  • BDSM

    While on my revelife account for the first time in a while I stumbled upon the recently featured blog post about BDSM: Sin or not? In my response I brought up Bob Flanagan. For those who don't know, here is the quick run down. Bob has cystic fibrosis, bad. He is going to die. With his partner he lets himself become submissive. He is tied up, cut, hit... among other things, all causing him physical pain. Bob essentially rewired his system so that when he experienced this pain, he felt pleasure. This allowed him to live much longer than estimated. Much, much longer. He reached some sort of higher brain functioning, so to speak. He was able to control his pain, and more than that, he was able to feel pleasure from it.

    In this I may not see religion in particular but I do see spirituality. Would people of any religion look kindly upon someone who used sexual domination and submission in order to live longer and to reach this place where they felt no pain?

  • shouting for athiesm

     Today was the first time I have ever seen someone in our courtyard screaming for atheism. Usually this is the spot where men and women stand, put up tents, and play music for Christ. Join us! They say. Trust in God! They say. I admit I did a double take when I heard the exact opposite today, I almost wasn't able to process it.

    It's true though. Why is it that people who are agnostic or atheist don't spout off their beliefs in the same way that people who are ____ do? Because there is less organization between people who have no religion or an unidentified set of beliefs?

    Made me stop and think, a bit.

  • we should become more tolerant

    I'm admittedly atheist but I do have an interest in religion. How could you not? With such a large population in our world in some sort of religion it's impossible to ignore the impact it has on our lives in some way or another.

    I haven't read the bible, entirely. In fact I'd posted on my main account (suggestivetongue) a while back asking what kind of bible I should be reading because it seems there are so many different kinds. Sometimes entire shelves. It's a bit confusing for someone who just refers to the bible as "the bible" and presumes there is only one edition, just one copy.

    But I digress,

    I pride myself in being open minded and that is why I am interested in reading the bible. But I also think that people should read books from other religions. I don't think it matters how religious you are, if you want people to respect your views you should respect theirs as well. That doesn't mean you have to agree with them, and it doesn't always mean you have to particularly even be quiet that you disagree, but you should respect them enough to understand where they are coming from before you disagree.

    How many of you who are religious have studied a religion outside of your own?

  • Without God

    To those who are religious,

    If you did not have God, would you still know right from wrong? I hear all the time that people get their perception of what is good and bad from the bible or from what their religion says. If you didn't have God or the bible, how different would your perception of good vs bad be?
