I'm trying it out. I don't know. I'm very scared, confused, and terrified.

Fast forward to now. I'm becoming more and more fundamentalist. I don't like it, but I feel as though God is calling me. I feel as though if you read the Bible, it says to put God first. So I'm trying to put God first and cut out influences like music, movies, and games that promote sinfulness.

So you're Christian, now. Very much so. Why are you posting in /r/exchristian?

It's putting a huge strain on our relationship. Basically, the ultimatium is now. She said if I want to put religion first, it'll have to be in a life without her. I could do religion-lite, and she wouldn't like it, but she'd tolerate it.

So I'm basically left with two options. And right now, I'm choosing to drop religion whole hog.

This is an idiotic reason to leave your religion. Leave it because it is not true, that the claims made in the Bible are laughably absurd, easily proven demonstrably wrong by every single field of science, and that the God of the Bible is a monster worthy of revulsion-- not because you want to date someone. That's an idiotic reason, and it'll just leave you vulnerable to doing other things for idiotic reasons in the future. You will have learned nothing.
