I was raised in a Christian home. I rebelled, and rejected it as a teenager, and went out into the world. I got involved in a relationship with a girl who was into Wicca and Pagansim, and other things. I used to have a t-shirt which said: "I'm a neo-Pagan. If you think I'm bad now, wait 'till I'm dead."
Similar to SR13, I found my way back to Christianity, back to my roots and what I discovered were actually my core beliefs, which as a young man, I just didn't understand, and didn't want to believe. Self reflection and examination is a good thing. One's personal belief systems are exactly that *personal*. I have neither the right, nor the desire to force my belief system on anyone, including my sub. To do so would be to engage in unrighteous dominion, and that is a line I won't cross. Having said that, I would freely share my religion and my thoughts of it with my girl, in the hope that she would choose to embrace it of her own free will, without coercion on my part. --Rich |

I have Celtic traditional pagan beliefs. Wasn't raised in any active religion. Its never been an issue with me. I'd hope it wouldn't be because I'd like to think ppl in this type of lifestyle would be open minded to trying to understand anything.

@Nemesis Surely a hope, but one never knows the truth. I've kept my own bias out of my responses and my original question, but I will admit, people have a tendency of pretending to be okay with things they are not. Simply reality.

Actually, best to put potential deal-breakers on the table right away- saves you both a lot of wasted time. Remember that "OK, this isn't going to work for me, but I hope you find someone it does work for." is a perfectly acceptable outcome of negotiation. No one's at fault, just not a good fit. |

i think beliefs are fascinating, part of what makes a person the individual they are. my only issue is when a belief ventures into 'knowledge' territory. i think 'fundamentalist' anything is poison. "Fundamentalism" used to (ethnocentrically) be applied to certain types of Christians, but they do not own the mindset. i've met 'fundamentalist' atheists and have observed the mind set can be applied to lots of beliefs. Essentially it's the notion that one can know something absolutely. Once one does that, everyone has to believe as they do because it isn't just belief to them, it's 'the truth.' Once someone "knows the truth" it's no longer a belief to them.
No one expects the Spanish inquisition. |

No one expects the Spanish inquisition. I'm sorry, but I disagree. I know a lot of things about a lot of things. Do I have an urge to force feed this knowledge to people who don't know and don't want to know? To people who believe the truth to be something different from what I know it to be? No. I might tell someone who asks me or someone who genuinely want to know, but why force my knowledge upon anybody else? Fundalism isn't knowing the truth or believing one knows the truth. Fundalism is believing to know the truth and making it ones mission to not only tell everyone else, but actually make them listen in what ever way, be they interested or not. Knowing I'm really good in bed isn't fundamentalism. Raping someone to prove it is. |

I am Jewish with Vodou roots.
My beloved is Vodou with Jewish influences. We are 24/7 M/s. Have bern for 19 years. These questions stand no matter what religion, I think. My beloveds religion is an integral part of her- I have no right in my Mastery to interfere with My beloveds relationship with the divine. For me, the stronger and more self evolved she is- the stronger her submissoon is. 3) This one is more for Dominants; a) If no to 1, did it cause trouble for you if your sub came with a belief like Witchcraft or did you not care? b) If yes to 1, did you try to suggest/ the lifestyle to your sub and how did they react to it? My beloved started as a witch. I was so proud of her, watching how she grew into her power and into her self. I am deeply proud of the practioner that she has beome and continue to evolves to be. At the end of the day she leavds her piwer at my feet. Why wouldn't I want her to grow into a tornado? |
