well, lets look at it this way,

for as long as you are together, she is going to despise that aspect of you. How, exactly, does it feel to know that the person you are interested in DESPISES a very integral part of your life. You note that you really like her and want to be with her, and i'll tell you from experience that 1) its not going to work between you two and 2) she's not "the one" for you, so you shouldn't mourn too much about it.

the best thing you can do for this person is to back away, take some space and pray for her. find yourself a good person whom you can love and can truly love you in return.

It was wise advice when it was first written, and it is still wise advice today ...

"Do not be joined together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and i will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate," says the Lord." (2 Corinthians 6:14-17)

You need to make it clear with her that she needs to, at the very least, have respect for your beliefs, and to not belittle you for following a religion. Explain to her that you can't be in a committed relationship with someone who can't respect an important part of your life, and that if she can't do that then maybe you should just be friends.

dick,

I don't know how old she is, but I've run into many youngsters, (believe it or not I was one myself at one time) But anyway, many kids tatoo and say things for shock value and attention. Very little investigation or true knowlege brings them to their point of view. I'm not making a blanket statement about all young people. But when you put a "sign" on yourself (a tatoo) you are asking to be noticed.---to be discussed, to be called out--- to open a door etc.

Who knows, maybe you could have a good influence on her. If you are strong in your own faith, I don't think she could drag you away. But you might be able to at least temper some of her feelings.
