Me & my girl got into an arguement last night about our religions. I am Catholic & she is something like Christian Avangelic. I was upset because she was saying how her friend that is also catholic wanted to go confess and she didn't see why we did that. I told her it's just religion and faith...but she kept trying to tell me how they thought it was wrong to confess to a preist. I then answered her :"i respect your religion so please respect ours." which she replied "But i don't respect your religion." That really dissapointed me...i don't care what religion people are as long as they try not to force their religion on me. I myself don't practice the Catholic religion to the extent but i still believe..i was raised Catholic. Do you think our relationship can work? Can we live our lives together for the rest of our lives? What if we deciede to have kids..what can we do? Please..serious answers...no religion bashing, just opinions.

I think it depends on how seriously you both take your religious beliefs. It sounds like you are not so much a practicing Catholic. But I get that you are insulted by her narrow mindedness. You both need to sit down and be open about this. You must not sweep this under the rug and wait until it is too late. Explain to her that she does not have to believe what you do, but she must respect your faith, as I hope you respect hers. As far as children, this you also must discuss with her now. It does not sound as if she would be willing to bring your children into the Catholic church. Are you willing to have your kids raised Evangelical? These are important life decisions best made before a serious commitment. Don't waste any more time with each other if you can not even agree on the basics. Good Luck!

i am in a similar position with my boyfriend. I am Catholic and he is Lutheran. I was raised Catholic in school but i also was raised to respect others for their belief systems. If my boyfriend weren't understanding i don't see how it could work. If you were raised Catholic, as I have been, then it's a part of your life that you want respected and understood, not questioned and criticized.

No. The reason is simple. Religion sucks big time and sooner or later the matter will be with you like a ghost in the thin air.Same old and same old for ever.
