Literalism and Autism

[EgoDeath]

[
Wait a minute, who is suggesting that the Bible is to be interpreted 100% literally?

About what percentage of the Bible do you interpret non-literally?

And how do you determine what distinguishes the percentage of the Bible you view as non-literal from literal?

I also didn’t refer to those on the spectrum to make fun them.

Certainly not a hundred percent.

How about you?

And, I'm not sure how else someone is supposed to take this thread.

Is this a legitimate concern you have here? If so, what are you going to do with the information once you obtain it? What good would it do you to know about a connection between autism and Biblical literalism? Do you do research for a university? I mean what's going on here, what is this thread?

I don't even know anyone personally that's autistic and this comes off as offensive to me. I'd slap that fuck outta you if you said some shit like this in real life to somebody. You are one arrogant fuck.

Non-Autistic people are comfortable with non-literal interpretation. No doubt some autistic people are too.

If you are on the autism spectrum I apologize if I gave the impression that this thread is about you. In fact, in my understanding, it's about the problem of insisting on literalism.

But wait, didn't you just say that it had nothing to do with it at all? Now it has something to do with it?

I don't even know anyone personally that's autistic, but this came off as arrogant as fuck. Along with your insinuation that Acro was asking a legitimate question. I'd love to run into you two guys like you at a bar one day. That'd be fun.

Amazing the type of security blanket that the internet gives people, isn't it?
