ORIGINAL: daddysprop247 do you think you should share the same religious beliefs and values that your Dominant or Master holds? I view those as two separate issues. "Should" you hold the same religious beliefs .. for some people, yes, they should if their faith is strong and it will interfer with their service or dominance to have to set it aside. For others, like Himself and I, it doesn't matter. Values are completely different. If Himself and I did not have compatible values, we wouldn't have gotten together at all. quote:
could this be a deal-breaker for you, or do you think it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things? For values, yes, for religion no. quote:
if you currently have a Dominant/Master, do the two of you share the same religion? No, he is Jewish and I'm not. quote:
if you are of two different belief systems, has this ever caused any problems? The only issue that ever rose up was when he forbid me from engaging in any more hooking or bell dancing which was very much a part of my spirituality. Now I express it in other ways. quote:
do you think certain belief systems are just bound for incompatibility, i.e. Christian+Pagan, Atheist+Muslim?? just a current curiousity of mine... I think it depends on how much your particular faith and/or beliefs mean to you. I am very Mother oriented, but Himself doesn't care as long as it doesn't interfer with my service to him. Celeste
