Everyone,
I am kind of with servus on this:
So, likewise... if people want to do crucifixion scenes (tied to a cross, with ropes), then I do not object to the concept. But I might well be uncomfortable viewing it myself.
Without going on a long tangent about religion, I do believe that crucifixion was a horrific way to die. That is exactly why the Romans chose to use it. And for someone to willingly suffer that fate, in order to save a bunch of strangers, is a fairly major act of selfless sacrifice.
Another way to explain how watching "crucifixion play" might affect me (or affect other Christians), would be to consider how a Jewish person might feel, watching someone doing "Nazi death camp play".
I am kind of with servus on this:
I enjoy porn, as a consumer. And I am not a hypocrite about that. If someone that I knew was considering a career in porn, I would try to give "fair and balanced" advice about it, as far as I understood the industry. But if one of my sisters wanted to do porn, that would creep me out, and I would really, really not want to see any of their work.servus wrote:I´m christian and I know that I have to tolerate it but I don´t like it.

DLizzie - It is true that many people died by crucifixion long before Jesus was born. As an example, when the Romans crushed the slave revolt led by Spartacus, the Romans crucified over 6,000 of Spartacus's followers.DLizzie wrote:Historically speaking,Christianity came along many centuries after crucifixion became an accepted form of punishment for a variety of crimes. Jesus was not that unusual in the regard of having suffered through crucifixion; I have never understood why Christians make such a big deal about that.

Alice - Wow! I thought that I might be uncomfortable watching someone tied to a cross with ropes. But to watch someone actually nailed to a cross... "scary" and "intense" is probably a major understatement.AliceInBondageLand wrote:I know several lifestyle femdoms who have crucified male submissives FOR REAL. Unfortunately, since there is blood involved you will never see a commercial video featuring it. Had to be there. Scary, intense, needs medical training!!!
