They also do for themselves instead of emulating Christ and looking to love others. This naturally messes things up royally.
As for Christianity and BDSM, Pup and I have been discussing this recently. There was a time when I fled the life because I could not reconsile it with what I believed. I have since begun to really examine things for myself, and I do think that a lot of BDSM practice can coincide with Christian faith. I used to be a Bible thumper and an arguer, but I learned better than that about nine years ago. Now I am busy seeking and learning, realizing that I am responsible only for myself. What you choose to do is your business. The sooner everyone, Christian and non-Christian alike, learn this, the better we'll all like each other. [;)]

I agree with your view as well thanks for sharing your opinion. Also, when you say 'they' do you mean christians as a whole, the majority or just a select few? Just curious.... Adding also, Im glad you sorted out things within yourself.
A couple of sentences before you began your quote, I stated that 'they' was a general term and did not apply to all Christians. Not having made a detailed study, I couldn't tell you what percentage of those calling themselves Christian fit into my description. But personally, I think the number is unsettlingly high. I've found that somewhat disturbing and depressing at times, but... then I find that I must fall back to basics. I am responsible for myself and I cannot make someone else change. Further more, no one has the right to try and force someone else to change. That would be a very good lesson for everyone (including the government) to learn.
