Well, you don't always have to look your partner in the eye......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"been drilled" is the subtle way of saying "been indoctrinated".

Talk to her dude. If it's a serious relationship then you need to talk these things through, else it could lead to BIG problems in the future. Maybe start small, throw in the odd comment here and there to see if it will initiate a conversation. You need to let her know that you mean to talk about the subject seriously, for the sake of your relationship. She should hopefully appreciate you for that.

Now I met my current Girlfriend a while ago, and while I always knew she was religious, I didn't realize quite how strong her convictions were - she comes from a very traditional family and church - no homosexuals - no sex before marriage or divorce - no alcohol - the whole shebang really. But whenever I ask her about these beliefs, and why she believes as she does she states that 'it's because it's been drilled into her for such a long time'. Now I don't know if this is because she is unwilling to talk about her beliefs, or she's embarrassed or what it is. I'm not trying to convert her to atheism, I simply want to understand why she continues to believe these things if it really is because they've been 'drilled into her'. I love her dearly but it's getting harder and harder to put aside said beliefs and I really don't know what to do anymore. any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated!
And? I think that she's been raised in a quite virtuous way. I'm assuming that she also adheres to the way she was raised.

Hello There, heres a little help from another christian.
ive broken your issues down into two topics, biblical reason and common sense reason (since your aren't a christian)
Homosexuality is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reason: Repeated over and over again in both testaments. The bible calls homosexuality an "abomination"
Common sense reason: 1. The pervasive act of homosexuality is a stepping stone to much worse sexual acts.
2. Homosexuality prevents pro-creation
3. Homosexuality highly increases chances of catching a disease
Drinking is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reason: Not much. All of the major biblical figures consumed alcohol. Drunkenness and addiction is said to be wrong, but not alcohol itself.
Common sense reason: Drinking can easily elevate into an addiction, an addiction that can destroy your relationship and bank account.
Divorce is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reason: When you make the covenant of marriage before god, you accept responsibility for your wife. You can't quite on a responsibility. (It should be noted that divorce is excused in the bible under certain conditions)
Common sense reason: Divorces are messy, unpleasant affairs. The psychological affects it can have on children is devastating. Ultimately, it is usually easier to just tough it out through a rough patch.
Premarital sex is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reasoning: God says to remain pure of heart, mind, and soul. The bible says that sex is a beautiful act that should be saved for someone you've made a devotion to.
Common sense: I dont need to tell you how many lives have been destroyed by an unwanted pregnancy, or STDs. This can be many times more destructive in youth years. Innocence should be cherished. Would you want your children having sex with other children? Sex always makes relationships more complicated.
And there you have it; a few reasons as to why your girlfriend believes what she does. If you would like more, or would like me to elaborate, please ask.

If she is anywhere near as dumb as the fuckwit above, dump her and never look back.

Why is it that noone even attempts to refute my claims?
And there is one extra reason why I don't want to be an atheist; they seem to be awfully insulting for no reason, and when challenged to test logic refuse to respond. I refuse to sacrifice my common sense.

I don't see any thing here to refute, mister.
Someone should slip their finger in this guy's butt to calm him down... I hear that works with dogs.
