Would you evaluate on this? One of my points was that you can basically have both, you don't have to choose. You can have a happy relationship on earth and then have your eternity of love when you die, since marriage is thing for the living only.

Anyways, getting to the point, I very strongly disagree with many aspects of Christianity. And that would prevent me from ever falling in love with a strong Christian woman. Not because I'm some sort of shallow fool who would reject someone I love based on that, but because it would prevent me from ever falling in love in the first place.

I can see myself in the same situation. I know for a fact that I'd have a very hard time falling in love with an unintelligent person, for example. But this is more of a subconscious thing, and far from "I love you but I can't be with you because you don't believe what I do"
Aralith, I like that story and that's exactly how it should be. Well... more or less, one might argue, but whatever. Oh and:
