distanced - I don't really think it's fair for you to have her research her own religion specifically to tell her it's illogical and stupid. That is you trying to change her. If she is not trying to do that to you, why try and do it to her? Sure my bf might think a certain way about things and I think that is stupid but I would never go out of my way to force him to change.
I hate to say it but I agree with JD. Unfortunately, organized religion causes unnecessary conflict. And it's not like these are two religions that are laid back....these are two up-tight religions. I'm catholic (non-practicing) and I had to watch my mom go through the whole annulment process and then watch my step-dad convert to catholicism just so they would be accepted by the catholic community! Depending on the sect of Mormonism she believes in.....they're just as bad, if not worse. You both will basically be ostracized from both communities no matter what happens. Neither of you can be married in a church of either faith unless someone converts. And, my guess is, her family will not be accepting of having a wedding outside a church.
Religion is a dangerous thing....especially when love is involved. I guess I'm having trouble understanding how you could be so against something so important to her and you basically said it was flat out stupid and ridiculous....yet you want to be with her?
