I can't figure it out but a part of me feels that my grandma never drank the kool-aid. I also think that my grandpa never drank it either. The rest of my family on the other hand I think they have.

I don't really fit in with my own family 95% of the time. Also until this year I never knew that I was on a different level of thinking then them. Well I kind of knew it but I don't think it ever really thought about it. I think that makes them fear me. I question ever thing even my own faith. I do it because well I fallow the rules just becasue...I really don't care about them half the time.

Some of the rules are jokes and make no sense. The other half they break most of the time any ways and it still makes no sense.

you know...I once told my Dad that something most preacher and ministers say is partially true:

when you ask them why we've never experienced the presence of a higher being face-to-face, they often say "their presence would be far too great for you to handle", and most humans go about their merry way assuming "nah, I could totally handle it".

Well, while I don't believe in the omnipotence of a higher being, I understand entirely what those preachers and ministers mean; basically, there is indeed something to it:

We Autistic people can comprehend things--if we chose to, that is-- that would basically make most peoples' heads explode.

If they can barely seem to comprehend the ideas we're able to--no matter how simply we present those ideas--how could they ever honestly handle some of the greatest, most magnificent & beautiful ideas that minds could possibly come up with? For that matter, if an omnipotent being really did exist, how could their minds handle it? I don't think it could.

This is why I still believe that we Autistic folk are the "prototype" stage of the next step in evolution.

i am becoming aware of a divergence of viewpoint regarding the phrase "don't drink the kool-aid." some of us here are using this phrase to mean that one shouldn't adopt the NT society's brutal social darwinism, while others [especially on PPR] are using it to suggest just the opposite.

PPR? What's that?

When I advise against "drinking the Kool-Aid", I mean don't let yourself get caught up in the scams and worries--that does obviously include the whole social thing-- that NT society always tries to push; we have the mental capability to be above all of that, work around it, and be extraordinary.

And hell, we might as well be extraordinary, cause we sure weren't dealt the cards to be ordinary. :wink:

In fact...I kinda like it that way.

:wink: :wink:

well, i am glad that you at least have the capability to be great, but it is all i can do just to survive. i no longer have the energy to even pretend to drink any koolaid.
