Religious faith and live the D/s lifestyle?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Many D/ser's seem to be pretty spiritual. Many believe that working hard and being the best you can be, trying not to ever hurt others, to continue growing inside and out, is a good way to live. Before going any further, I want to stress that all I have to share is my own opinion, strength, and hope.

Personally, I do subscribe to a particular religion. I do believe that a relationship with God is essential to the healthy human spirit. I believe that every religion has good things to offer. I would never try to say that any one of them is the end all and the be all. I believe that the bible is correct, and that if one follows the principles set forth in it, such as the ten commandments, one will live a much happier life.

I also believe that we are responsible to always continue growing, always striving to become better people. Each of us has an individual path for growth. I think it is absolutely essential to never judge another's path. "Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged." I try to live by this. I am not God, therefore, what right do I have to judge the path that someone else is following?

It is my belief that the bible actually supports D/s relationships. There are numerous instances of a wife referring to her husband as "Master", along with guidelines for each in how to be better for the other. Some of the same principles in D/s, like learning your partner, knowing them as well as yourself, communication, and meeting each others needs are actually commanded. Although most slavery in the bible was not consensual, the guidelines given for slaves then could be applicable for those who serve as consensual slaves today.
