Do most aspies like offending people with religious talk?

He was an embodyment of God that was born into human flesh after the Big Bang.
Of course it has to do with Jesus!

What period of Herod Jew would know about the big bang?

Pathetic strawman. Atheists simply do not believe in God, this is not the same as saying we know all the secrets of the universe. It is the believers in god who appear to do this, and they do this with ZERO evidence. The truth is no-one knows, but the data we have points to reasonable hypothesis which may or may not be correct, the God hypothesis has no basis in reason, yet folk like yourself talk about god as if he is a proven immutable fact.

Not fact my friend, hope.

Wow, again the breathtaking arrogance. Do you really think that any atheist hasn't already considered these very basic ideas?


I'm confirming that science is comfortable with ambiguity, and religion makes absolute claims to Truth despite the complete absence of evidence, yes.

Oh? Is that what you put on your grant applications?

Lots of scientists - even most of them - like science fiction. As for 'frufru' and 'decadence,' could you be more specific? Vaccines? Hydrofracking? Heart transplants? Childhood leukemia being basically curable?

Science hasn't been any religion's child since before Darwin.

fixed those quote tags for you.

fixed that one, too.

whether or not bronze-age Middle Easterners knew about the big bang has nothing to do with your claiming the origin of the universe as the sole property and raison d'être of Christianity.

People on the spectrum may be blunter than NTs, for reasons which should surprise nobody here. Bottom line though, whatever you hold to be true or sacred, there are people who disagree and will tell you so. If this offends you, perhaps the Internet is not for you.

I can tell your just getting mad, so I'll stop. I've gotten what I needed to out of this thread. Thanks for your input!

I just learned something, I think these religious leaders in larger churches are often narcissist. In my direct encounters with such people, I personally have found its impossible to have any kind of meaningful conversation or intellectual exchange of any kind. They only try to assign blame and covertly attempt to push down.

Still there are many interesting enjoyable people in such people in these churches. Just because the church pastor is the ultimate self centered user does not mean everyone in the church is bad, far from it, most are good people.

You speak truth.

I can't remember if I've been on this thread before.

The character God/Jesus fits the definition of a narcissist, this is described in the link below. So when these religious peddlers say with conviction "to be more Christ like" they are not kidding as they literally speak of themselves.

And this, the self-deprecating narcissism among Christian leaders. This guy is thinking the same thing as I am. As you get higher up the food chain in the Christian leadership world narcissism becomes the rule not the exception.

I go to outpatient rehab now. It's AA/12 step based so the level of religious studies is high. Almost every other sentence is God this or Higher Power that. To an atheist like myself it's very annoying. It feels like religion is being forced down my throat. The facilitator says, "Try a substitute, like a tall tree." I think that's ridiculous. A substitute name changes nothing. I don't believe their is a higher power. It's that simple.

I'm sorry they are forcing this down your throat, I would hate it if someone tried that on me. I would care less if it was an optional place to go, but if I HAD to go somewhere that was using religion to make me feel uncomfortable I would snap. I am forced to go to church every Sunday when my parents want to, and I love it there because at this particular church everyone is super awesome there. I have heard awful, scary horror stories of religious places that are just flat out awkward and uncomfortable for some people, if I grew up in a place like that I would probably have a lot of bad stereotypes for religion.
When I move out I am probably going to at least six churches and figure out which one is the best choice for me, so I don't ruin 1/7 of my week for the rest of my life.
I have literally been to a church where the speaker YODELED 50 PAGES OF THE BIBLE in an old, squeaky, sad voice. Each service was like, 4 hours or something. I felt like crying, it was boring, and there was no Sunday school for kids, it was hell in church. I don't honestly understand why some people are so attached to crappy churches that YODEL the bible when they could go to a church where everyone is nice to each other and accept each other, and you actually learn something that was practiced and well presented.

I can think of nothing worse than getting a bible forced down my throat.

Even one of those little Gideon ones they have in hotels and stuff.

Mind you I ran out of Rizla once and tried to use a page out of one of those little books.

It tasted like s**t.
