Domination & submission _ the BDSM relationship handbook ( PDFDrive )
I think religion in general has unfairly gotten a pretty bad rap. Many people,when they see the word religion, think church. And let’s face it: There are a lotof crazy-ass churches out there. But the existence of stupid churches doesn’tmake religion wrong any more than the existence of stupid algebra studentsmakes mathematics wrong.Let’s stop blaming God for our own stupidity.When we think of religion, we should think of the unique relationship betweenus and God, and also between us and our fellow human beings. If God is a Dom,that makes him a teacher, guide, and example. Perhaps we are simply meant toemulate him, explore that relationship that exists between us and him, and thentry to apply those principles in our relationships with our fellow human beings.Monkey see, monkey do. And, yes, I realize that’s three monkey references inthe last five minutes. I blame the tequila.Perhaps D/s really is my religion. It has but one commandment, which is aslightly modified version of the Golden Rule:Dom unto others as you would have God Dom unto you.
