3) Be honest and tell her that this could be a deal breaker, or
4) ... you know what to do .... sigh... I'm running out of ideas

You should probably cool off a bit before doing anything rash, though, which is easier said than done, i know. Religion and politics, you know... like I was telling you, we have different religions in the family and also different political beliefs, but when we all go to my father's house, we all pretend and follow his. He's not an idiot, he's figured it out, but if, for example,we all together at the table, we just follow the leader. Makes life easier. I follow that principle pretty much everywhere I go. If people say Grace before dinner, then I'll bend my head too. If they don't, then I don't. At home by myself, I don't.

You know, maybe it's just a phase. I remember once, I was very much into exercising and stuff and I couldn't shut up about it and tried to get everybody else to join a gym. Then it passed.

???

Hope that helps.

Must be pretty hot in Sacramento today, uh? It was 92 in San Francisco yesterday, which is record high for fog city.


Edit:

HOLLY COW, in the time it took me to respond to your post, 15 more posts appeared!!! OK, I was responding to Kaotic's and his nervous breakdown.
Your optimism is admirable but I think the writing is on the wall for this one and kaotic is just really seeking consensus on what is already a foregone conclusion.

Some people can get along despite religious differences, but most cannot. Based upon his description of his girlfriend she doesn't sound like the type to compromise or be tolerant of beliefs other than her own. She's going to end up very lonely unless she finds a fellow believer with whom to share her religious enthusiasm. That is until she decides to convert to something else...

Best to let this one go and find another.

Yeah, they were looking into various religions before deciding to stick to SDA, so why wouldn't I think they will switch again.

If I let this one go, I'm not going to find another one in a while. Spend some money on my car instead.

I agree with you. Just trying to keep some options open.
I sure would hate it if they broke up becuase of stuff we said in the forum and not because they reached that conclusion themselves.

Personally I couldn't live with someone who makes me follow rituals or harps on all the time to make me "see the light" I think I'd be out the door pretty fast. Life is too short.

hahaha, that's what I told her, but she just thinks that I'm taking the easy way out. I said, "Great, that's what you believe."
