On Religion

I don’t remember if I’ve posted here about my views on religion with M/s. I talk so much that I forget where I’ve already babbled but it didn’t come up in a search so maybe I haven’t.

A(nother) thread on FL brought this up. The original question asked was, I think, wanting to know if a slave has religious practices that trump the Master’s wishes, then isn’t that person in fact a submissive and not a slave by sheer fact that she’s not surrending total authority to the Master. Or something like that.

For instance, if she cannot change worship times to suit the Master’s schedule or will not engage in some kinky practices due to her religious beliefs, is she then unable to be a fully committed slave?

Well. So. I have weird ideas about M/s and religion. And my reply was kind of off topic to the question on FL so Imma drag it over here.

For me, if religion were important to Master, and I had opposing religious beliefs – I don’t think I could belong to him.

Because if I believed something different than he did, then he would, necessarily, have to be wrong. And if I believed him to be wrong about something as important as the eternal damnation of my soul, I don’t think I could muster up the trust to believe in him about how he wants to be shaping my head and my thoughts.

As it stands, I’m a half-hearted agnostic leaning toward atheism and he’s a non-practicing baptist. Luckily for me, so far, he leans toward my side of the fence.

But if he chooses to become a devout practictioner of his religion, I’d have to believe that he knows what is true, and follow his faith accordingly. I would HAVE to find a way to believe what he believes. Not pretend to believe, not obediently go to church and mumble the words. I would have to accept what he accepts as truth.

And if HE truly believed in his religion, wouldn’t he also prefer that my soul rest with his for all of eternity and insist that I convert? If he believes in his faith and his choice of God, believes it to be the correct worship of God’s will, how would he justify sitting back quietly and allowing me to incorrectly worship – or not worship at all?

If he didn’t care about my soul, then I would logically conclude that he doesn’t care about my afterlife, therefore he also must not care about my current life.

I’m not seeing how people with two differing religions do M/s. Hell, I can’t see how they do vanilla for that matter. This isn’t just a difference of opinion. Religion is what you believe happens to your eternal soul, it’s not a debate on who’s the best man for president.

If I were the religious one and I truly believed that to NOT believe as I did meant that my loved ones were therefore condemned to an eternal life of hardship, I’d do everything in my power to convert them, to save them from that. Because I love them.

Doesn’t that necessarily mean that if someone doesn’t, they don’t care enough? And if they don’t care enough, how can you submit to them?

Or am I way out in left field?
