Yep. Catholic theologian aspie here. :-)

(I'm new to this "aspie" thing. Is it just me or does it sound like a dog breed?)

I used to wander the blacktop during recess as a kid, by myself, talking to God. I'm sure that looked weird to the people around me, but I was content. Then I stopped caring about my faith. Then I got a gift full of Catholic trivia. What a way to get my interest! I read that studiously, then turned to other theology books, then got a degree in theology.

Then I tried teaching theology. Bad move. I'm a web designer now, but for a Catholic firm, so I still get to use my theology.

Interesting, Tobias. I thought it was practically impossible to be a Catholic and a theologian these days.

What point?
Perhaps we can fix it.
Though if it is general, i have no idea.

The need to be fixed is what scares me. I quit church because I believe science.

I'm a Christian aspie! I'm Protestant but I like going to Eastern Orthodox churches more. I am interested in Christian apologetics (among other things).

If it is, christianity must be more general one, not by a menmber of them. maybe you feel to much duty to fix christunity with other members for non-christian? maybe, as well or moreover for other members. it is certainly scared.
without duty in our mind.
we must reconstruct so.
perhaps, holy christ's words are too intense and strong in these days.
maybe in BC, a human has less pressure from sciety.
duty, in mind, is working well only in low pressure I suppose.

otherwise, a christian must look for a way to decrease a pressure of society.
but quite many people not only christians might have looked for it for long time and still doesn't seem to be found.

I find it difficult to understand your idiom, Mathlm, but I certainly agree that we must be a real and present opposition to the modern Philistines.

Let's get this thread rolling! Let's have all views represented and defended.

I'm starting to think that 'Spergics are merely egomaniacal control freaks.

Yes, I am a born again Christian (Messianic).

I go through phases where I go to church all the time, collect all the feel bad I can handle, and then don't go anymore for a while and then start again.

Thing is, I never did find a church family. No matter what I join, ministry, service, whatever, I never seem to connect and make friends. Then there are sermons about how family and friends are the most important thing and, well, I don't have any so I feel so alienated I stop going for a while.

I like to think I have a personal relationship with God, I just don't understand why, if He created us to have fellowship with one another, I am unable to connect.

If the purpose of being Christian is some kind of self-indulgence then it aint Christian.

I respect your way of thinking and understand what you are saying.
I am also humble enough to think that if I am not a descendant of some uni-cellular organism or simian, then "something" greater than me put me here, who would deserve my respect. I could very well be wrong, but I also could end up in heaven for eternity.

Pascal's Wager is not completely silly although it does assume an abysmal agnosticism... i.e. you cannot know anything about it all, therefore, go the way of greatest potential benefit.
