see she's unhappy...

And you're still 100% wrong. I don't care if its wicca and a supersize fries. He is standing firm by his beliefs, she is wishy washy in giving up hers. Who's to blame? If she didn't want to date him, she could have said no. I also think you are overdramatizing his stand. No one is going to hell for dating someone they 'shouldn't'.
