pretty much my view-if good becomes too powerful,it will attempt to obliterate evil,and thus,becomes evil.
once evil becomes too powerful,it starts trying to make its lot better,and thus,starts to become good.

What's the point of "being good," then?

Stilkon asking for respect is no different from you asking for respect, Max, the two of you are equal, in fact, we all are.

Ever wonder why both homosexuality and religion are both grounds for protective treatment?

Do you actually not see the difference?

Of course you don't. I can't believe I asked.

Chris, if you can understand it, Tigger just explained a big chunk of it to you.

some MD's will dole out meds without psychiatric diagnosis and followup, especially for things like depression. It is regrettable but true.

But especially in the wonderful world of high-profit HMO's psychiatrists are widely and increasingly reduced to being hit-and-run pill-slingers.

Not everyone with AS has the staggering plethora of comorbid conditions that characterize Yeti's condition. In those cases, there's little a pyschiatrist is going to do for Asperger's. Even if those disorders are present, psychiatrists can throw pills day and night and the patient may still turn out no better off than Yeti.

I'm not anti-meds at all. But for people with asperger's, to set out on a pill quest is seldom a complete answer.

BTW Asperger's is a blessing from God. Not a problem

Is it just me, or did someone just move the goal posts?

Don't try to make sense of it. Just sit back and laugh like the rest of us.

Precisely what I have been doing. When ever will the onslaught stop?

It looks like you've just disenchanted quite a few members here, not limited to GuessWho. You're certainly got a talent for damaging what little reputation you have left here, Yetti.

THAT BEING SAID.. 'KNOWLEDGE IS POWER"��As soon as we close our minds to anything new information , we have begun to dig our own graves.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I haven't often encountered a more closed mind than yours, Yetti.

I don't really have much to say here other than I read parts of the bible a few weeks ago (my sister has to read Genesis as literature for some class), and I found much of it thoroughly disturbing. I don't understand how people can claim to be proud of living their lives according to what this book says.

In particular, I was reading this one part in Leviticus where the god said that a woman who cheats on her husband or a man who sleeps with another man should be stoned to death immediately, and it is perfectly okay to do so because the "blood will be on their own hands". This chapter details strange and inhumane methods of treating sick people, mentrating women, animals, farmers, etc.

They could according to Answers in Genesis, a website that proclaims that everything in the bible is meant to be taken literally. They think the Earth is 6,000 years old and a "global flood" covered even the highest mountain ranges. They even think that Noah brought two of every kind of dinosaur (!) onto the ark.

Most Christians prove that the less you read the bible, the easier it is to believe. Wink

Ya rly.

So the stories about Jesus and the miracles he performed are fictional then?

I can't say whether or not the stories of miracles are fictional...I wasn't there. But am willing except their realness as a matter of faith.

Can you be sure 'the big bang' happened? The evidence suggests that it did--but can you be 100% certain. Yes...no?
If you except that it did happen...you've taken a 'leap of faith'.

Creasy Wrote:

Oh, and what about the Heaven and Hell stuff, is that fictional too?

We create our own heaven; we create our own hell.
But if you mean...the place/places we go when we die...the I couldn't say... as I'm not dead. Tongue

The problem with a lot of us Aspies on the topic of religion/afterlife/faith, is it is hard to see the "symbolism" as such. The tendency is to see things literally and analyze, but not really to understand this "God is in all of us" kind of symbolic thing that might be there, but we can't be sure because we have trouble forming our own interpretations.

I know I can barely see literary/artistic symbolism at all.
