This thread has covered two distinct themes:
1. Practicing a loving BDSM relationship in context with one's spritual values
and
2. The temptations in our lives that can interfere with one's personal walk with the Lord, (Goddess and Consort or whatever deity/ies one follows.)
I'd like to thank everyone for their well thought out answers and support for ManOfFaith. This community has truly grown in the last few years and it's a pleasure to see the level of maturity in the conversations continue to rise.
A number of questions and side comments could well be made into threads of their own for further discussion.
If there's something a member here feels strongly about, please do open another thread on that topic.

ManOfFaith, I'll miss you.
All the best in your walk with the Lord.
