That'll work, I mean without putting too much thought into it, we all could have the idea that God is a giant man sitting on a throne watching Earth. While He's probably much more than that. I dunno, that just made me think.

But to the subject (we remember it don't we?) my friend ("Catholic" (it was kinda forced)) dated a (westernized) Muslim girl. They got along great, celebrating both of their holidays. They only broke up because she's a ho...

I don't believe God is human.

Wow... Can't believe this thread is still here this long! And on this forum to boot!

My question is: is this just one of those doors I just shouldn't open up or even knock on? Anyone have experience with this?

My opinionated answer: In reverse -

Yes, I have had some experience here as well as counseled others in this situation.

Because of the kind of forum this is, I will try to just voice my opinion, with no foundation of belief.

1stly, I am going to assume you are relatively serious about the relationship, now - yes, you should not only kow on that door, but get this conversation and discussion going as soon as possible in your relationship.

Sounds like neither one of you are very "serious" in your religious beliefs, and that can be good and bad. I am not going to get into the why's and wherefor's of that, but essentially, and believe me - it will come up in the relationship, especially if there are children involved.

Many "traditions" are religion-oriented as well. Holidays etc. Even somethings that you or her consider to be "minor" issues, will be exagerrated with time and as your relationship grows.

Yes, there are some extrememly major differences in both your religions, and again, since neither one of you seem to be very "devaut", they may not seem issues to you, but I will reiterate that they will become issues in your future, if you are serious about a relationship.

Personally - friendship should not be dismissed, though I would discourage a further/deeper relationship, unless a "common" religion can be found.

I always wanted to date this one chick shes hindu or something. And her father is a big fundamentalist. So if she dates outside of her relegion then shes dissowned and her benz, and college tuition is taken away....that=not worth it.
