Yesterday we had another argument, I told her that gay people are born that way. And she said they have the devil inside of them.

If you both can't find a middle ground to respect each other's religion, then there is going to be (only) trouble.
Personally, i don't date anyone who doesn't at least stand by my religion. People have different levels of faith but they should be able to respect each other. This is very important in a relationship. So as i am a christian, i date christians. Maybe their level of faith is not the same as mine but at least we still have a common ground
So try to find a middle ground where you both can at least respect & tolerate each other...
P.S - not all christians thinks like your girlfriend... So i guess it is about her & not only her religion. People who are into extreme religions are seldom open to listen to your religion or even your own ideas... i agree with Scotty.

Not sure if that's an argument about religion at all--it just sounds like an argument!
I think any relationship can work, as long as both people are flexible about the issue and don't try to convert one another!

Well 1st of all I don't think a person is born Gay, I believe a person chooses the lifestyle, whether or not the person has the devil inside of them, well before we even start to draw any conclusions on that one, we must look at ok what did cause the person to be Gay.
For example when Mrs. Gingrich was interviewed about the fact that her son Newt is opposed to Homosexuality but her daughter Candace Gingrich is a Lesbian, one comment Candace made to her Mom was that "well you don't have to pay for the wedding." and the Mom was like "I'll be happy to pay for a wedding."
Things went to a standstill to a point where Newt's Mom knew that she was going to have to tell Newt that his Sister was a Lesbian before he could find out from the Press, as his Mom knew the Press was going to report it anyways, so she felt it was better he hear it from his own Family then hear it from the Press.
As far as different Religion relationships, well I suppose things can possibly work out if one is of different denominations within the same religion itself but things can be more difficult if one is of 2 completely different religions.

I think relationships can still work out even when the two people have different views on religion and other topics as long as you both accept the other person's opinon even when you don't agree. If someone has a hard time accepting a different outlook on things than their own, then I'm sure it could cause problems after awhile..

Yes they do work as long as you and the person you are with can come to a mutual agreement on accepting each others differences. Her saying that about gay people might not have to do with religious beliefs as much as they are personal beliefs or they could be a little of both. In order to get along with anyone you have to have acceptance on lots of levels and some commonalities.

Well it sounds like your girlfriend is extremely ignorant, but it really depends on the way the two people work together. I know a couple where one is Christian and the other is Jewish and they've been married for many years. One of the hardest things is figuring out which religion your children will be raised as... Think it through really well before getting too serious with her.

Well if either of you are gay you shouldn't let that discussion come between you. And yes different religion relationships work as long as you both respect each others different opinions

i dont think they are born like this.However it can be very hard to be with someone whom you have different thoughts about religion.Sounds like someone needs to find out which one is the right and true .Which would be in the bible.Any religion that doesnt date back to the time of Jesus might not be real.Pray and ask for Gods help.

Different religion relationships can work if each person wants them too. I would advise to just stay away from touchy subjects, or just show leniency towards each others beliefs.

Depends on how extreme the religions are. I'm Catholic and I had a childhood friend that was Southern Baptist. She believed I was going to hell for being Catholic...we stopped being friends.
SCOTTY- You hit the nail on the head with that answer!
