Among the targets of such judgements have been: Art. Music. Science. Philosophy. Sex. Question authority. Worship on Sunday. Worship on Saturday. Worship on Friday. Use zippers. Cut their hair. Support literacy and public education. Use electricity. Use medicine. Dance. Eat pork. Eat beef. Eat animals and birds. Drink coffee. Wear wool and linen at the same time. Wear hats. Don't wear hats. And BDSM. BDSM is a diverse set of expressions of human sexuality and eroticism possible for competent, aware, consenting adults. It is not the flavor for everyone. It might surprise you to hear that extremely aware ethical caring and smart people practice BDSM but that is my experience. If you are curious and have questions as to how that can be, ask.

So your thesis is that you engage in BDSM because you have forgot to worship God, how well does that go together with all the wars that have been started by people who claims to be good christians? I am not sure if you know about the dynamics in a BDSM based relationship. I claim that you will find very loving and caring people within the BDSM community - BDSM and voilence are far from each other. What you are expressing is a typical outsider perspective and I understand that a lot of activities within BDSM looks like voilence, but it is not - That is your lack of knowledge taking you for a ride.
