I'm Christian-Baptist and I'm dating a Mormon. We're 17. Both of us are okay with each others religions and we respect them, but our parents aren't as happy as we are. Any way I can impress his parents to show them I'm a good girl for their son?

• I am an active Mormon who also began dating a Protestant. There are differences in the denominations that make a difference in the way people live their lives, but both stand for strong central values.
  
  I think that it's tricky when dealing with interfaith dating, and marriage, but It's a choice that you should have to make not those around you.
  
  I am so frustrated when other people try to influence my decisions. That goes against both religions. I think you should both be mature, and not compromise either of your value system. Seek to honestly understand each others beliefs and traditions, and be open minded.
  
  Understand the differences, and similarities well, and Make sure you honor your parents and respect what they have done for you, but don't let them exercise "unrighteous dominion" over you. But don't be stupid about it either. : ) GL

• The old ways never seem to change. Found this quote from Jefferson and it fits.
  
  On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind.
  -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Archibald Carey, 1816

• we can see that you have no respect for God nor man. This is one reason why so many young people are dying on the streets, because the bible states to honor thy mother and father that thy days may be long on the earth and this is the only commandment with promise. I,m glade that we are living in grace and not in the biblical days where such things were not tolirated
