ORIGINAL: zpenguin So I've had a few people ask me about being Christian and being into the scene if its a conflict of interests. My personal thoughts are yes, you can be both. Granted I know you are supposed to be Married to have intercourse according to Christian Laws but no body is a saint. I'm am looking to see other peoples' thoughts on this subject. (I know some people will get stirred up about this so keep it polite please) Most religious people pick and choose what parts of the religion they follow, and what parts are "outdated" or "barbaric" or "just plain wrong". For example, most have now embraced homosexuality and no longer hate gay people or threaten to kill/jail them. BDSM is the same way - religious people who embrace things like sodomy, homosexuality, sex toys, group sex, polyamory, forced sex, public play, sadomasochism, and other BDSM activities do so by ignoring the parts of the religion they want to ignore, and embracing what they want to embrace. We invent our own religions by picking and choosing from hundreds of available viewpoints and coming up with what we see as "the right way to be a christian" (or muslim, jew, etc). You don't find many religious fundamentalists practicing BDSM.
