Calling all missionaries

My girlfriend is religious. I am not. This had not been a problem for two years and three months, but things finally came to a head. She decided that she cannot be in a relationship with me if I continue to be a non-believer because of what that means about how we use shared resources, ideas about the afterlife, and just because the Bible says not to marry non-believers.

When I say that I am a non-believer, I do not mean to say that I am an atheist. If I have a position, it is that my brain is too feeble to understand it all. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Atheists, Buddhists, and anyone else, I am open to your message and have a sense of urgency to learn more.

If you have a strong belief on religious or spiritual issues, I want to know; indeed, I am begging you to tell me. If you know of a particularly convincing piece of writing, for example, please direct me to it. If you have a religious opinion you are willing to share, or maybe just an anecdote about a couple with differing religious views and how they manage that, please let me know.

My email is justinwehr@gmail.com, or if you prefer to remain anonymous, you may do so by commenting on this post.

I am open to any story so long as it does not boil down to "you've got to feel it in your heart." (Unless you can convince me that is a valid argument.)

It would also take some extra effort to convince me that there is anything special about humans, or that God is human-like. Or that yours is the one true belief.
