| Eccentricity =! Asperger's. Jesus Christ, I am so sick of repeating this over and over again. You've never met the guy, you don't have the training to diagnose him.

Often a fear I had said or done something to upset someone and intrusive thoughts about the kinds of things I mig... |

What about the Eastern philosophies
Hindu Buddha Tao Zen? etc
Such that I am God?
There are several other belief systems which do not fit your criteria either
Pagan, Satanist, Spiritualist? etc
I can't take part in your poll
