Methos, just think about this for a second. You get dressed up, she gets dressed up, you spend an hour sitting beside her on a nice bench, afterwards you take her out for breakfast. Then you enjoy a nice day together. Doesn’t sound too bad so far, right… well there is one more thing… That hour was in church with her, just like Skeptico does for his girlfriend! Have a good week Methos… ---

I have no prob with that Mooncalf. I do lots of things with her, go out for coffee, play sports, etc. I just think that both of us have realized that neither one of us would change anytime soon. She has her beliefs, I have mine. For the time being we are pretty much set by them unless something happens that would change our minds 😃 a good week?? where you goin??? ---

But alas, I was 23 and not raised in a Jesuit, nor Christian home. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/religion/195549.md?page=2)
