ORIGINAL: xBullx -fast reply- Hmmmmm, is it possible to be both a saditic and masocistic person? While I do like to torture the pretty little wench; I am a Gorean, I'm a Catholic and I'm a white skinned American male. Holy fuck am I ever a glutton for punishment. Oh and DominorSomnium, don't take these guys all that serious, I'm sure they would make fun of their own mothers. It's only blasphemy when you make fun of God, not the Catholic Church. I have the most complex time trying to understand the word coming from St. Peters Vasilica, I think they are simply creating busy work or attempting to justif their jobs when they devise some new stuff like listed here. The Catholic Church I believe in is the people that I share faith with right here in my home town. That's a Home Stone(Gorean) thing though, so I doubt that most would understand. Viva Jesus, Bull I don't think it is a solely Gorean thing honestly. The "spiritual community" I found in my little church here in town is like a family.. and it is the community standards they (we I should say) have set and believe in.. that I follow. Not some idea the main church has. Mind you it generaly falls in line with it.. but we have our own "feel" and it is different from other churches of the exact same faith I have been to. I feel like I am "home" when I go. We are a community. It is why I officaly Joined the church. A strong sense of community and belonging.. and protecting that is a human thing. I understand this point of view: ...Perhaps the most significant difference between the man of Earth and the Gorean is that the Gorean has a Home Stone, and the man of Earth does not. It is difficult to make clear to a non-Gorean the significance of the Home Stone, for the non-Gorean has never had a Home Stone, and thus cannot understand its meaning, its reality. I think that I shall not try to make clear what is the significance to a Gorean of the Home Stone. It would be difficult to put into words; indeed, it is perhaps impossible to put into words; I shall not try. I think this is one of the saddest things about the men of Earth, that they have no Home Stone. ---Slave Girl of Gor, 9:213-214 But I simply do not agree with it. Some of us have that sense of home, community, pride, and protection. ( Ask the English about thier home towns. They usualy dont give a fig about thier country govt. very much.. but thier home town and what is in thier communities.. now that is a different matter. At least the ones I have as friends. ) Mess up an Englishmans garden and see what happens to ya.. *chuckles* Gwyn
