Christianity and BDSM. Quite SFW from an images point of view; there are none. Lots of text and discussions, and the URL is a little racy but there you go. Not much to discuss really, just thought you'd all like to know that the site exists.

Like she says, tricky things, humans. I found this via Making Light, which has a few other jewels worth reading. For instance, this one; the US government won't pay for long distance phone calls, so injured troops at Walter Reed have a hard time calling home. Donated phone cards could make for the best Christmas present. And it's not just tort reform either. Big companies find the rule of law to be....limiting. So it's in their best interests to create change-the-law talking points, in certain, well confined, directions. I hate having my cynicism abused and exploited that way. She also wrote this useful essay on manuscript rejection (she works as an editor). I have to confess, I'm pretty sure I'd flunk out at point 7. Oh yes, and a link to the compelling Biological warfare and the "Buffy paradigm" (pdf).

  • She understands about rejection and writers. How my life's blood drips from these rejected manuscripts. Of course the poor dimwit writer takes it personally: it ALWAYS feels personal when ye get kicked in the nuts! And have nothing to feed yourself with. And the collie is starving, too. Nothing to do but screw up another sheet of paper and start anew.
  • Hmmm- I thought all Christians were supposed to be submissives- you know, turn the other cheek and all. Could mean that there is a dire shortage of Christian Doms. Satan may have his place, after all
  • But I thought Moses had led us out of bondage? No wonder he never said where we were going the sadistic bastard.
  • Let my people go....to have sex the way they want and with whom they want.
  • Beat me, whip me, tie me up and...crucify me? Hmmm...never thought of JC as the Founding sub. *lightbulb* Oh, I get it...all that footwashing was really a coverup for bootlicking. /going straight to hell
  • Who wants me to tell the story my flatmate (who works in a sex shop) related about the Hassidic Jew and the PVC nurses uniform? Anybody? Just speak up, now.
  • Spill it Flashboy!
  • Totally disappointing site. I eagerly went to the "What the Bible Says" link, ready for a quick rundown on where BDSM is discussed in the Bible and found an "under construction" along with a link to the same old same old.
  • My roommate wants pictures of leather and crosses (skeptical).
  • Q: Why did Jesus stay on the cross for three days? A: Because he forgot his safe word.
  • Can't do a search for it safely at work, but anybody ever heard of Divine Insertions? Buddha and Mary vibrators, even a Baby Jesus Buttplug. You know, in case you're just not going to Hell fast enough. ;) THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!
  • Oooer, Jeebus.
  • Divine interventions [NSFW]. I like the jackhammer Jesus.
  • *likes the term 'insertions' better, but oh well...*
  • we're still waiting flashboy
