Her dad is still trying to control her life, and you in it.
I'd tell your girlfriend, if you seriously don't mind attending church, that you two should find another church who isn't so judgemental. Then let him flip his lid.

I was not the churchgoer in the relationship, she was. It is now definitely over by the way, she doesnt want anything to do with me anymore and said "If we are meant to be, it will be".
You don't need a future together. You're both immature.
Look, I'm a Christian, and I'm telling you that you don't need to be anywhere near her dad. His tactics are bizarre, and the way he put it to you is not healthy. What the hell is the red ant/white ant stuff? What grown man actually says that stuff? Not sure I believe all this but anyway ...
Just understand that his views on Christianity (at least the way you describe them) are warped, and you don't need to be around him. She undoubtedly will have emotional problems from being raised this way.
Time to move on. Stay broken up for your own good.
You need to be careful what promises you make to people. But please don't get baptized just because you want to make someone happy. It's not like getting a haircut. It's supposed to be a serious commitment, some say a sacrament, that you must make for the right reasons.
This^^. Whole family sounds wacko and not like any Christians I've ever known (that means most of my entire family - and there are over a hundred of them). Move on - for your own sake.
You are SEVENTEEN for crying out loud....a kid still. You will barely remember this girl when you are a mature man and truly ready for a commitment.

If you were willing to be baptized for my daughter, just because, with no feelings for the religion, then I'd call you a hypocritical little boy who I wouldn't want to be with her.
You should have manned up, and owned your feelings. If her dad didn't like it, tough. Be who you are.
And no, I don't go to church anymore, I was baptized when I was 10, not a 20 year old man.
As I said, if you aren't man enough to stand for what you believe in, why would I want you to marry my daughter?

Hi, thank you for your opinion. In this case her dad finds me weak because I wouldnt baptize for her (So I stoud up for my own beliefs). He said he would do it for her if he was in my position, just for her, not for 'God'. That's about the weirdest part.....

Her dad is seriously messed up. Stay away from him.

And what I'm telling you is that you're willingness to cave to that, agree to that in the first place reveals character flaws. Then backing out on your word reveals more.
Her dad is a jerk, you're not acting like a man.
You're both weak on character, imo. You need to follow your path, and you should have done that to begin with. You can't change your past, but you can correct your future.
