Not a chance, I'm not religious and wouldn't especially want to be with someone that was.

I don't mind the Bible but I am dead against these types of places, only the other day a guy got chucked out because he was a known 'spiritualist'.

Is it unreasonable for me to flat out refuse to go?

What would you do if your partner/gf asked?

If they are a Pentecostal church, they were spot on to remove a spiritualist.

However, as to whether you should go. Well, only you can make that decision. Surely you aren't so weak minded with such little resolve you have to turn to us on something like this?

Tell your girlfriend that you're not gullible and to get with the 21st century and grow up.

you should work out a deal if it means that much to her... you have to go to church one month... she has to do something for you that she doesn't like...

On a serious note OP, I was in this same situation in a previous relationship. She also wanted me to start going to church with her, her situation was slightly different and her parents plus younger brothers were really into it.

I've been in this position before. I went to her church, basically just to see what she was exposing herself to every week. They all needed sending to the crazy home - we broke up.

Yup, I've been there as well as you two guys. I didn't get as far as going to church with her, but she wanted to get married in the 4th month that we were going out. Marriage is something that you think about after 4 years, not 4 months lol. So yeah, we broke up.

if you have kids with this woman you know she's going to go full bible on them

I'm on the more harsh side of atheist, and am aware people are more tolerant than me when it comes to religion, but I cannot see how I could be with someone who was religious, the whole notion is offensive on some levels and the lack of intelligence someone must possess to fall for that nonsense would leave me questioning massively their critical thinking skills and as such, would have the discussion to the point that it would end in a break up.

+1 it's our duty to end religion

1. No, not at all.

2a. I would say "Sorry, I respect your decisions and beliefs but this is definitely not for me. I hope you understand".

2b. I would say "Sorry m'dear, but i aint going to no crazy fest yo"

Agreed.

To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.

I'd submit that a person doesn't need to be religious to be lacking in intelligence.

Please show in that where I said one has to be religious to lack intelgence? What a bizarre and random thing to step in with.

Yeh good luck with that lol.

Its no ones duty to end religion simply put, it makes me laugh when people who rail against religion are just as bad/fervent in their belief that no religion should exist.

Meh each to their own, let the religious lot do their thing, you unbelievers do your thing...simples.

As for the OP??, be honest with her if you do not want to go, always the best way to be i find.
