Are there any Christians on the forum? :-)

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if this is an appropriate place to post this - apologies if not, but i'm wondering if there are any Christians in the forum? I really need to connect with some Aspies Christians.
Thanks

Perhaps you should look for aspies on a christian forum as well?

Try HERE. I'm a Christian btw...

Isn't that deliberately segregating yourself into fixed crowds similar to race, gender, age, etc? That's how I see it

By that definition, isn't this very website guilty of the same thing. It's a web community designed for individuals (and parents of those) with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, PDDs, and other neurological differences.

You've pointed out one part without looking at the entire picture..

This site is for those who want to feel welcome instead of a forum where they could be excluded because of social cues missed, etc. Also for those who want advice on this site from others who have experiences on either side of Autism, Aspergers, PDD, AD(H)D

I am a Christian.

I think what is meant is ... that the person wants to talk "shop" (ie: Jesus) in a positive way. I see no reason why that would be exclusionism but it would probably be better worded that way in the title.

I'd be happy for all religions to have a thread where they only talk positive about their religion and people who don't believe or don't agree simply don't bother posting there.

Sounds fair to me.

LOL, I'm sure there are but probably not the best place to attract them since this forum tips in the favor of atheism.

Why so you can all carrying on in a safe little bubble of delusion away from people posting awkward scientific facts.

Only just, and if you add the spiritual agnostics to the religious side the atheists are well outnumbered

Personally, I think you get more visitors of my own faith... theoapathy. That's to say, they would visit but they just can't be bothered. If this forum gets 9,000 visitors, it's still short of half of WP who just can't be bothered. I'm only here because I'm not entirely theoapathetic... I'm also part Jedi.

Know what's funny, I've had atheists accuse me of being religious or delusional just for defendng people have a belief system. I don't know if it's just me and I'm not saying all atheists are like this, but I do find it ironic when an atheist attacks a person who openly adimits they believe in something. I mean to me it looks just as bad as fundmentals going around telling you your soul is damned for all eternity because you don't share or have the same faith as them.

I don't know, that's just how I look at it.

^ Yeah I know i was being bad but i just couldn't resist the jibe. Maybe i should restrain myself more but unfortunately the majority of religionists really give me the s**ts. There are a few on this forum who do have a good handle on reality and I respect those. The idea that WP should have a separate and critic free area for religion annoyed me. The whole idea that religion should be free from critical analysis is wrong, and to have a special little space on WP for religion just adds to that

I think it's wise not to assume until an argument is given.

Not everyone I've of faith act imcompentent or dogmatic. I think one aspect that bothers me the most especially in abrahamic beliefs is when they infringe their beliefs onto the human rights of other people. This is where I draw the line whenever a discussion of religion turns into a land of laws. I think this is the most frustrating aspect especially whenever that said person denies something that has actually been proven. But again, I can't assume everyone of faith be it christian, pagan, baha'i, hindu, buddhist, mysticist, jew, muslim, or whatever is of a character I personally despise. The more I read about other religious aspects and beliefs the more complicated it is given that not all religions agree to one extent or another even in the same branch.

And yes, I can also be cynical and I've gotten in trouble by many people of faith on some sites. I think it's healthier not to take yourself so dang serious all the time....

Assuming Buddhists are not atheists.....
