So then...What if YOU said..."Well, I can't be with you, unless you stop believing in God"?....That's just as lame as telling someone you can't be with them if they DON'T believe in God...A god...A goddess...Many gods...No god....whatever...
We all have our own reasons for what we do or do not believe in...What the hell is wrong with THAT?...You cannot FORCE someone to believe something that they don't...and why would anyone wan't to try?
You CAN influence a person to believe something IF you show them PROOF that what they believe in is wrong, and present them with FACTS to show that your belief is correct...
For example:
Little girl: I saw the Easter Bunny yesterday
Teenaged big sister: No you didn't
Little girl: Yes I did...He was at the mall
Teenaged big sister: No, that was a guy in a costume
Little girl: NO!...It was the Easter Bunny!
Teenaged big sister: Rabbits don't walk on two legs, they can't carry baskets, and they don't grow 5 feet tall
Little Girl: So? The Easter Bunny is different...He's MAGIC...And I will always believe in him
Next day...At the mall...
Teenaged big sister: *removes Easter Bunny's head*...See?
Little girl: *looks at dude with little dude head on big bunny body*...Oh...There is no Easter Bunny
Unfortunately...It isn't that easy with religion...Just TRY pulling the pope's head off...heh....I know, the pope isn't considered any kinda deity or anything...But, it was still a funny thought :D
Since there really is NO proof that there is or is not a god, goddess, gods, whatever...We form our OWN beliefs based pretty much on our own feelings, experiences and interpretations...Like I said, very PERSONAL....Definitely NOT something someone else should try to influence us to change...Cuz, I believe that's called...umm...uhhh...what was that again?...hmm...Oh Yeah...
BRAINWASHING
Does she think she should decide what kinda music you should listen to, what kinda foods you SHOULD like to eat, what color underwear you should wear...etcetera?:rolleyes:
I mean seriously...At what point in ANY relationship, is it okay or even necessary to tell your partner how to THINK and how to FEEL?
