You'll probably win b/c those that are actually Christian (not by name only, I mean those that actually believe Jesus died for our sins and actually practice 70% of what they preach) know the answer is no b/c of 2 Corinthians 6:14

Why would a Christian want to? Why would a non-Christian want to? Their focuses in life are completely different.
1. Christian- focus is on pleasing God & serving Him.
2. Non-Christian- focus is not concerned with God.
That verse, "unequally yoked" may be an answer to the question...but I am not sure.

I would hate for you to lose your bet....
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14

I am not a Christian, but I would not advise it.
Marriage is hard enough, why make it harder by marring someone who has a significantly different belief system than you? Particularly if you strongly believe in it.
It also makes it that much harder if you have children, not to mention its not fair to take out your theological differences on them.
their is a reason why marrages where the couple have two different religious beliefs fail higher than average.

You know, just reading some of the people on this section ought to tell you that two people of opposing religious views should never marry. Not if you really believe what you believe. But no, a christian is specifically forbidden to marry a non christian.

Paul and Moses would consider it to be a sin, if that is what you are asking.
But I am not going to encourage alcoholism, so I'll leave off the magic words.

Hmmm. It depends on how you digest the term 'marriage'. If you believe marriage is from God, then there is a struggle. If they think that marriage is only something from mankind, then not so many issues.
Should they marry? It depends.

won't get that one here.
1 corinthians 7:13...if the believer be pleased to dwell with the unbeliever so be it....
marry who you want if they want to be with you but don't change to suit them. i'd marry a non christian woman and wouldn't need to feel compelled to 'convert' her. to each his own. freewill for all souls. good luck.
