Christianity and its effect on Relationships

[slyracoon]

So let me post a background so my question doesn't sound completley strange and awkward. I am a non religious guy currently dating a VERY religious girl, we are both 17 years old. It has become apparent to her that a relationship between her and I cannnot exist because I dont share the same beliefs as her. According to her she believes that in a relationship you should be working your way towards God in order to be close with your significant other. Ive taken part in doing a little research in order to gain a little more perspective on the whole religion thing concerning Christianity, but to me there are so many loop holes that I cannot seem to make sense of, as my sense of logic just doesnt click I have two questions. 1. Is there any defining proof that someone can refer to to simply prove God's existence? and 2. Should I continue to see this girl? I could never envision a world where people are made to change for the benefit of others but her and I have been through quite a lot and I think its fair to say we are both very attached, but the religious barrier seems to create this huge problem. Any thoughts/ideas/advice?

From my experience:
1) There is NO proof of any god that can be provided that's testable, verifiable and repeatable with conclusive results. That's the nature of "belief". You can believe in anything you want, no matter what facts do or don't exist. Want to believe unicorns live inside the sun and feed on babies? Go ahead, no one can prove that's not the case if you want to believe it is.
2) A religious person can have a relationship with a non-religious person. The question then becomes, can it be a positive, enjoyable relationship? I've seen it both ways, but more often that not, those relationships where one is VERY religious aren't positive and often end. Same can hold true for those in relationships with different religions.
I would say, if you can put up with the constant badgering that comes with the antagonizing of "won't you please accept my god!?!" then go for it. Otherwise.....
