At SisterFlirt.ca we recognize gods/ divinites as allegorical representations of a spiritual reality that is neither quantifiable by, nor reducible to, a modern scientific approach;
We accept that the most reliable means of obtaining collective knowledge is through the application of the scientific method, critical evaluation, and reasoned analysis; while these can not be omniscient;
We reject dogma and ‘divine instruction’ in matters of ethics. We must accept responsibility for our own choices without blaming a deity, vision or ‘holy writing’;
We affirm the worth, dignity and autonomy of the individual, including the freedom of conscience, thought, association, speech, and religion; subject only to minimal limitations as necessary for cohabitation within community;
We declare the sanctity of full bodily autonomy; subject only to minimal limitations as necessary for cohabitation within community;
We affirm the Vows taken in late 1983 as a Toronto Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and never renounced (although updated to reflect the Order has no other active members at this time):
- # I vow to uphold the Spirit of Stonewall, the Destruction of the Closet, and the Celebration of the Body, which bourgeois society has banished to the Valley of Shame;
- # I vow to keep my soul pure by getting regular checkups;
- # I dedicate my spirit to the exploration of love in all its numberless manifestations;
- # I consecrate my being to the delights of sensual and sexual liberation;
- # I undertake to explore the aspects of my desire for frolic and adornment.
