The Culture that has been here all the time

When I studied to acquire my Master's status I discovered the M/S relationship existed probably for all the history of humans. Religion and Western Culture distort this greatly. Using codes and euphemisms even denial masks it presents the fact many people thrive within this often unrecognized subculture. For example, my wife had all the earmarks of a pleasure slave and was generally devoted and submissive to me. In times of marriage friction, I often heard the words from a counselor, "She just wants you to love her" "Love her" I thought I was and did now I know without a doubt I need to be a master, not some preconceived idea we are to live as equals.

Greed is Healthy and Well in the World

You can remove the poor boy from the lower class (yours truly is one), but you can never elevate him to a higher class.

Greed is the true religion of the US, and common Religions lead the way. No matter how poor my family was, "The Church" always wanted its cut.

I don't want to incite a nasty debate; I only want to suggest I am a man without religion, and I have my reasons; I will never return to religion ever again.

The church we had belonged to for decades - and my wife was a diligent servant - was the first group of people we were associated with that left me to care for her by myself when she was diagnosed with dementia (the last four years have been hard). Next came family, and by that time, I no longer had friends as well. I will continue to care for my wife until my last breath or her last breath.

Bitter? Yes. I do not expect that I will have a caregiver for me when that time arrives.

Andron - And so we thought some brothers and sisters in the Lord that we knew (some for forty years) would have helped us. The Christians in that part of Ocean County, NJ, bounced from church to church, so we knew or were acquainted with more than the 300 members from the last church we belonged to.
I served there for about ten years and Jeanne for about twenty-five. I preferred one of the smaller churches where I was needed most, but Jeanne always liked the bigger churches.
I was treated with very hostile attitudes because I was always bringing to the forefront selfish or misguided Bible interpretations: GREED WAS ONE EXAMPLE. God doesn't need us to get things done by backing an evil person for whatever reason, so prayer rather than POLITICS is my preferred course.
But that is all over now. I grew up in the NYC area, and a certain leader was not only greedy but abused people and associated with organized crime - yet I was threatened with death by a gunshot by a prominent Christian who disagreed with me.
No place is perfect. If I could, I would move to Switzerland or to Iceland, where I have an older brother and a big Icelandic family.
I know here once my wife is gone, I will die alone my step-children never liked me, and my son and daughter - extremely wealthy in the Shenandoah Valley VA - live for materialism I do not.

Andron - I have no argument with you. Not one of the three pastors came to visit. I renamed God Eternal Grandfather Creator.

nettiK - Religion and politics are similar. They both want your money and time. That does not work for me so I have a personal relationship with God and my daily devotional scriptures (Jesus Calling) helps me without whining to friends and family. All the best ?
