My gf Christian and myself Buddhist/free thinker. If religion not involved, we love each other very much. But everytime we talk about it, it always ends up very sour, sometimes resulting in possible break-ups.

Listen to me and believe that not all Christians the same loh. She did not force me to believe in God or go to church. Whatever questions I have, she will just be patient enough to listen and answer them. If we agree, good thing. If we don't, argument again.

Now I nearly have all my questions answered except this one "Why do bad things happen to good people?" I been dealt a big blow in life and it nearly took away my life. But I am not a bad person, I do not smoke, drink, stray or do any other bad stuff. Then now the argument became so serious, that despite our love for each other, a break seems inevitable. She will not accept relationship of different religion. She had only started because I was open-minded to it.

Sigh...she is really a very nice girl. One that is not materialistic, understanding and patient. Now because of something out of this world, I gg to lose her. Is this right?

Anybody got this problem before? How you solve?


Religion and Love... Can they actually co-exist?

Actually, in CloUdiSm, it doesn't really matter whether the Love for God is greater than the Love for the relationship, or vice vista, because you are using different yardstick to measure. It is like saying, which is worst: possessiveness or insensitivity?

However, it is known for its possible conflicts that probably doesn't have any viable solution unless either one shift side completely. Compromising only works temporary, for such relationship is usually created by Jupiter/9th house affliction, astrologically speaking. During heavy plantary transit, which could trigger this affliction, many may find it daunting to keep the relationship alive.

Every relationship has its own tale to speak, own woe to share: likewise, such relationship is but a karmic challenge to the relationship, forge by the acceptance of Love for one another. When we ignore the religious part, what we get is like any other problems we faced in any relationship - conflicts that bend to tear the relationship apart, especially when faith in the relationship is at its weakest.

In a religion-conflict relationship (RCR), when we look at it closely, it is actually a conflict of frequency, of both mental and spiritual frequency. Nothing good or bad; just that unless steps are taken to narrow the gap, this vast opening will remain.

P.S: Difficult but possible. LDR (Long-distance Relationship) are difficult, but there are successful stories around as well. See this as a karmic challenge to your relationship and strive to negate this to your advantage.
