Hey everyone! 23m nerd here. I've never done one of these before, but I'm looking to talk those who are Christian and are into feedism. Feedism is rare in itself, but being religious AND into feedism is really rare. I'm Catholic, so it would be really nice to talk to Christians who are also into this kind of thing, but other religions are fine too. I really want to make friends in the community who are also like me, because even though I sometimes interact with feedism communities, I sometimes feel lonely because almost nobody is in my situation. Feels like I'm in a niche within a niche. I'm also really into video games, manga/anime, and motorcycles too.
I'd love to hear about your opinions and thoughts about this topic too, so feel free to share! Hopefully I'm not the only who's into this kind of situation 😅

If i understand the point of your entier post, it is basically asking people if they have this experience where their fetish contradicts their conciousnes? (If thats through the christian faith, or perhaps any faith seems to be of less importance to me)

Nah, you gotta keep the religious element to it, or it doesn't work.
See, your conscience is a reflection of your ethics and morals. Religion takes that and adds supernatural consequences. So, even if you don't have an issue with it, your religion supersedes your personal beliefs on things. So you gotta navigate the two.
You won't get it if you aren't religious or have never been religious. And even then, different faiths or expressions of faith yield different complexities.
OP and I are both Christian, but we are very different flavors of Christian. My Protestant ass has an easier time navigating these feelings because, for my flavor of Christianity, I'm straight so long as I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.
Meanwhile, that Catholic guilt is the stuff of legends. OP grew up experiencing things that I will never fully understand because that's how the Catholic Church rolls.
And don't do your usual "people are stupid" song and dance. That won't fly in this specific situation, and if you try it, I am not protecting you from the angry people that will come your way.

And then there is Jewish guilt...
True that. I'm only ethnically Jewish and only keep Kosher-lite. But I remember looking into things more to feel closer to my culture.
Lemme tell you, I thought Catholics had it bad. I understood why you gotta get special education before your bar/bat mitzvah. Depending on how religious you are, there are a lot of rules and regulations you have to keep.
I also understand why a sizable chunk of Jews are vegetarian or vegan. It makes life so much easier.
When I got baptized, I took a few 15 - 20 classes. Then, there was a rough rehearsal an hour before the ceremony. Nothing crazy.
Mind you, this was at a regular black Baptist church in Texas. Ours is a very food-focused community, with a lot of potlucks and lots of snacks. Hell whenever the pastor talked about heaven, he'd often mention all the delicious food that would be there waiting for us.
