lol Jesus Christ typical aspie story. God sent the world their king, someone who was better than them in every way, and they murdered him rather accept his knowledge and authority. He was kind and sincere and truthfull and did nothing but generous things and they tortured him for it

Even barring sociopolitical/ideological differences, I rather resent him being referred to as my king when I wasn't alive when he was. It's like calling Abraham Lincoln our president. Furthermore, I wouldn't have voted for him.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings! I know, obvious joke, but I just couldn't resist.

And if Jesus is our absolute superior, then I'd like to see Jesus arm-wrestle Herakles. All kidding aside, I don't like the way you seem to be implying that having Asperger's is better than being neurotypical. That's just the first step before deciding that neurotypical people should be segregated from us, and then it's a hop, skip, and a jump away from practicing genocide. Have you learned nothing from the past travesties of humanity?

Kind, sincere, truthful, and generous, is he? Well I'll give you that, but I'm sure the Romans took more issue with his blasphemy (I.e., claiming to be the son of God) than they did with his giving fish and bread to people. Basically, he broke the laws of the land and was punished for it. Civil disobedience should be acceptable in any civilized society, but come on, this is circa 20 AD Rome we're talking about here.

Hallelujah. Praise the lord.

Leaders don't like being told that someone is better than them.

it was meant to be a flippant remark, comparing the crud and abuse many as endure for having done
nothing wrong to a historical figure.

I bet I really should keep this to myself, but as long as you know I was unsure whether or not to tell you that I was not trying to be deliberately rude. But in my opinion it seems rather pretentious to even suggest that any great person is an aspie. It is probably pretentious to assume anyone is an aspie because of how they behave, but it is more problematic with great people. It creates possibly artificial concepts about the relationship between aspergers and how people behave. Like, "Jesus is a great example of an aspie, wise, intelligent, kind, and tormented." Like we're all slightly like jesus. Or We're all slightly brilliant as einstein, or a dozen other people that have gotten on "do you suppose such and such is an aspie?" posts. Or we're all slightly like some such convicted killer. Misunderstood, antisocial, behaved weird.

Now I understand that you could make the statement that we're all slightly like everyone, including hitler, jesus, and homer simpson, but the extra meaning people get out of claiming great people we're "one of them" creates potentially deceptive and false parallels. Bothers me..

i actually havent lightened up, its an old joke that somehow popped into my head. it was an attempt at humor, it failed. i was not actually flippant i was attempting be flippant.

I know what you mean and were trying to say...er, well, at least I think I do, I don't mean to sound presumptious or anything. It's so true....it seems like the really nice, good, kind people (oh, and I'm not speaking in terms of AS or non-AS here, I'm talking about everyone at once) get the most crap from other people, especially if they happen to be eccentric or think outside the box or challenge the status quo in any way. One of the nicest, kindest, gentlest people I know was actually bullied quite a bit in junior high and high school, if you can believe it.

Same crap, different millenium

But Jesus was and is the Son of God and while the Romans and Jews didn't believe him, all he said was truth, he does not lie.

We do not know whether or not Jesus is an Aspie.

I would say he was Aspie by the simple fact he didn't lie. Honesty is not a trait found in N.T.'s

Jesus encompasses Us all AS's or NT's for He was all for all of mankind in the end.
