The Autistic Christian

Handi-andis

Let me say from the start that I have a strong faith and although I’m willing to discuss it, I have not started this thread to try and evangelise anyone. Simply I’d like to discuss with other autistic Christians how they cope with church, other Christians and trying to resolve their head around everything.

  • New topic; how do you feel about people preaching the word in a packed commuter train?

    I agree with Handi-andis, it could be very annoying to be preached at in a place from which there is no easy escape. People who go to a church (whether they have made a commitment to it or not) have gone there voluntarily and expect to be preached to, the commuters have not.

    On the other hand, is it much more annoying than having to overhear someone else's boring phone conversation or choice of music?

    If a Muslim tried to convert me to Islam in a similar way, I wouldn't be interested, but I would try to be polite, and maybe explain my beliefs to him (or her) in return.
