    Quoting  :

The Bible openly condones genocide, slavery, r a p e, child abuse, homophobia, misogyny, and intolerance. If this is the best we can do for a moral compass, I weep for the future of our species. Morality did not "go out the window" in the 1960s...in the years since that tumultuous decade, this world has made epic leaps forward towards greater equality in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, and culture. In my opinion, the Bible has been the inspiration and/or justification for far more immorality that morality. We can do better.

    Quoting  :

You know, I don't buy that oft-stated statistic that couples are less likely to divorce because they share a religious faith...in my humble opinion, making such an assertion is committing the correlation implies causation fallacy. There very likely is less divorce among religious couples because independent-minded people who are less likely to accept enduring a bad relationship are also less likely to be religious. You could also argue that the statistics are skewed in a negative way because religious couples could be more likely to stay in bad—and even abusive—relationships because of the social and dogmatic pressures that are inherent to their particular religion.

I am also skeptical about how healthy the links between D/s and scripture truly are. Submission in a biblical sense is compelled by religious laws and ultimately the whims of a deity...which feels more coercive than voluntary to me. Personally, I would prefer that my partner chooses to submit to me because she trusts, loves, and wants to please me...not because she in any way feels it's an obligation to protect her mortal soul or comply with some religious law.

On here, I am a kinky pervert. I try to constrain myself to that mode in my blog. However, being a nondenominational Christian, inside, I have done a few posts that contained a Bible verse now and then.

On Facebook, I am a father, a relative to various family members, and on occasion, I will speak my religious or political mind.
I do try not to do so here, however, because it is as the verse says, "Casting your pearls to the swine!" Or, putting it another way, dragging God through the mud!

There are many people of faith on alt. I have met more than a few. To those who are receptive, I will offer my knowledge of the Bible, and or good, sound Christian advice.
But for the most part, regardless of how well intended we are, pervasive attackers will come out of the cracks to slander the Word, the one posting the verses, and their own personal beliefs.

Your intentions were good, meant for good. It is unfortunate that the "haters" had to come out and ruin this potentially productive, informative post!

Best Wishes!

You put it aptly.

I enjoyed reading your quotes and thinking about them.

To paraphrase Malcolm Gladwell ".... it would be interesting to find out what goes on in that moment when someone looks at (what you have written) and draws all sorts of conclusions.

Being raised in a Christian home, I too have struggled with my faith and this lifestyle at times. Then I learned to come to peace with my God and myself. I judge no one, each to their own. We all live on this small planet and it seems to get smaller every day. My God made no mistake when he created me. My desires as submissive were in my heart long before I knew anything about this lifestyle. My desire to serve and please, my desire for fun rebellion, bondage, forced control. I was just a kid, 10 yrs old. Yes the same time all those Sunday School lessons were sinking in, memorizing all those bible verses and singing all those lovely Southern Baptist Hymns. Praise God, please spank me Daddy. I'm a big girl now, happily accepting and at peace with who I am. Thank you for sharing, I must admit some of these same verses kept me in an abusive marriage for 10 yrs, that and fear of what he would do if I left him. It was after we both agreed to part ways that I learned of BDSM.
