Christianity and S/M

[Guerino Calemine]

Someone please explain this alleged "sado-masochistic character structure" 
of Christianity.  (Or as CB might put it, the Christian nature of 
sadomasochism.)  I'm highly skeptical of this notion (suspect it comes from 
a perversion/stereotype of Christianity - or Christendom - and not based on 
"actual" Christianity, especially as enunciated by St. Paul), but I'm 
willing to hear you out.  So go ahead.
