That's kind of a raw deal, man. I'm not really religious, but I wont like that kind of thing would kind of rub me the wrong way too. Maybe you should just talk it out with her, tell her how you feel and see just how deeply she is into Satanism before you do anything you might regret.

Their is nothing good about Satanism. Ditch her or you might turn into one yourself. I don't know alot about it, but I tend to stay away. What if you marry her, have the cutest kids ever, and 5 years later they are drawing 666 on their coloring books? Come on dude, ditch her, it's the obvious choice.

I think you did the right thing man. I wouldn't mess with that kind of stuff. Also a girl with that religion likely has some other major issues you haven't found out about yet. To the people who say religion isn't a big deal... religion says a great deal about who you are as a person/the kind of person you aspire to be.

Am I the only one that's curious as to why it took her 10 minutes to get a book from her room?

To the people who say religion isn't a big deal... religion says a great deal about who you are as a person/the kind of person you aspire to be. True, but this guy didn't even giver her a chance to explain. She obviously brought this book out to show him something, and he just ran off. I'm no expert on religion, but grouping all Satanists into one category seems akin to saying all Muslims are terrorists, all Christians bomb schools, and all Jews do the millions of things that they've been accused of throughout history... Of course this is just my opinion, but if I were you, I'd go back and try to talk to her about her specific beliefs. If you still don't agree with them after you learn the whole story, fine, leave. However I don't think you should leave her just because of a title she, or someone else, labeled her as. |

Maybe I read but what are your personal beliefs? Obviously the guys saying "you overreacted" probably have a difficult time w/ the ladies or they aren't thinking long term. That said, while you may want to clarify her exact beliefs, I myself couldn't date someone like that. At the same time, trying to force her to change isn't a solution as well. Try as you might, it'd be a constant struggle. Religion is a touchy subject in relationships and has a proven track record of causing problems. Even when it is two different branches of Christianity. You're talking (i'm assuming) Christian & Satanist. Like someone said, gotta factor the "What If's" and all that good stuff. Marrriage, kids, etc. At the end of the day, they know that what they do is considered taboo so you being scared off shouldn't be a huge shock to her. It sucks you fell for her the way you did but that's the way it goes sometimes. I mean, I grew up in a very Catholic home. Had I come home and said "Hey Mom, here's Mandy my Satanist girlfriend...." yeah....that'd been bad. I wouldn't be cold about it, just rationally explain why you can't be w/ someone who practices what she does. She may not like it but at least be man enough to explain it and not leave her hangin like that. Especially if she had any feelings for you near what you had for her.

The only thing I caught was the notebook/journal with a (singular, lone, one) 6 on it. Sounds like a kid doing something for shock value and little more. Upon further inspection, OP is 20. I'm beginning to think I'm right even more. |

Wow!
I would try to have her educate you about it though. It might not be as bad as you think.

You say you love this girl, but you're willing to dump her just because she says she a Satanist? Especially without giving her a chance to explain it to you?
Satanism isn't about "believing in evil" as you put it. There's a lot of good to it, like that list someone posted earlier.
Intolerance is running rampant in this thread.

I'm not religious, but admitadley it would probably throw me off a little bit. I think you handled it completely wrong, and if you really loved her, this wouldn't be an issue.
I'd just let it slide if she's hot enough, tbh. /yesimthatshallow

Yeah my last ex was full of surprises like when i would find out about how many guys she actually slept with and all that, much worse then finding out they believe in some fairy tell.

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth- Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
- Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
- When in another’s home, show them respect or else do not go there.
- If a guest in your home annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy.
- Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
- Do not take that which does not belong to you, unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved.
- Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
- Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
- Do not harm young children.
- Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
- When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they do not stop, destroy them.
Time to get me a copyright lawyer...because those look an awful lot like 11 of King Shocker's 13 Rules to Live By. |

This reminds me of something I once discussed with a friend. We never discussed homosexuality before, and me and this dude were damn near inseparable for five years, till this day he was probably the best friend I've ever had. That said, one day, we're hanging out and he starts immediately talking trash about one of my other friends, a guy named Edgar, who happened to be gay, for the sheer fact of his sexual orientation. My side of it was that, "who  in' cares, he is a GOOD person, and a good friend" - he was appalled because I called him a friend, and I asked him, "well, what would it change if you were buddies with someone, they were gay the WHOOOOLE time, for years - you never knew, and they came out to you?" He told me he'd never speak to them again. I told him to get the out of my house, and never speak to ME again. No, I'm not gay - but I hold the quality of the company I keep above anything and everything else, and I hate intolerance and misinterpretations. Basically, Mr. Original Poster, I liken you to my intolerant friend. You can claim you "love" or "loved" her, but up until she told you, it was never an issue. Was it shocking to hear? I'm sure you were taken aback by it, but you still (to me) come off as a huge tool in the situation, rather than facing the issue and LEARNING SOMETHING, you tucked your tail between your legs and ran away. The "friend" I'm talking about was a guy named Jacob... the summer before my senior year of high school, I was traveling to Pittsburgh, a week before I left he called, and apologized (after ten months of silence on both ends), we hung out a couple of times, and I left. When I came back a month later in August, school started, we caught up more... September, he was murdered by another "friend"/coworker. I'm not going to go into details about that, but I will say that prior to his death, I'm very glad he came around to seeing the OTHER perspective in where I was coming from, and eventually agreed with me. Had he of died before we made amends, it would have really given me a serious blow... and I know it would have been something that effected me for the rest of my life. Stop being stubborn, and call her. Talk to her. Hash it out. Don't be a raging ignoramus. |
