Church and Autism
I’m an atheist, but I was raised Christian, and I go to church with my family on holidays to avoid scrutiny from my family. I remember as a kid I always hated church, and I still do. In retrospect, it’s an autistic nightmare: people wanting to shake your hand and making eye contact you as soon...- AutisticMilly

How Do I Know What I Believe?
I have spent the last thirty years devoting incredible amounts of time and energy to what I have recently come to understand as my main special interest: religion and comparative theology. However, my interest has been only partially academic; the bulk of my interest has been what I long... -

Any Agnostics here..?
Apologies in advance if it's already been posted. Wanted to see if there are anyone here who take an agnostic approach to life? I was raised Hindu, in a predominantly conservative Christian area. However, contrary to popular belief, Hinduism isn't so much a religion as it is a culture. There... -
Hello, from an Openly Autistic Catholic Priest
Hello. I just found this. I had posted a few times on Wrong Planet and other autism forums like /r/aspergers and several Facebook groups. I'm a pretty well-known Catholic priest who made it public I was autistic in 2019 and am writing a book on prayer for autistics.- AutisticPriest

On suicide..
I've tried to kill myself multiple times but I've stopped from actually doing it because I fear death. I've always have since the very beginning of my life. I don't know how I feel about religion. I don't know which "side" I should join. I don't want to kill myself because I fear the idea of... -

Hello. I'm new here.

Is it Okay to be a Nudist if You are Christian?
Sorry about the texting language in here. I originally sent this in a venting channel in a Discord server that I am a member of. I don't know why my parents have a problem with me being naked in my own room. Many types of clothes are not friendly to how I process senses such as touch. Also, in...- Joshua the Writer

Spiritual Experience

Seriously, this makes me nuts!
I have an elderly aunt that I periodically phone for a chat. She is pretty nice, usually; except for when she starts on religion. Being a non religious person bordering on atheist, I find it intensely irritating when she starts telling me that God will look out for me, solve my problem, etc...- garnetflower13

I struggle with Aspergers. Am I #blessed or what?
A lot of times we use the word blessed lightly. Whenever an event happens to us that makes us happy, or we work hard and reward ourselves with something rare money can buy, our tendency is to post or tweet it out and drop the hashtag #blessed Examples: I just bought a car. #Blessed (I wish...- aarparca

Why I hate talking about my religion
It's not that I mind explaining things that have been asked. But in general, I don't like being boxed. I feel that once people know about my religion, they will not be as open and trusting in approaching me, that they have stereotypes and ideas of their own of how I "must" be, they censor... -
