So i met this chick online, started of talking with a bang, really got along extremely well (yes we met), we talked nights away about everything and anything, in all honestly, a perfect match.

BUT

Then the topic of religion came up, and booth...bang....everything is messed up.
Although we get along extremely well, she cannot see a future for us because i don’t believe in the heavenly father and savior (bla bla bla), and a relationship is doomed to fail if both do not believe...., so or i start believing, or that’s the end of it.

What a load of ****, i mean honestly, what does it matter if I’m a atheist, a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or a Hindus?, does it make someone a beter person?, If I’m a Christian will that automatically make me this glorious human being, and non believers, well we are categorized as the scum of the earth.... how can Christians have this attitude, if someone has a kind heart, and you get along like Bonny and Clyde, why must something stupid like religion mess it...., if you believe in “your” God, i honestly do not have a problem with that, go to church, read your bible, i won’t get in the way or complain, why must i be judged for not believing..... do other religions have this same attitude towards people not believing in their God?

Its common in most religions. I often hear about people having to convert to Judaism to marry someone or convert to x religion because their families/churches want it to be that way.

Her request is logical...
If you married and had kids, what direction were you eventually going to steer them in?
Rather than fight, is better when both parents believe in the same thing.

Silly line of thought.

Keep the kids away from it until they're old enough to make up their own mind. Why should children be raised to follow their parents belief?

Thats exactly what i told her. If we where ever to have kids (which in all honesty is jumping the gun), why must i force them into a believe or religion, let them make up their own mind.

Not the right person for you.

Or perhaps she is not at the right place in her life. The main thing is that she believes that this is a requirement for a relationship, while this is in her head it wont work.

I agree.
Long term it will cause conflicts, especially if kids are involved.
Christianity dictates a certain set of moral codes and she is looking for someone who will follow those, and will bring up children in that way too

Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on these moral codes.
