Caravaggio's The Flagellation of Christ
Radio Dentata host Tiki Pavelle had a guest on her show, “Brutally Honest Interviews,” who posited that Christianity is a “confirmation” of the BDSM lifestyle.
Consider John Deckenbach, CEO of the sadism & masochism content provider for adult websites, Dungeon Corp. In an interview with Tiki, he says Christians need to get a life. They worship a naked man nailed to a cross, bleeding and suffering who’s been flogged. And they believe his pain washes away their sins.
”That is the thesis of bondage,” he says. ”That putting someone else through pain fixes you.”
According to John, Jesus is a masochist. ”He suffered and died for other people” and God is a sadist. If that weren’t enough to make his point John went on to say ”Read the book of Job. God is the master. Job is the slave.”
Job loses everything including his faith, endures a huge amount of suffering then comes back around to God. God rewards him, giving Job everything he had before several times over.
”It’s almost like what we do in an S&M scene. Punish, punish, punish,” continued John. ”The slaves get upset because they’ve been put through a regimen of pain and suffering. Then you give them pleasure. Suddenly, there’s your happy slave again.”
