How many blondes does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just one. She holds the bulb and waits for the world to revolve around her.

lol

yeah it's sort of an axiom
I imagine you guys know how I got my username -- always delving in axioms through the years.

How many Neurotypicals does it take to change a lightbulb?


Just one, but they have to wait for an aspie to invent it first.

lol -- another axiom --- very good

EDIT: Not meaning myself -- I mean a real axiom

How many aspies does it take to change a lightbulb?







Just one, but it takes him three months because he has to research all about electrical engineering first.

pretty much

Welp. Glad I missed that convo last night. >.<

Can we please move on to another topic that isn't religion or politics?

Because reading that this morning made me want to bash my head off the wall. And I like you guys, so I don't want to change my mind based on the fact that we have some CRAZY big differences when it comes to those two topics.

Life would suck if there were no differences between all of us wouldn't it?
Sure we can change subjects to anything you want ---- Spirituality is a difficult topic to discuss for most people because they can't quantify it or measure it. It doesn't bother me to talk about spirituality even though my views are radically different from most Aspie heads. I can either talk about it or not talk about it. Whatever subject you want to talk about just let it rip and we will see where it goes. BTW I still haven't forgotten to look up the stuff I told you I would.....I will get to it.

I wish I could "change" most blondes -- Not all of them are that way, just a large amount of them

yeah and therein lies the crux of the entire spiritual/humanistic debate. Why should I "rethink" something that I spent lots of my life thinking about? Also, just so all of you folks know -- I knew full well what type of a reaction I would receive on here. After all, it is the typical reactions one receives from non believers. I also suspected that it would be even worse received on an asperger thread due to the fact that aspies are factual and concrete thinkers as well as scientifically minded (I was partially correct). I am sort of surprised though to see a few members here who are believers, or at least open enough to try to believe. You see folks, the carnal, and limited, thinking of us human beings does not mix well with the things of the spirit. It's not that they are in direct opposition as I have heard others say but rather it is that they are like oil and water and do not mix very well. One of the biggest problems regarding the spiritual realm with us Aspie heads is that we try to think through everything. Carnal thinking and reasoning turn out to be a liability when it concerns spiritual matters. Spiritual/Supernatural things by their very definition are higher than simple carnal things and so it would be foolish to try to reason and understand superior things with simple carnal thought processes. It is also not even logical. Hence the need for a thing known as Faith, which I already explained on here once to @Robert Cromwell .... You cannot "think" and "reason" your way to God or to spiritual health.

Unfortunately, us Aspie folks have been dealt a bad hand in comparison to normal folks because we have zero to little faith as our forte is bent towards reasoning and logic. So, how is it that I can understand this stuff or believe in it if I am an Aspie head?? Actually it is a synergism of things and I wouldn't want to bore anyone. But, let me just say that for myself, in the last 10 years or so, I have had certain spiritual things happen to me that have allowed me to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that what I believe in is quite real and even more real than our limited carnal world and simple understandings. Humans like to puff themselves up with pride and tend to view science/technology as the pinnacle of Man's achievements and the really funny part that I have discovered in the last few years is that it is these very things that man cherishes that are the very things that are quite limited/stunted in comparison to spiritual matters and the intellect of the creator.

Also, let me just state something so that you people do not wrongly assume that I have somehow always been this way.... The fact of the matter is that I spent my entire life being one of the biggest egg heads and admirers of science that I personally have ever seen. I was at a minimum a total agnostic and if something could not be observed, measured, and reasoned about, then it simply did not exist and was a figment of the imagination. I spent my life with my carnal mind stuck off in the clouds and delving in many axioms and derived humanistic theories. Where did all of my logic and reasoning get me? Simply put --- NO WHERE. I was no better and certainly no happier than the average uneducated person who physically toils for a living. People claim that alcoholics can never find happiness and fulfillment in the bottom of a booze bottle but the same analogy applies to science. I could never find happiness in the bottom of a test beaker so to speak. Oh sure I would get "temporal" thrills and happiness from learning something ( I still do) or developing a theory to find out later that I may have been correct. But that is NOT what I am talking about as those are very limited and TEMPORAL feelings of happiness and levity.

So, I wouldn't say that I was miserable being an egg head but I wouldn't exactly say life was fulfilling either. Life was just sort of blah and hum drum and something to be endured. With that said though I discovered that there is another reality that parallels this one in which positive feelings and levity are not merely temporal and that have staying power. But these things my friends is something that each and every one of you will have to find on your own. There is no way possible for me to make anyone believe or know what I know concerning spiritual matters. Each person has to find the path for themselves or reject the path...simple as that. Oh sure, I can get on here now and spew out things like I am currently doing but that is about the limit of what I am able to do. I don't even like to do that because I can no more make someone believe than others can make me not believe.

It's really rather ironic and sort of funny when you consider that I spent most of my life making fun of "dumb religious" people and now I am the one who is telling others about spirituality?? The reality is that I was the one who was dumb.

About all I can tell my friends here who may not believe in Biblical predictions or spiritual things in general is that time will most certainly tell. Heck, I only have one working eye ball and it is easy for me to see how radically fast events that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass right in front of my blind eyes. Of course, I knew many of the scriptures when I was young and never seen many of them coming true unlike today where everything is vastly accelerating towards the ultimate in corruption and distortion.

I can remember when I was a kid and reading about how in the end times that Christians would be beheaded for simply being believers. I used to think how stupid and ......ed of a thought that was because after all how on earth could people in "modern times" behead other people?? It just didn't make any sense to me as there are certainly more modern and destructive weapons other than primitive swords and knives. Plus, in my naive thinking I assumed wrongly that modern man could not be that barbaric. After all we are "modern" and have "supposedly" evolved and put those barbaric acts behind us. So, as usual, I chocked it up to religious fantasy..... Now look at what is transpiring in our current modern age..... You know, the very thing that I once thought sounded like a farce and fantasy.... Christians are being beheaded by the thousands just like it was spoke of in the Bible. The very thing that I thought could never happen in modern times is indeed happening. Of course, this is just one small example as there are scores more that all line up.

The simple fact of the matter is that it matters little how developed or modern societies become because the spiritual aspect of us is not being accounted for. Scholars used to tell me that as mankind evolves and progresses then we will get away from barbarism and other primitive activities.... Well, I hate to bust their intellectual bubbles but nothing could be farther from the truth. Some of the most horrific and barbaric activities have been perpetrated in modern times. Mankind, knowledge may increase and grow but that does not mean his spiritual qualities will improve. If anything we have decayed spiritually.

Anyway folks, enough blabbing on the subject here because you are not going to change what I know to be real and I am not going to change your ideas. But, I felt I did need to tell you that I was once an agnostic and that I know where lots of you non believers are at and where you are coming from.

while I'm not diagnosed Aspie my husband and I both strongly think we are (we have two sons that have been diagnosed.) for me it has a centering effect. (I was never a smoker... parents smoked when I was younger and the smell turned me off of the thought of smoking.... my husband on the other hand started smoking in college...he started vaping excursively last December, and I would sneak a puff every once in a while so he got me my own set ups...

You can reject what is staring you in the face all you want to. Logic has little to do with what is plainly happening in the world.... Okay let me rephrase it ----> It has less meaning to non believers than it has significance to believers. While there are many folks who may abhor what is happening to the Christians this is NOT what I was referring to..... I was simply referring to the fact that such things have been foretold in the Bible as events that would happen in the future and they are indeed happening. But non believers do not place the same emphasis on it that believers do ( I ought to know because I was agnostic most of my life) ---- I used to think Christians were silly people with little in the way of intelligence. True believers view such events as affirmation of what is mentioned in scriptures but non believers do not.

The Bible is a SELECTED compilation of letters, geneology and assorted tidbits. This is a selection of SOME of the various letters and such available as Christian or Jewish writings and selected by religious leaders way back when.
