He is learning to set boundries for himslf.I hope he doesn't treat you disrespectfully. We are all equal in God's eyes, all have failed and come short.Thank God for grace(unearned merrit).He loves us all unconditionally.
He (bf)may just need time alone to establish his own person identity with God.

 Damn, that really sucks for you. 12 years. The god thing took over his life. Same thing append with me, with my friend. He was always really cool with me, we drank together, get girls together, video games, things guys do. then one day, he had an epiphany. Suddenly I'm the bad guy, I am dirty, and because I respect other people religion, such as Buddha, and Jewish, I'm not good enough for god.
So me not good enough for god meant I'm not good enough for him, why do I need that. I was friends with him for about 18 years that day.
This is the same guy that said that Children in Africa that never even heard of god or even seen the catholic bible, meaning that they have no means of access to the book, if they died without believing in "GOD" that they will go to hell...
Who needs that, sad to say, it sucks for you, there is nothing you can do, might as well continue living your life as you used to. He changed, and rejected you. obviously its not your fault, it sucks, but then again so much crap happens that sucks that's not the persons fault.
by the way, my wife. she is a christian catholic, I'm more of an agnostic, we don't question our views, nor do we push our views into each other. Apparently my wife's god is a little more lenient, or maybe the whole woman vs man thing is there, you know the bible is full of sexism, I guess it works in my favor. You did not deserve that, and the biggest reason why, is because you did not ask for it, he basically surprised you.

You're probably better off without him if he hasn't been able to form a relationship with your son after this long.
The god business is probably just his way of dumping you without having to do so to your face, cowardly some might say....

I suggest that you pray to the almighty Father in heaven for your salvation, to pardon you for leading this good man into temptation of the flesh in your arms. Perhaps He will have mercy on you and guide you to meet your ordained mate for life one day.
In the name of the Lord, Hallelujah! Amen.
Now go in peace my child and sin no more!

You often see this kind of fanaticism and radicalism in new converts of every religion. Later as they see that their expectations are not being met they tone it down or give up all together. You may well have to help him pick up the pieces when the inevitable disappointment comes. If he has converted to Christianity, only a cult-like interpretation would require him to give up a good relationship. If you still want him as a friend, ask him which church he belongs to then maybe find out by phoning them what its all about. Personally I wouldn't put my life on hold for someone who is moving on with theirs. I'm sorry about your pain tho.

It sounds as though he is in a cult and no amount of persuasion is going to allow him to see reality until he is in deep do-do.
You are now free. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it will be given to you.

When one person in a relationship "finds God," a separation
can occur in the perceptions of he/she who has "found God."
In the case of Christianity, there's a popular passage that speaks of "not being unequally yoked." What this means is that unless you and he both see things in a way that goes along with his new way of seeing things, he may begin to feel that you and he are not equally yoked. Another factor may be that his relationship with you prior to his finding God may have possible involved activities that are considered unbecoming to his church. An example of this might cohabitation outside of wedlock.
If you and he truly are friends, and truly do love each other as friends, then some day this love between you will show itself as it truly is. You have to search your own heart to know this. True friendship means that "I'm okay and you're okay, and that whatever happens, I'll still love you...as a friend!" In the area of what is practical, in seeking a romantic relationship wherein both partners are mutually compatible, you should cosider seeking someone who is equally yoked to YOU. Write the rules yourself of what that means to you, and then go out and find someone that fits the bill.
