Heh, it not like I have a fetish for religious girls. :P

I'm thoroughly attracted to women who have self-respect and morals. Evidentally, it seems that only females of faith have these kind of traits? Not that I'm saying an atheist can't be a kind and loving person. It just seems to go against this stereotype. :\

It seems to me like you do like what religious girls have, matey. Maybe it's time you reevaluate your beliefs?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would hesitate to characterize this as wanting to save the other from hell, although this does apply to a select few of the pious!

There's a scriptural passage often quoted to justify what Guardian experienced. Lynch me if you must, but I find that it does make a fair bit of sense! I quote the passage from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 6.

14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
17"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."

Now, in defense of Paul, nowhere does he say "Thou shalt not marry a non-Christian", and there is some debate whether the passage refers to marriage or other unequal partnerships or undertaking!

However, it is far easier to break from such a pairing, especially if said girl has other prospects. Why? As Reaver pointed out, there will be some problems with children down the line. And even though Guardian might turn out to be the liberal type, the differing religious beliefs will surely create marital conflict down the line.

Love conquers all and all that, but in all practicality, if you aren't going to budge from your position, then it is possible that said female feels you don't 'love her enough'.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
