Religion and M/s relasionship

[13'sbadkitty]

i am a deeply spiritual woman who submits to my Master/husband. I am also in recovery which makes for me the priority list God, recovery, self, everything else... Master says he owns me and i belong to Him yet as some have reflected above, it is in a different sense for me. God owns my entirety in a way a human can't but it doesn't diminish the ownership of my husband. I could choose to ignore God, yet i would still be his anyway...but i could walk away from my husband if i needed to for my health or that of my kids and while i may miss him even, long for him i still get to walk away from him. no matter what his ownership of me is, it is not something i didn't choose to do. i will admit that i feel like i would break myself if i had to walk away from that relationship but i could if i had to. where i have walked away from God and i was still his kid. I guess thats how i see it in a way, similar to the way a parent is with a kid is how God is with me. its much much deeper than that, yet that is the simplest analogy i can think of.

And I can respect that choice.

I could choose to ignore God, yet i would still be his anyway...

Why is it you don't feel free to walk away from God? You admit that you don't have the choice? That sounds like old fashioned slavery to me.

Yet every child must eventually reach a stage in her life when she must leave her parents behind, go out on her own and make a life for herself. Sure, her parents will always be there, to provides support and love, but the relationship changes, generally. As an adult woman, free to make her own choices in this world, what compels you to view yourself as a child dependent upon a god?
