TO ANY MODERATOR: i have decided that the debate is starting to become stale and i've gained everything i could from talking with you all. i'd like to thank you all (except alabaster) for giving me a better understanding of what my girl is going through. your insight is greatly appreciated. i'd...

you're making the mistake of assuming your religion is correct. as i asked before, if you have some kind of demonstrable evidence (not a bible quote, that doesn't prove anything to a non-christian) that Jesus is somehow embodied in someone then i'd like to see it. I am not being led by...

but i don't think either of you necessarily need to deviate from your views in order to make it work. if you are accepting enough you will both be able to do it. the idea that one has to change in some measure for the other is incorrect. it may happen, but it doesn't have to happen. the only...

i'll agree not to deviate i just want to quickly reply: i am sure that some victims of rape could have the child and have that child result in a wonderful person, but i think the vast majority could not :( if your statistic is right then yes it sucks, but it's still inhumane to throw all...

but you can't say for sure that it will. personal experience doesn't equal everyone else's experience. suppositions and predictions don't result in the future. as i said before i have found many happy atheist/christian marriages and both parties stand to learn a lot from it. as difficult as it...

hey there jason :) thanks for chipping in. i probably wouldn't pay a tithe to the church but if she feels obliged to i won't stop her. she's probably gonna be earning more than me as a lawyer than i would as a VFX artist anyways! ;) a good example would be true blood, well if it were actually...

Re: For the girlfriend: i presume you're talking about me being rebellious? if so then you don't understand atheism. and no thats not the reason there's a problem -.- and i take discrimination very seriously, God is discriminatory and therefore, should he exist, we have a disagreement...

Re: For the girlfriend: yes we know about these, it's the whole reason there's a problem o.O also what bible is this from? it looks very different from the others i've seen. too... new english. *EDIT also i find it interesting that these passages try to indicate that atheists are evil...

yes and i think she knows that, i know that she was hoping to be able to convert me to christianity in some way during our relationship. she knew that i was an atheist long before we fell for each other and maybe it was a failing on my part that i didn't let her know just how strict of an...

sorry i only saw that after posting the last one. warning heeded :)

hey again thelords :) you're right that i don't want to inadvertently hurt her while trying to help her and i've already told her that i won't keep trying to reason it to being ok. i know this is something that she needs to come to terms with herself and i can merely be as supportive as i can...

hi there handy :) thank you for the post. as you may have gathered from my previous post to igor (who i agree is well read) that there is no possibility of me converting to a christian. as much as you may have seen it happen in other people, i cannot be one of them. someone asking me to...

(sorry to cut the quote short the message wouldn't post from being too long) Hey Igor :) thanks again for the reply, i do appreciate the insight. i'm aware of the jealousy of God and the (in)justices of particularly the old testament, in my opinion this is another one that can be added to...

you're right that it's not a long term solution but it seems that she is still willing to marry me, we both believe we can find a way through this and that there is some recourse.

fair enough i think i'll concede to that. attempting to find loopholes and fiddling verses isn't the way to go about it. the bigger picture is still pretty clear, and most likely clear to her. even though to me the rule makes no sense at all as it ultimately leads to a more intolerant world...
