Blending in doesn't cut it, a. I want power.

Ahh, I'm finding beauty in this dissonance.

Preach what you will everyone, if you can take the other side of the equation into your point you'll find others much more receptive however.

I'm not preaching to people, all i'm doing is merely telling the truth from my own experiences as an aspie. I have aspergers, but if people can't accept me as a christian then i guess this isn't the right place for me.

Then accept that some of us don't care to mime neurotypicals and actually dig feeling like space aliens.

a you're definately accepted here!

You can be a Christian and I'll love and hate you equally!

I was simply pointing out that you must accept others to be accepted yourself that is all.

Oh and, yes I am actually a cute dork :P

Oh, I can accept you as a Christian, a. If that's what gets you through the day, go for it. Bot other people aren't necessarily wanting to hear about it. ;)

(Can you accept me as an atheist?)

I'm not christian, but I'm not atheist either.


I'm an agnostic traveller obsessing over infinity and motion..

Personally I have my own theory, it's actually pretty much albert einstein's Theory of Everything, although I came to my conclusion independantly from this label. It just so happens Einstein and I were thinking alike.
Personally I believe in a mixture of evolution and intelligent design, the alien astronaught theory, albiet in a maltheistic form. "god(s)" were aliens who put us here. "Man was created in god's image", well man was created sociologically to be an evil creature, therefor god (alien creators of man) must be evil. I know this sounds perhaps a bit nihilist, but it's a purely logical based theory. All major religions, I believe, were UFO cover-ups. And, the bloodline of the illuminati was the hybrid race of human/aliens made to be their ambassadors on earth. Though, they look totally human, because our creators likely look just like us.

a, I know your intentions are good, but you have to understand some things.

The alien is a METAPHOR and quite an appropriate one I believe - it is not saying we are aliens, but I am sure many of us have felt that way at one time or another.

It is one thing to state what you believe, but when you try to push it on other people, tell them what's right and essentially 'preach' to them (especially Aspies), they won't take it too kindly. On the other hand, logical, physical, believeable solutions to problems are what we value most.

>>I often pray and thank God, for what he has done for me.<<

I find it sickening how much credit people give God when He does nothing at - did you thank the people who helped you? Did you realise that you yourself are strong? God is the universal placebo. Believe in your own capabilities.

>>I read the bible for guideance, and learnt not to take things to literally.<<

I know these are probably unrelated, but it's funny - reading the Bible and learning not to take things literally - hah the Bible will teach you that lesson alright. :)

>>and now am trying to live my life the best I can as a normal man.<<

We don't take kindly to that kinda talk in these here parts stranger. 'Normal' is the enemy.

I wouldnt say normal is the enemy..


a, if you want to be accepted here as a Christian(and there are many Christians here), you have to accept that some of the others are not Christian, and never will be.

You essentially walked into a room and announced "You all have to change!". People dont come here for that message. Just the opposite. They came here to get away from that.

Talking about Religion is perfectly fine here, Telling people they have the wrong beliefs, or not enough belief isnt.

Thats right.

I'm overwhelmed by the mysteries of life, I feel divinity in the dynamics of all things.. I don't need to credit this to a concious being..

However I can definately respect those that find solace in such thoughts..

Ultimately, believe what you want to believe, but accept that some people turn faith inwards, in order to give and receive outwards in reality.

Turning faith outwards usually seems to result in giving and receiving being internalised, which tends to (not always, no generalising here) result in "believe or you're going to hell" and other such nonsense.

I don't actually care about the possibility of an afterlife (I'll withhold my thoughts that it can be logically eliminated) I have too much to do in this life.

One may see the bible as a book of metaphors, another may see it as the word of god..

One may be wrong, one may be right, but faith eliminates the ability to question does it not? You can't challenge someone that believes in something because the essence of belief defies reason.
