I think you should reread the first two or three sentences of the OP.
I didn't write the opening to the OP for typing practice. It was so people could read it. Wanting to experience pain and sexual arousal together, or getting stimulated by inflicting pain is a spiritual sickness. It's a sign the soul is sick, and may be dead.
the captians wench said:I've been adimitly avoiding this thread but something drew me to it this morning and all I can say is that it makes me sad.
I've often thought about writing a book on the D/s frame of mind and the christian standing, but I don't think that my path is close enough to God at the moment.
I've always tried to respect every one here, and every one in general. Hell I worked with pagans for a while (we had a running joke because the pagans just happened to be dominate and the "good little christian girls" just happend to be submissive, so the pagans got to beat on the christians this time round.), the way we got along is we didn't hold another's believes against the person. And we didn't hold past dealings with others in that person's faith as an example of what that person would be like. The way I could "cope" with it so to speak is that I love the person and hate the sin. (please any one of a different faith that I offend please forgive me, this is one of the largest reasons I don't post my feelings about religion on this forum because I know that my views would be offencive to others and I don't mean to be offencive or judgemental at all). I prayed for them every night, and when I saw opertunities I showed my faith by example, not by preaching at them. When we had a difference of opinion on a religious matter, I debated my point, until it was obvious to all of us that none of us were going to be swayed.
To be christian is to be Christ like. Christ did not go out of his way, in most instances, to shove his pholosophies down people's throughts. Insted he taught those who saught his knowledge, and lived by example. This is how I hope to show my faith. And I'm far from perfect. My walk has been a shakey one my whole life, but only I can know where I stand with God.
