I have a theory about why God created Aspies.

Post Reply New Topic

From what I understand the literalist interpretation of the bible started in the US around the 1800's. I could be mistaken at the time and exact place but it started relatively recently. That isn't to say that people before did not take the story as literal but that it was open to interpretation and allegory.

I myself, don't understand the allegory, or metaphor, of that story.

An argument against the literal interpretation of the creation story handed down by God, only disproves the theology of those who take it literally.

I'm not godly, and I'm not anti-Aspie, but I don't think we need to feel like god has glamorized us in some way, be it good or bad.

We're people too. We weren't made 'special'. We're only 'special' in the sense that we (possibly) are a minority versus the majority (NT).

NTs are just as good as Aspies, and we were all created the same. Different flaws, but inherently the same outcome. Sometimes, I wish aspies would get off their high horses.

I take it that you either didn't notice, or are unaware of the intent behind, the smilie at the end of my post?

i have a theory on why i'm here. and it has nothing to do with god
more like my parents were hot for each other and tada, somehow i came into existance

Well, there goes my attempt to cry and create a positive vibe in this whole forum.

All I see is "Autism Sucks" or "I wish I hadn't existed because of autism."

To all the negative whinners:

Fine, just go buy some chemically ground up poison and off yourself if you really feel that way. It would just prevent your respiratory system from delivering oxygen to your tissues. However,I know you won't! You want things to get better. Well, guess what? With a crappy attitude, a proper plan, and CARTLOADS of hard work...things are not going to get any better!! !

Doesn't it seem like all aspies are "Half empty" kind of people


In before "Look who's calling the Kettle black...

That was the first thing I thought about this thread. There's a great tendency in Aspergers / Autism to feel like you're special, it feels like the only way to get self esteem in a world where otherwise you'd have no purpose and often feel rejected. I'm always mindful of the "special" thoughts but I still believe I have some talents I can use to help others and myself, I just haven't found out where they're actually useful yet.

People who say they wish they didn't exist or were never born are depressed. They might have autism, or they might not. It just means they have hit a low point in their lives and are feeling really down. It's not about whining or being negative.

Agreed.

If the results of a paternity test did show that god was my father then I want to be a fascist dictator just like how George Bush Sr. did for George W. Bush. If he won't get me that then I want a really bitchen camero.

If there is a god.... then I'm in big trouble when the end comes lol!

God had nothing to do with it. Autistics exist because of genetic variation in the human genome.

My opinion is that God gave me the special gift of autism. I am able to play musical instruments without lessons and in little time due to autism. I am a talent savant. I play many of these musical instruments in churches. I give thanks to God for this gift (the gift of autism).

I do love how this turned into a religious semi flame war.

I am pretty sure autistics were around before the invention of god by the Jews (They were the first to worship the god the Christians worship) Who knows maybe some guy with Aspergers created the notion of a god to control the NTs better.

God doesn't exist, dipshit

Yeh, I know. This is why I openly despise fundamentalists as well as quite a few atheists and I can name a few in real life. It really is sad when both side resort to child-like idiocy. Right now I wish this phrase I am gonna make was so damn true...

If you have to be a dickhead and insult people you openly disagree with simply because of being a theist/athiest.... some planet filled with sentient life suffers from complete extinction of all life on it.

so yeah. The "arguers" may call it a "debate", but all it really f*****g is is a wangst-fest.
