As soon as I saw the title I wondered if this was because of Sloths Rule's thread. Turns out, it is!

Now I think a relationship will flourish best if the two people have many of the same basic beliefs. religiously or otherwise. Different religions have different rules, and each one desires full commitment.

I remember a saying I read: "If God is your co-pilot, switch seats". I never followed this, as I feel I should be in charge of my own life. However, the thing is the Bible teaches you to let God rule you. Putting anything before God is a sin, as the first commandment has also been used to mean anything and everything you put before him. Not just other deities from other religions.

Someone who wants to fully commit themselves to christianity will put everything before God. Of course, this idea does beget extremists.

Now, if you have two fully committed religious people, they're going to think the other is going to go to the bad place. If they decide to reject the other, they may be trying to protect themselves. I don't see it as building up the ego, though.
