Here we have insight into how monotheism works. Censor the opposition. Demand "Respect" for your viewpoints without a shred of evidence to back up your statements..................Hmmm I wonder when "a" will burn me at the steak for blasphemy. :roll:

WhoTF gave you mod. powers?? You have no right to say that people can't criticise christianity on this thread or any other. If you don't like freedom of speech then move to a theocracy like Saudi Arabia. Join the morality police so you can behead people for looking at pictures of naked women.

OK...so, the guy that thinks he may see the hand of God at work around him may now go quietly sit in the corner and babble to himself...I see. Oh well.... :D

That's the issue. People like documentaries about these people so they can look at people worse off then them. If they made one about you after you reached breaking point and mentioned AS we'd all lose LOTS of face.

Oh, now I am seeing REALLY clearly...now I am an embarassment to the entire Aspie commiunity...OK...thank you for clearing that up for me....but I guess the Satanist over at AFF is OK though, he's cool.

I don't understand what the problem here is.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people that thinks that we all have 'god shaped holes'. And that we need to fill it with god and all that.


The original poster has a right to say these things.


Just like everyone else has the right to say that they disagree. Which is completely warranted. But I noticed a lot of hostility which I feel was unwarranted.

At least the LaVey Satanist is somewhat sane.

I've been obsessed with dynamics, for at least a few years now..

I realise the infinite nature of things through this obsession.

Some might call this god. I generally don't, but I would accept someone who did.

Do you SEE visual patterns? Or do you see patterns in the movement and change of things?

What is insanity is a good question here.. For when my cousin tells me the corner of the room is shrinking, I have to accept certain self evident truths, and accept that his reality isn't real, what he is seeing is either something pushed into his subconcious, or something he is deciding to see somehow, or something sending a different, or wrong message.

He's very smart, but because of what he sees, he can't work, or ever fulfill one goal to an end, but maybe he will grow past it, through it, or with it.

Who are we to judge? You can't question ones faith! By definition faith has the power to defy reason.

Ones with faith... You can't question ones reason!

I am NOT schizophrenic, I was misdiagnosed in 1993, and subsequently re-diagnosed as an Aspie.

The patterns I see are not visual...they are patterns, synchronisms, and correlations in the information space around me. Individually they could easily be dismissed as coincidence and that's that. But over the last 14 years, they have become so prevalent and so pronounced that I have no choice but to accept that they are real and are external to myself.

Taken together and in context, they seem to carry information of an intelligent origin.

Now, I know that seeing patterns in information is someting that some Aspies report. I am pretty sure I am not alone. Who is to say they really are not there? My mind can do amazing things within my special interest areas, like I can be coding in a language I have never used in no time having only skimmed a manual or the help file on it for a few minutes. Given that, how can I say that this other area of my mind is so totally wrong?

Like I was trying to say, you see patterns in the dynamics around you?

I feel a rhythym to my life, every single waking moment a rhythym is driving, building, and changing in the back of my mind, while I think...

I also tend to connect things together, and find much joy in the seemingly infinite connectivity of things.

I didn't say you're insane or schizophrenic.

Life is all dynamics.

All I am doing is telling the truth. And I have found a lot of the people here really offensive (you know who you are.) I have said nothing offensive to anybody at all, and merley suggested that people should not be posting on these forums, if you are going to badmouth christianity, islam or any good religion. By the way for people who don't know I am 18.
I don't really understand, aspies are supposed to be on the same side but this is just stupid.

Personaly, I'm offended by your sugestion that I should'nt post here.

None of the religions you mentioned are good. Monotheism has killed, maimed or oppressed more people than any other blight humanity has ever faced.

I agree... pull you head out of your butt, look at the light of day and realise the truth.

Christianity is a sick, perverted, man-made religion.

BTW, If you think I'm merely "bashing" christianity by saying that, I'll back it up with biblical quotes to prove what a psycopath Jehova and Jesus are.

a, I'm sure you're a very kind person, and I appreciate your relative openmindedness by including Judaism and Islam on your list of religions that should be respected, but you have got to lighten up. There are many sides to an argument, and yours is not necessarily "the truth."

Also, you have one glaring inconsistency in your argument. You say that not all Aspies are the same, yet you say that we should all be on the same side. Which is it?

The world is a very diverse place, and you should learn to tolerate, if not respect, the beliefs of others, even if you believe they are wrongheaded and backwards.

Some people here seem to have made religion, either the propagation of it or the scorn of it, a major part of their lives. But there are others, like me, to whom religion does not matter. Sure, God, or Allah, or Krishna may exist, and they may be watching over me, but I don't care.
