Please help, belief differences tearing us apart

Relationship Problems

Hi, i have been with my girlfriend for nearly 2 years now and are very much in love. She is an atheist and so isnt religious where as i could be likened to being christian or catholic becuase i uphold the same principals and read the bible. But recently something came up that had just never occured in conversation before about my attitude towards a certain controversy and because of what i believe and she doesn't. She thinks im a discriminant towards this certain group of people whereas im simply saying what i believe from my upbringing and the bible. She used to say she understood my way of thinking when we talked about my beliefs and ethics but because of this she says im discriminant. I'm really hurt because im not, she wont talk and all we do is argue in circles about it and she says im diseased in the head for it, i think shes putting pressure on me for my beliefs or her and im not strong enough to leave her and i dont want to even though i try to be strong in arguments with her, but its just now that my beliefs are a problem so i cant see why she cant understand like she has before, i really dont know what to do please help me.

Different beliefs

Of course you have a right to your beliefs and she to hers. You can just agree to disagree about this. You think one thing, she thinks another.

You could do some reearch, however, and find out more about these people that she says you are discriminating against. There may be more recent knowledge than was available during your upbringing and when the Bible was compiled, and your girlfriend's knowledge, whilst different from yours, may also be out of date. Alleged discrimination often can be rooted in prejuduce, which generally comes from insufficient information.

It is not worth breaking up an otherwise good relationship over a difference of opinion, is it?
