He's Protestant and I'm Roman Catholic.
He told me we were too different and that it was impossible to be together.
A week before Christmas, he finally told me the "real" reason why we could never be -- he said I was a temptation, and that in his religion you should avoid temptations.

What a doofus he is. No, it is not a valid reason. You are better off without him Jezebel sweetie. Find a "real" man, not some delusional who is afraid of your feminine whiles.

If you two were nearing the point in the relationship where marriage was being considered and neither of you was willing to compromise (or convert) then yes, it could be considered a valid reason. If you two weren't ready for marriage maybe it was because he felt you were a temptation. Think about it: would you give in to temptation if you knew it was wrong and wouldn't feel right if you continued doing what you were doing?

You are funny...
If each religion is tolerant then you have no problem (this is more about the individual than the religion). If either person thinks "My religion is the best, everyone else is wrong and is going to burn in aych ee double hockey sticks." then you have a problem.
This person will however be greatly limiting their dating pool, and shouldn't even BE dating outside of their faith.
But then why would be be with you in the first place if he feels that way? He using it as an excuse for an easy out.

Been through the same. Believe me! Even our parents were against. If he really loved you he wouldn't tell u such things. I know it's hard but it's better ending it now than later. Look what happened to me. We made as if religions didn't matter (at least i did) but when he got fed up, he used this excuse to dump me. Now he's off, flirting with other girls while i'm crying my head out. Show him you are not dependant to him. When a guy says something like that to you, you can be sure what to expect from it. He's playing you

Yes, I do feel that is a good reason to break it off early. If the question of it is causing problems this early imagine how long it would last if you got married and had children. Best to just go on unless one is willing to change.
Good luck to you, I hope you two find a way to love each other and stay together, but it has to be best to part on good terms.

If the two of you can't come to a decision about one religion or the other this will be a problem you will be arguing over for the rest of your lives! I think one of you is going to have to give in and choose to change to the other religion. I had an aunt and uncle that tried to make those exact religions work in their marriage-lets just say it never happened and after 10 years of arguing over it, they let it go and gave up on the marriage! Someone is going to have to give in!?

I think that if you are in a serious relationship religion is something to consider. If you are serious with the person diffrences in relgion may cause some problems. The key thing is if you two don't mind that you come from diffrent spritual backgrounds it can work just as long as you respect each others beliefs.

How old are you ? If you were married you would not be a temptation, but his lawfull wife. Many Protestants marry Roman Catholics. Sounds like a stupid excuse to me. Sounds like he's quite young or he wouldn't have said something so dopey

Jhon Lennon already answered your question through his song ,the great master piece " IMAGINE"
Imagine there is no religion in the world
the world will be more peaceful.
Christians say " love other people " But they cannot love each other . Isnt it funny?

From the Bible (KJV) he is right....... If you are a stumbling block for him, he needs to walk away........ If satan is tempting him about you, yes........ It will never work anyways.... To different.... I married a Baptist man, and I'm Pilgrim Holiness...... He wanted me to attend church with him (although I didn't believe his way), and we fought a lot about it..........A LOT ! People may say Im wrong and give thumbs down, but I lived it !! It wasn't fun !
