Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA Lines: 20 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu There has been a hot debate over hear about this topic. I'm not talking about whether Christians should MARRY non-Christians. That's been talked to death. And I'm not talking about the friendly-platonic type of date. I'm talking about dating for the purpose of romance. I mean should Christians DATE ( whatever that means ) non-Christians ? Half of the people here say no because romance involves strong emotions that we with our weak faith will have difficulty in controlling. And so we would be more open to the suggestion of sin. Half of the people here say its okay because no real harm can come of it and its a great way to meet new people. Don't tell me to "pray and God will help you resist temptation" because sometimes God sees it fit to allow some to compromise their faith for the sake of their SO. ^>*<^ Jmoon
