Religious thinking

Easy

I was reading this article,

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2010/05/29/people-with-aspergers-less-likely-to-see-purpose-behind-the-events-in-their-lives/

It surprised me, I had always thought of Aspies as similar to monks,

happy to live in solitude pondering the big questions and thinking deeply.

A lot of the early monks like St Anthony and St Benedict seemed to live a very Aspie lifestyle, very little social contact and high concentration on repetitive simple tasks.

 

But maybe belief in god is a product of our brains instinct to project our mental states on the outside world, that seems to be reduced in autism ?

  • My guess is that aspies would be more biased to a universal order, the idea that there is a universal design and plan,

    Aspies would live a more detached and prayerful life, more emphasis on books and learning, more mystic.

    NT's would find the idea that we are made in the image of God and he shares our sorrows and feelings more appealing.

    and they would be more inclined to church growth, practical acts of caring, friendship and building the church as a powerful social influence.
