With a church status, you can build a community in places where they don't want to you do anything except have single family homes. And you can have a lot of other various freedoms to make the community work. That's why I suddenly decided I see the light. Praise the lord!

I think if there were enough motivated aspies in a community, they could form a non-profit organization and find a space somewhere to meet. It might be one or two privileges short of a full-blown religion, but there would be no need to invoke the deities to make it happen.
Also, by establishing a religious building, it would interfere with the ability of bars, night-clubs, and other establishments to set up business. Many communities have zoning laws that say no to those adult establishments if they try to locate within 1000 or 1500 feet of schools or churches.
If religion were made part of it, I think there would be too much bickering about doctrines, and that would prevent anything from getting done. It would doom the group!

What I read about what constitutes a church is so wide open that it's why I started wondering about it. However, I never thought how it would effect other zoning laws.
Here's an example of a church that aspies would like. It's called the Church of Reality and their faith is that if it's real, they believe it.

I just read the "Basis of Church Doctrine," and I was more confused than before reading it.

If we started our own church we could write an EVEN MORE confusing doctrine!

What about a Church, place of worship/ faith that sees God through the spectacles of Aspergia?
