RE: People with Asperger's less likely to see purpose behind the events in their lives

Anyway back to the article, I have a weak theory of mind and as a result I find this article quite compelling. Because I don't engage very in teleological thinking, for example; if something happened to me I would either invoke a natural cause, give a descriptive response and explaining the event again in a different way.

My lack of teleological thinking is a reason I believe sometimes the whole idea of god/s to be frankly well absurd and illogical. Also I wonder why people developed the idea of divinities in the first place.
