| I am going to have to ask for evidence of this claim. No one I have met who knew I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, many of them you would more than likely very much place in the category you listed, has ever suggested anything of the sort. I currently think it is far more likely this is an ... |

| Why do you say that? Do you need to believe in a deity to know that forcing others to do your will is wrong? And so what if this where true? If you unsupported assertion where true, that does not prove that a deity exist, it would just show that you would want one to exist. It indeed doesn't prove ... |

| I will first claim that what is often called The Government is actually a deceptive Religion. The Government is like this Head-Diety, with Sub-Dieties, the Sub-Dieties being typically called State of [whatever state]. For that matter, not only is it a Religion that poses in the guise of a Secular-I... |

| What group is making this claim that people with Asperger's syndrome should not be able to procreate? While I think it is possible and likely that one exist somewhere, I have yet to encounter one. Unthinking and impulsive social norms - that group. I suppose perhaps that it's not necessarily aspies... |

Such a person might very well believe in Santa Clause! Lol! I do not take kindly to ad hominem assertions and assumptions. Can you justify this asserti... |

| How does this make any sense. Asperger's syndrome has no proven genetic link. Right, but the procreative radar doesn't read that deep - it's based in superficial and perceived social power. A person could have sickle-cell anemia but if they had great sales skills it wouldn't be noticed in the same ... |

| 1) You/person using your forum identity started this thread. I can prove this by looking at the opening post, and seeing that it was yourself who posted/created the topic. 2) You claim to be a person with asperger syndrome. I can prove that you claim to be a person, as you state you are a person. Y... |

| No, we just happen to be enough standard deviations from the mean that the center of the bellcurve has decided we have no right to procreate. Which, in a world where the center of the bellcurve sets the rules and the pyramid structure, is a fair assessment. Thanks to this life I do at least believe... |

| A Christian (or Muslim, or Jew) who worships THE God is a "monotheist" (believer in a single god). An "atheist" is someone who believes in zero gods. If you "believe in the Olympian Gods" then you are not an "atheist" but the opposite: a "polytheist"... |

| I would say yes, if there was free will involved in the beings He created. Or say when humans have created robots/programmes to solve problems for itself. The humans (creators) created the robot and knows what input they used, but the robot still figured out how to solve a problem a human couldn't.... |

| SeeksForTruth, I hope my post on the third page, here , will partly answer that. And perhaps a few of the posts before. It would be interesting to see what you think. I am only asserting that a deity could categorically not exist in a world with natural evil IF and only IF it is supposed to be omni... |

If the alien species had at least human level sentience, and it was not an abusive relationship then yes. Keep in mind that this would only apply to while she was living with me, if she n... |
