ehh if she's as religious as you say she is, she probably wont even date at all, let alone someone who doesn't share her beliefs.

I am a Christian and I think you should definitely tell her the truth. And I know that if someone was pushing me to do things that go against my beliefs I would get out of the relationship straight away.

Depends, if she was the type to lecture me everytime I had glass of wine, or watched pornography, then no.

Oh man, you're such a douche. Paying people out about their religions.
Thinking religion is some sort of sacred cow that is the one thing you can't criticise about another person makes you a bigger douche. Way to follow the crowd, champion.

Political correctness is frowned upon on this forum.

Try castration. It shows real commitment.

Why? They do the same thing!

"I'm christian, therefore I MUST follow these values..."

And then you find out that they're stupid, cheating, lying sluts. So shut the fuck up now.

Uhhh...can't you? These are people who actively choose to base their lifestyle on a certain ideology with set tenets. I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable generalising about people who all voluntarily profess the same basis for their life, than I do about people who just happen to have a certain colour of skin, for example.

It doesn't make you a nice person when you're a jackass about someone's religion, but it shits how people gasp and sputter whenever some religion or other is criticised.

What I really want to say is, I don't mind what religion the girl is as long as it does not severely affect my lifestyle.
I'm fine with vegetarian food (because for some reason I am now more interested in vegetarian pizzas)

That's because they're really nice. And meat pizzas can quite easily be dodgy).

I am a Christian, and i go to church every week.... And I reckon people should be allowed to have their own beliefs and you shouldn't criticise them for what they believe in, and it's not fair to generalise them.
Mate i reckon you should go for it- she's just an ordinary girl. As you said, she may have strong principles and values, but she's just an ordinary girl under that.

What are beliefs for if not to be criticised?

Don't start with the strong principles and values bullshit. Whether it is intentional or not any time a religious person says something like that they are attacking the principles and values of everyone else, like they are somehow inferior just because they aren't based on religious beliefs. I would consider my principles and values stronger than most religious people and I am the most anti-religious person ever.

It depends where she stands... how seriously she takes the bible etc...

If she does take the Bible seriously, then she probably wouldn't go out with you, as Paul makes it clear that the two of you don't have the same interests at heart... and pretending would only make it worse for the both of you...she'll realise, and you'd probably just end up in many disagreements... but I do hope you find a nice girl that you can be in an honest partnership with... do you think you could be good friends with her?

Hillsong is a nice example...alot of teens are there primarily to socialize.]
never let the fact that someone goes to church every week fool you into believing they are a christian or that they take God seriously...
going to church alone means nothing.
