Any Christians with Aspergers?

God use to be the only reason I got out of bed in the morning but now there is no reason to get out of bed in the morning,

Christians are a great example of the love (or lack there of) of Christ.

Christian Aspergian. To me, this seems like an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp, rock opera or military intelligence. In that sense, I guess I'll have to accept the possibility of a Christian Aspergian. It just seems like an oxymoron to me because, by nature, Aspergians are proof freaks. We take nothing with a grain of salt. While other kids are playing make believe with their toy cars, an Aspergian would be more interested in lining the cars up or taking it apart to see what makes it work.

I am a Baptist and an Aspie. Also, I believe that Romans 13 means that we have to follow the Constitution. As the government is so out of bounds here, I think the only reason that war isn't justified yet is that the Bible says to seek peace as much as possible and there is one peaceful way left: an Article V state convention to amend the Constitution by going around Congress.

I'm not American, but am very curious to know why you say the US Government is out of bounds regarding the Constitution?

Here ( http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/10/ ... ights.html ) is a good description of what I believe was suggested by DinoMongoosePenguin. The Constitution for the United States of America is practically destroyed after decades of legislative, executive and judicial "interpretations" which contradict original intent (by the way, original intent was a Democratic Party idea).

I render grudgingly unto this federal government what I must, and nothing else.

Thank you for that informative link, AU! I didn't know it was so bad. But at least now I have a context.

I don't know whether I'm Christian or not. If you ask the Pagans, I am. If you ask the Baptists, I'm not.

By the strictest definition-- one who believes all other religions are false-- I am not a Christian.

By a more liberal definition-- one who believes that there is one God and in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of that singular God-- then yes, I can comfortably consider myself a Christian.

I do not attend any church or other religious gathering. Asperger's is a disorder of social communication. Church (coven, circle, grove, synagogue, whatever) is a social gathering under religious auspices. I make them uncomfortable, a fact that is farther compounded by the fact that I am female (Christianity, at least conservative Christianity, places much more rigid expectations on female social behavior, and I interact more like a man).

I can read my Bible, pray to God, and do anything else that I do alone, in my home or under a tree somewhere.

They cannot enjoy their social gathering if I am present.

Ergo, I have forsaken gathering together with other believers.

Old thread back from the grave!

I am also a Christian Aspie. Love theologizing. Would be happy to connect with other Christian Aspies.
