This is probably going to sound pretty fucking wierd, but it bothers me.
Ok, Im dating this girl. Shes agnostic/athiest, Im christian, formerly catholic non denominational. Up to this point, with the exception of discussion, Ive not really had any issues with religions shit in our relationship. It doesnt bother me that shes agnostic, it hasnt bothered her that Im christian.
So, today we were talking, and I told her I was going to become a reverend in the universal life church. For those of you who dont know, its an online website where you can actually get legally ordained and become a reverend in the eyes of the law. I find this fucking hilarious, and have wanted to for a while, but never got around to it.
She reacted badly. First, she joked that she didnt want to be involved with a reverend. Then she got serious and basically made it clear that it would bother her for me to become a reverend while I was dating her (expressed so that it was clear she didnt want me to do it)
Then she tells me its "disrespectful towards my religion"
This is coming from a girl who Ive watched the jesus episodes of southpark with. Whom I have made catholic joke after catholic joke (Im entitled, I was raised in it) with and laughed with her. Whom I have had frank discussions about the real failings of certain christian sects.
And now this.
Needless to say, I reacted badly. I was, and am pissed at her, for reasons I cant really say. Given that she doesnt even have a religion (because atheism and agnosticism are no more religions than bald is a hair color) I dont see where she gets off getting on me for being "disrespecful" towards mine or having an issue with it when its not like...
Anyway. Enough impassioned speeches, my question to the masses, is what do you think. Am I out of line? Is she? Because Im going to do this, and shes not going to like it. And I dont like feeling guilty for doing things I know arent wrong. (link)

If you really cared about her you wouldn't do this. Truth is, you ARE being disrespectful to your religion. This IS wrong and you should feel guilty. Unless, you seriously want to become a reverend then do it some other way. Your girlfriend is only respecting your religion and you shoud respect her for it.
//edit//
You OBVIOUSLY don't care about your girlfriend. I know my boyfriend wouldn't do ANYTHING like that if he knew I cared about it so much. You need to chill.. it's your choice- your girlfriend or some stupid reverend thing you want to do.
Something like this really is a disgrace to all Christians. I'm a Catholic and don't consider myself highly religious, but THIS goes too far.

I disagree. And though I do care about her, its really none of her fucking business. It wont affect my life with her, and its one of those things, this wont change who I am, how I act towards her or others, or how I treat her or others. It wont affect anything in my life except adding amusement value.
Its no girlfriends job to make her boyfriend feel guilty about things he does that arent morally reprehensible. Me becoming a reverend hurts no one. If people are worried about God being pissed, well my saying is that if God didnt have a sense of humor, we'd all have been dead long ago. She isnt and doesnt respect my religion. She doesnt respect me for BEING christian, shes just ok with it. She doesnt get any respect for her actions in this case, sorry. Shes just being selfishly wierd. Im being selfish too, but its my life, and where my life doesnt affect others lives, its none of their fucking business.
