I was thinking about this the other day. Master is Cathloic and i am Protestant. Now that does not affect our relationship at all because we do nor agree on everything but is close enough. We hold the same core beliefs.
My question is this for those who believe in orginiazed religon. Did you upbringing make you believe BDSM was wrong and somhow dirty, or did it embrace all kinds of lifestyles?
I never believed it was wrong, Master brings so much joy imto my life. I believe if we were meant to be happy and this brings us happiness how can it be wrong?
Matt's littleone
Laffs. littleone, I was raised Catholic back in the day when Mass was still said in Latin, etc. Believe me, I was never told diddly -sh*t about sex, never mind D/s. We were taught that, as girls, we were 'occassions of sin' and such nonsense.
But because of the complete 'blackout' on all matters sexual, I never could figure out what the clergy were driving at, and so I did not acquire 'Catholic guilt' about sex or D/s.
Nowadays I don't belong to a parish or attend Mass regularly. If I ever again felt the need to worship with other people and join a spiritual community, most likely I'd convert to another religion.
Some part of me will always be Catholic, but since the Church has taken political views on matters I think it should leave to the secular commnity -- and I mostly disagree -- I doubt I'd ever feel at home in a Catholic Church again.
