You deserve a girlfriend you don't have to walk on eggshells around.
Really.
No matter what, it ain't worth it.
Well...I'll have a think about how to convey the issue, and then explain the nuances of the relationship while simultaneously not revealing TOO much in the Conversion Corner subforum.

That can cause some serious stress.
Welcome.

That's why it'll feel good to vent here. 
Thanks for the welcome!

If you prostitute your moral principles to be part of religious society, then you're half way to being a Christian, for they have none of the virtues I despise and all the vices I admire! He he.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Vent away. There are plenty of targets.
Just think of this as your personal Free Fire zone.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Catholicism for me was quite the hive of scum and villainy, but it's been about a year and a half since I've taken my first steps into a larger world.
