Some people genuinely think their religion can "cure" anything, autism included.

Its sad and claiming those things can sometimes make things harder for people suffering from those issues, but I don't think people are really "horrible" for thinking those things. Just ignorant and maybe self-delusional.

Never forget Hanlon's razor.
Yeah, that makes sense, but Butch is not a good person regardless lol.
He’s such a people pleaser and yet at the same time he’s super resentful to do many different kinds of people. I want to see him blacklisted.
Tbh, he just straight up blacklisted himself.

Kinda wanna throw my two cents in on this topic, but I realize that what I would say would piss off quite a few people in here.

I get that feeling a lot. S'why I don't partake in these kind of discussions.

Hoo boy


The bad ones are EXTRA spicy.
Am not Christian but got a Christian family.

Can confirm. I've met a few, and goddamn I wonder what rolls through these people's minds sometimes.

This is why I refuse to use the word when referring to my beliefs. The connotation is too negative.

Then there's the fact I don't just blindly believe everything a pastor/the Bible says as fact because I'm aware of human error.

Hell, my best friend and girlfriend is bi, so to condemn her for just being herself would be wrong. Instead, I love and support her and all the LGBTQ community.

I just think the people who hate on you for a generalization of everyone who follows your religion aren’t worth much talking to. Even if you tried reasoning with them and were polite, they’d still try to argue with ignorance and hatefulness and stuff, not seeming to even try to understand (though sometimes they may be cool). Same with the people who follow Christianity (and religions with similar stuff) yet act like bad people and shove it down others’ throats; don’t listen to them, they’re not even following their own religion by doing that (and of course aren’t being good people in general either, y’know, I’m just sayin’).

Not gonna lie tho all the bad hypocrites and the people generalizing us do bother me...but I know I shouldn’t let them...really, all the hateful hypocrites and whoever on both sides are just being the opposite of big-brain.

Since we're on the topic of religion, may I introduce you to our lord and savior?

He's a really cute newt with neat typing. That makes him worthy of worship. My logic is infallible.

After weeks of procrastinating, I finally finished recording the lines for the YouTube video I'm working on! Now to get all the footage, background music, and edit it all together, going off the rather bold assumption the audio clips are even good enough to be used...:lol:

That’s something that always has bothered me honestly. I’m religious and I have autism, so yeah the people in this world that are saying that can step off.

So yeah.


Calling it.



This is the week.


If I'm wrong, well, it was a 50/50 chance anywho..... well, not quite. Guess they could throw an absolute curveball and drop it between the 28th-30th... that'd suck.

Oh Mechonis, Seven is soooooooooooooooooo fun to playyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I love them already, I survived battle with like 7 mechons at the same time thanks to their crazy agility, double attack & critical attack healing & managed to topple lock some unique monster really easily with Dunban & Reyn. I even already unlock their extra skill tree!

I can't wait to unlock all the good stuff.

I'm playing through Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II.

It's not bad but not great either.

I cooked spaghett in the dark and it tastes pretty good.

Blind spaghett challenge completed.
Everyone know that DARKNESS is the secret ingredient that make everything better.

I'm a little late but I'll throw my two pennies for religion.

I live in a country that had a low level conflict over two branches of Christianity and reunification and all that. I've went to a Catholic school and disowned a parent over some of his beliefs.

I become atheist at 13 after watching some space documentaries and after seeing how violent planets and stars form, I realised a God couldn't do that.

Although I do think sometimes if their some sort of fates hand guiding me. And what's after death though.

Some people genuinely think their religion can "cure" anything, autism included.

Never forget Hanlon's razor.
I've guessing you heard about the ropeworms and the bleach that someone used to cure their child of autism but instead almost killed them? I hate hearing about the cure for autism having it myself.

I've unfortunately had to privilege to meet some crazies of religion on both sides of the Atlantic including one believing a certain leader was connected to God.
Its the one's who connected it to Politics give some of religious a bad name.

This is why I refuse to use the word when referring to my beliefs. The connotation is too negative.

As someone who has friends with different sexualities, it annoys me that people hate on them.
And honestly its like race. Why do the hell do some strangers get angry or attack people because of their colour or sexuality.

Learn some humility I say.

Am Christian. Can also confirm.

Some people genuinely boggle my mind.

I would make a joke about how your so awful for procrastinating if it weren’t for the fact I’ve been procrastinating a bit myself. LOLLL I need to make an animation for Guh-Huzzah! Guh-Huzzah! , but the icy cold hand of voice acting panel videos on YouTubes keeps dragging me in. LOL Two scenes are done though, (in a span of 3 days I think?), so nice.

I'm gonna ask why here.

Ignoring any specific god or religion, why can't a god have the power to create planets or stars in that way?

If an all powerful being exists, surely that would be in their power.

why not think that

We are all just finding our own truths reluctantly crouched at the starting line our engines pumping and thumping in time

I meant to get philosophical but i think I just ended up quoting a song

that has happened to me far to many times than I would like to admit

and you know what This time I’m going to change, I’m going the distance, I’m going for speed

DANGIT

To be fair, the greek gods aren't even the most powerful being in their lore. That would be the titans.

They aren't all powerful.

Oh yeah, they did some real bad ****.

The Greeks had a habit of making their heroes and folklore to be flawed in many ways.

A human example would be Jason and Medea turning into... well not good people.

Ironically the nicer Greek gods were the ones who didn't have all that much power.

Just goes to show that power corrupts.

Never forget that arguably Poseidon's most famous piece of artwork is..... really ****ed up, in both its name and what it's showing.

Remember the time when Athena had a temple of virgins and had this one really rad priestess doing rad things, but then Poseidon err.... ruined her credentials to work at the temple. And then Athena cursed her by giving her snake hair and a gaze that turned people to stone even though the priestess didn't do anything wrong? And then later the priestess got killed by some Perseus dude!

Classic Greek pranks!

Poseidon and Athena are assholes and the turning of Medusa into a monster is an utter tragedy.

I feel real bad for her.
