My Asperger's and my atheism

I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome; I am also a long time atheist. I discuss both in this video.

The book I am referencing is:

I wonder about Jeffrey sometimes. He's an aspie and a major christian. He also believes in a lot of metaphysical type things for which there is no actual evidence.

What's your take on government? I found that my journey to atheism continued into an anarchistic philosophy. If you check out a user named Stefbot, he has some really good conclusions that I came to before I even found his channel and message.

@PluralOfEverything Yeah, I saw that on his FB profile, don't know what's up with that. Actually surprised how many religious folk are in our little ASPIE group. Glad to finally meet a fellow atheist. What's especially odd about Jeffrey is he's a computer guy, and among science-type people, it's the computer scientists that tend to be the least religious of all, I have heard.

 A major aspect of Asperger's is the reduced ability to envision another person's

perspective when interacting with others which hinders ones ability to perceive

others motives. This trait of getting a mind's eye view of another's perspective

has a lot to do with envisioning and believing in a personal god. Asperger's

tend to not believe in a personal god because they lack this conceptualization

of others minds which is a basis of a personal god(mind) belief.

I am a 20 year old aspie, and I was diagnosed in my forth grade, if I remember correctly. Up until a few months ago, I identified as christian. Though my upbringing was somewhat secular, my parents did expose my brother and I to religion enough that I, for many years, believed in god. I have long had a fairly naturalistic worldview and my beliefs varied from those of other christians. In my second semester of college, I finally took a critical look at my beliefs. I am now an atheist.

@locdogg18750 Was the abuse sexual? That can really mess a person up.

@PluralOfEverything Did you use the internet to diagnose me the same way you self-diagnosed your mental retardation? I will pray for you that you get better.

@AllNightGaming It's not a disorder. It's just a different way of thinking. In fact, it's a much more clear way of thinking. You should be patient because the bible commands you to be patient. If it's not in your holy book, you should not do it or think it.

@locdogg18750 Your emotions cause you to lash out in pathetic ways like this. We can see that it comes from deep seated pain. You're ashamed of something that happened to you in your past. Someone hurt you. Probably a family member. Find a healthier way to deal with your feelings or they will continue to rule your life and make you look like an idiot.
