My girlfriend is a Santerian. She says it's the "harmless version" of it (practiclay Agnostic) and I'm a Christian. I know that either I'll pull her or she'll pull me. There hasnet been an argument over this yet, but I sense spiritual activity.....as the suspence grows

Churches in the West are becoming dens of thieves,
money changers, sellers of religious trinkets and
worldly music. Christ said that you have turned my
House of Prayer into a place of merchandise and
corruption such as the world has never seen.
Repent! Repent!

take it up with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Are you only Christian by title or by faith? It seems you question you own faith if you believe she can pull you away. You're saying you may choose her over God.
Being Christian isn't membership in a club. It's a way of life. In good faith, you cannot have a successful relationship with her unless she can also become a Christian. As a Christian, you are expected to have a Christian family life. As a Christian, the choice and path should be clear.
I'm not going to say dump her as a g/f, because you have been presented with an opportunity to help her find another life. Maybe there's a purpose behind the two of you meeting.

It is not an agnostic belief at all... It also is not witchcraft. Santeria comes from Nigeria. They believe in a supreme, peaceful god, Olorun. There also isn't a devil or other supernatural source of evil in this religion.
And I think it's very unfair for some people to assume that all other religions are dangerous or story telling when there's just as likely of a chance that yours is. It's sad to see people fight over such a silly thing such as forcing other people to believe the same things they do (or believe they should).
I'd say of any of the comments in here worth anything though would have to be Myr's comment and the comment by the person asking if you love her. As long as you love her it should not matter and as long as she loves you it should not matter. The only confuision that might arise from a couple sharing different religious belives is things such as how children might be raised or how certain social events, such as religious marriage ceremonies, should be held.

Prayer, prayer and more prayer. If it begins to feel as though you are being pulled into something you disagree with on a fundamental level it may be best to leave the relationship. Certainly come to an understanding before considering marriage, differing beliefs in religion can haunt a marriage forever.
God Bless, and best wishes for a resolution that fits you both.

ok, question? do you love her? and she you? are you really so week-willed in your own faith to have another shake your tree, santerian or santaria is Voodon type religion I beleave. and what ever make her what she is is what she is. you can change that, only she can. If you don't like it then tell her simple as that, and if it really bothers you brake off the relationship. you have choices. that is what the Goddess and God gave us was choice. and will and ressponablity to our own actions.....
I would suggest you try and understand what she is in before flipping out with all the christain dogma and fear brain washing...
think about your feelings and hers and relationship....

Why should you both believe or think? As long as you get along with, the spiritual side is for each one to cultivate for him/ herself! If we place such impositions, we go against our thinking/ faiths!
Even, I think that the combination will be great, due to the conversations that will arise! Of course, each one should respect each others position and way of thinking/ believing!
As a Christian, you have read in the Bible that Jesus said "whoever wants come to me"! Why should we, inferior to Jesus, as accepted by us, should force someone towards Jesus or whatever?
Where is Freedom of religion, thinking, talk, ...?
You have placed this question, which mean you respect your gf stand! I wish she also respects yours! Then great! You are both fine! She is free! You follow what you have been thought!

I got a simular problem, but you need to adress it before you get futher invloved. Salomon was a good exaple of what can happen if you done talk it out. And pray. God will not let you be pulled away. But leaving it in His hands also can mean things will go differend then you want them too. Thats faith to man .... gl :)

If you haven't had a problem, then why are you looking for one? Until it comes to a standoff, I would just enjoy what I had. I know Christian/Pagan couples that make it work just fine and even go to each others gigs. Don't buy trouble; it costs too much.

Everyone is responsible for their own spiritual path, based on their experience . Belief systems develop as we learn about life. People can differ without putting the responsibility on another for what each person believes for themselves.

unbelievers will only do one thing....tear your faith down. Every unbeliever feels the same thing about a Christian. They feel a "presence", they can't explain. They are very uncomfortable around this "presence". They're only way to handle it, is to be sure YOU don't have it anymore.
I would seek a NEW friendship.
Good Luck.

since when as being an agnostic harmed anyone??
does she even know what an agnostic is?? since an agnostic can be considered the harmless aithiest.
and if she actually turns you then you prolly had really weak faith to begin with.
