What's your girlfriend's religion?

Baha'i Faith. Ever heard of it?

And I meant useless as an actual descriptor of one's morality- you can definitely use it as a metaphor in the same way "spirit" can be used, but other than that I don't see its effectiveness.

I don't see a reason why one has to be a spiritual person to be moral. Yeah I've heard of it, there's one baha'i on the forum, but I still haven't searched about it
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
