I work with a lot of kids and with autism some with aspergers.
I always got the impression that people with aspergers would have a really hard time with having a belief in God as they generally think in contexts of black and white and usually process things literally rather than figurativly.
I ran across this site that had a couple of polls
Belief in God was at 33% No belief 66%
56% said the world would be better without religion, 32% said no and 10% undecided.
What I am wondering is.. Aspergers is a defined neurological disorder. These people are functional in society and lead good lives but maybe can not grasps the idea of God.
How would God view these people? They have heard but possibly cant believe.
Also what are your thoughts? Makes me wonder if there is a connection between belief in God and neurological processes as many on the site say they can not "comprehend" believing in a god and thats how I feel for the most part.

Site is wrongplanet.net

Many of the stories serve absolutely no purpose and can only possibly serve to cause harm in today's society. So why can’t we edit them out? We edit gruesome movies and video games if they’re too much of a bad influence; why is the bible immune to the same standards?

Seriously, I'm sure not all of them are crazy as loons, but everywhere I go on the internet theyre always popping up and spamming like its doomsday and Paul is the Messiah. Heres a quote from a comment on a youtube about Presidential candidate Mike Gravel:

"Mike Gravel is just another globalist who speaks about globalism and a new globe order and he wants to tax the world to further enrich the global elite.

Screw that and screw Mike Gravel.

What do you guys think? And how does it affect your view of Ron Paul as a candidate to have such a nutty crowd following him?

I have read through several other similar threads, but i sill can't seem to distinguish male from female

I don't see a gavid spot on any of the fry.
I can't see a difference in the fins.
Their difference in size is minimal.
There are no color differences.

There is only 1 that is obviously bigger than the rest so I tagged it as female.

There are 12 fry and they are now 40 days old, all are greyish in color. Other people said that by now they should start to color and be "sexually" mature! but i still don't see the color.

I don't mind the color as it will come later on, but the sexually mature is what gets to me! if they in-breed there's a high chance the fry will have abnormalities! I don't want this to happen!

Oh I have another younger fry batch, around 1 week old, and there are around 8 of 48 that are darker. What does this mean?

So do any of you know any other way to find out?
Plus is the sexually mature thing true?
Could the female fry be already "seeded"?

Hubby cut off several of the lower branches in the past couple years and didn't put tar on the cuts. The whole tree looks dead now with tons of full pinecones on the branches that look dead and the branches seem to be very dry on the ends I can get to, but here and there over the branches are these green small and medium tight cones which I'm sure are the new cones coming in. The tree has to be about 100 years old, or at least 50 years. It was huge already when I got here about 20 years ago. Does anyone know if there is a "resting" period for pine trees? Thanks, Sandy
