twinsmummy20: I do not agre. I belive in Gods mercy so much.

Good man, that God fellow is.

I grew up in a church but because I didn't like some of the rules and opinions of others (and had no idea how they would take my dx) I left. Also was mocked quite a bit there for challenging peoples opinions. And I kept fighting my political views with 'spiritual' ones, though I never grasped what spiritual meant.

I believe in the big bang theory and evolution now and love science more than anything so probably won't return to the church. I even test them by saying I'll come back only if I can believe in parallel worlds because I wanted to be free to believe in anything, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

They laughed. They failed my test.

People can believe what they want to believe as long as they let me believe what I want to believe. I still believe in God because it's hard not to after spending 11 years in a Pentecostal church and before that being born into a Christian family who went to another domination of church.

You left out "Aspies ARE Gods".

God has so much mercy that he sent His Son to die on the cross for my sins and the sins of the world. God showed us the ultimate mercy. He is long suffering towards us that NONE should perish, but have everlasting life. Unfortunately the fact of the matter is that some people will reject God and cling to the world and things of the world,Its sad and terrible and I wish it wasnt so, but unfortunately God can not have fellowship with people who didnt accept him.

LOL, god, if s/he indeed exists, sits there and watches millions of people and other creatures suffer everyday, not doing anything to change it even though this god is meant to be omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent. If there's a god, that god is sadistic.

Take it to the PPR forum. This particular "observation" has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years and is easily refuted, primarily by abandoning anthropomorphic characterizations of entities of sufficient scope to be considered deities. But that argument does not belong on this thread.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and I am a devoted Episcopalian.

I love theology but find theological debates with unthinking non-believers to be boring and repetitive. They don't progress in their arguments or consider opposing information, so they just end up repeating themselves ad nauseum. I might as well debate abortion with a Roman Catholic as to debate God's omnipotence with an Atheist. Both scenarios provide the same headache. When someone thinks people aren't too narrow on this forum to attack a believer for having beliefs, they haven't been paying attention. That's about all that does happen. I find myself feeling very frustrated, especially when people try to claim that Aspergers automatically means a specific way of thinking, believing or acting. Anyone educated in Autism should know better.

I could say the same thing about the entire Bible

And I could say The FSM wrote it. But saying things is easy.

Ai_Ling: That was probably one of the first questions I had about Christianity, I probably asked it when I was eight or so. What I have found is that there are several theories on that. There is a verse that says something to the effect of "Nature tells of God, so that no one has an excuse" And another verse that says that there will be nations and people that we don't know of up in heaven. I think that although that believing Christ is the only way to be saved, you don't have to know his name for that to happen. You pretty much just have to know you can't do life on your own, and surrender to God's mercy to save you. And there have been several documented cases of unreached people groups being told about God and Jesus and them saying something along the lines of "I always knew that was true, but now I have a name for it" Kind of like how I always knew I was an aspie, but now I have a name for it, lol.

And that'd make just as much sense as saying a guy who was born from a virgin, died then came back to life, and flew into the f**king sky had anything to do with it.

In fact, I say this is what really happened:



Makes every bit of sense the bible does.

It's dumb how self-proclaimed Atheists spend all their time trying to convert people but then bad-mouth Christians for the same. They make Atheism into just another religion with blind zealous fervor and disrespectful rhetoric. That's not how real Atheists like to conduct themselves and I've often discovered that real atheists are ashamed of these people calling themselves Atheists. Richard Dawkins is to Atheism what Pat Robertson is to Christianity.

Atheism is a religion. You have to have faith to believe there is no God when you look around this world.

Atheism, by definition, is not a religion. It is a lack of belief. I wouldn't go all Bill O'Reilly about how the world works. Science is a friend.

That is a contemporary definition, but not the only one. It is one often used to avoid the fact that lack of belief is still a form of belief. It is impossible to lack belief because you must at some point stop gathering data and decide. This means decisions are made on incomplete data and you must ultimately believe that your process for deciding is of sufficient validity to result in a preferred outcome while still not knowing all the possible variants.

Atheists believe, they just believe differently.


This thread is doomed. It shall be sent to PPR hell soon. I'm surprised that it went 5 pages without being moved.
