Autism - the New Gay
 
In a nation increasingly rejecting the Almighty, people will try anything. Without a moral code to guide them, is it any wonder people increasingly identify themselves as homosexual? Not satisfied with trying to shock society with their own depraved behavior, people have come to conduct a nation-wide social experiment with children - autism.

We know autism is related to atheism, as it is a disability marked by a lack of social and moral values. We know more and more people are demanding to excuse their children's barbaric behavior rather than taking responsibility for negligent parenting. There is no blood test or brain scan to diagnose autism so clearly it is not a biological condition. It is, like homosexuality, a phase the young people of today are trying. I for one think we are playing a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with God, thinking He won't deliver a just punishment on society for such a cruel joke as training up children to be self-centered and demand immediate self-gratification.

THE report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that one in 88 American children have an autism. This marks a 23% increase since the CDC's last report in 2009. And, a 78% increase since their first report in 2007.

An estimated one in ten people identify as being lesbian, gay, bi-curious or terribly confused (lgbt).

Clearly the Gay Agenda has been so popular that advocates for autistic people have jumped on the bandwagon to see if raising their child in a socially retarded way will make them look equally "cool" in Hollywood, thus earning millions of dollars just for being flamboyant.

Homeschooling is of course God's favorite form of education, but for those who cannot be so kind to their children, we have to keep our eyes on the public schools. In the great state of Kansas, for example, Jack Wu is running for the Board of Education with a campaign promising to eliminate evolution from the curriculum because it is a satanic lie. It's a start in the right direction.

Another great way to save children from the Gay Agenda is the Good News Club, a perfectly legal way to teach children the benefits of obedience to God in their own comfortable classroom setting, after school hours of course. :innocent:

Friends, we cannot let the Gay Agenda take away our children and raise them as autistics and atheists! Our children are our most valuable treasures!

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6






******************

Edited to Add:

As of this post, April 20, 2013:


The Center for Disease Control reports 1 in 50 children in the United States is obsessed with having autism.

Let's look at some facts:

The state of Minnesota has the largest number of 8 year olds obsessed with autism. The capital of Minnesota is now "The Gayest City In America."

The state of Maine has the second largest number of 8 year olds obsessed with autism. The state of Maine decided in the last few months to come to Satan's beck and call and celebrate sodomizing children.

After a lengthy battle with pro-anal-rapist factions, England lost the battle with moral decency and passed a law encouraging gay marriage earlier this year. They then discovered a 50% increase in autism in this same time period.

Can you honestly believe this is still just a coincidence?

Re: Autism - the New Gay
 
I am certain once Jesus becomes our next president He will make being gay, autistic, Atheist or even worse democrat, punishable by death! The Bible is already very clear on this, but as we all know Obama ignores the Bible so he can rape America.

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

2nd Chronicles 15:13 "That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."

Jesus protect us! We all knew Gay Marriage would be a gateway to more hellish depravity just like Some Like it Hot was the gateway to the gaying up of America! Even now you can hear Satan laughing threw Doris Day.

Now that our hands our tied by the Democrats and the ACTIVIST Judges on the US Supreme Court filled with Liberal tools like Scalia and Thomas. Tards are cut off from the famous Tough Love of Our Savior and America becomes that much more depraved.

Christ is weeping.

Autism is an easy way of saying "my kid's OK but he needs special privileges."

lukasekman 06-28-2012 10:12 PM

Re: Autism - the New Gay
 
As Cranky Old Man pointed out, autism is the same as atheism, and people have made that sinful lifestyle choice trough the entire history of 6000 years.
I do prefer to call it a-tism, to merge two words that actually mean the same thing.

I am actually worried about that a-tism become the new flu. Having an outbreak of a-tism going on in my city, I'm afraid what will happen if ordinary a-tism spirit swap traits with the contagious form. My communion workers report a case fatality rate of 31 percent among those infected.

In 1980 i was diagnosed with autism at the moscow state hospital.

I am NOT a homosexual.

I enjoy the company of the other gender rather than my own.

The government immediatly gave me ritalin and extra ration coupons to help cope with my disorder.

Dear Hatemonger;

I'm sorry, but it is our policy NEVER to remove the account of an unsaved fool. Your belligerent hatemongering will remain for future unsaved scum to see and learn from for all eternity (or until Jesus returns to slay most of the earth, whichever comes first).

Jesus called you here for a reason, so you might rethink your selfish tantrum and stick around.

If you'd really like to remove yourself from our Godly forum, all you need to do is to click on that tiny red "x" in the upper righthand corner of your computer screen. Then close your computer, stand up, and walk away.

YIC,

--Pastor Ezekiel

Well hello again! To all of you who think that WE HOMOSEXUALS are all going to hell (yeah right as if it were true), let me ask you a simple question. Do you like/ have you ever eaten Shrimp? Well if the answer to this is yes, then congratulations!!! You are an ABOMINATION to the eyes of your all loving God.

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

What I'm trying to say, is that no matter what the bible EXPLICITLY says, humans go through something called EVOLUTION. We cope with issues accordingly to the age we live in. Eating shrimp might have been a huge deal to people. Now hating gays is the new huge deal. But hey! THIS IS ALL NONSENSE! No one should be judged just like that! Just think for it a little bit. And I want to close my argument by saying. Don't take the bible too literally, or you might get lost in the way.

If you have the right to eat shrimp, then we have the right to eat cock. :D

Errr, no. Jesus changed that bit.

Matthew 15:11 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

Read your Bible, and learn the truth about what it says about God, especially about that "all loving" bullshit.

Start here.

Are you some kind of a retard?

Why has God cursed you to be so dull-witted?

Do you really think you can "Gotcha" True Christians™ with a Bible verse?

Jesus says in Mark 7:18-23:

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Where did Jesus release us from laws against fornication and lust? Oh, right. Nowhere.

And you have the "right" to do whatever you like. You will then face the consequence of your choices. You can obey God in all things, or you can spend eternity being burned alive in His Lake of Fire.

That's called "free will".

So in your defence of the retarded you thought you'd post a meme picture that mocks the retarded. Nice move, queerboy!

People wouldn't be born with mental diseases if they hadn't upset God in some way. Who knows what sinful thoughts a fetus has. Also they could have been turned into retards to punish the parents (or even great great grandparents).

Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

God's justice may seem harsh but it is, by definition, right and fair. Every time the man who hated God looks on his drooling offspring and wonders why his seed was cursed he will remember to fear God.

GLORY!

(Judging by your last post someone in your family REALLY hated God)

Okay.
"We know autism is related to atheism, as it is a disability marked by a lack of social and moral values."
Stop right there.

You don't have any right to say that. Just because you believe in god, it doesn't mean you're greater. I know far more many Christians without morals rather than Atheists. Sure, there are Atheists who are complete jerks. But the ones with morals, they tend to be better with them. People like you have selective morals. You'd meet a person, talking with them, end up liking them, and once you find out they're atheist you'd pretend you never liked them and they are below you. Talk about double standards.

Maybe if christians like you would stop acting like they're superior, maybe Atheists would listen.

Saying autism is related to atheism is complete and utter bull. Autism is a condition, thus scientific, it has nothing to do with lack of morals, how would the disease have ANY idea that the parents lacked morals? I know plenty of autistic children and parents and they are some of the nicest people I know.

This is just offensive.

I've been lurking on this forum for a while. I've seen many accounts of calling people retarded and queers and gay. Really? Aren't you supposed to be better than this? You are some of the most hypocritical people I've ever encountered.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

1) Your confusion results from your misunderstanding of the word "morals". They are not universal. No one exists "without" them. Don't you mean "good" morals, ie. they agree with you?

2) Don't capitalize atheist or atheism (except at the beginning of sentences). They are not proper nouns.

Re: Autism - the New Gay
 
My heart is incredibly heavy as I read through these posts. I am praying for direction and an understanding of why God has led me to this forum. I don't believe that I have ever experienced this much hate. Is this what God intended for us? How is judgment and hate allowing us to reach out into the world and spread God's word? I choose to believe that all judgment is reserved for my God - everything in this world is by His will - I will not claim any right to criticize His plan. I know that there are things and people in this world that act directly against His word - and this makes me sad - but my Lord is all powerful and could put an end to it if He chose. He has not. I believe that my role as a Christian is to bring as many people to God as I can, not to spit on those who sin and wish hell upon them. I am, after all, a sinner myself. We are all God's children.

I leave this post with great hesitation, and am wondering what focus of hate I may be bringing upon myself - but I feel called to go out of my comfort zone and speak to God's love.

-This life is not my own, but belongs to God.

Me too.

I sometimes wish God would simply smite all atheists and autistics right now and preserve His divine dignity! I KNOW He can do it! But alas, it is not in His plan at this time. All I can say is, O Come LORD Jesus. Come soon.

I wanted to be clear that I did not agree with Mary's statement, 'You and I are a lot alike'. I do not think that we have similar views or perspective on how to live and act in God's word. I stand firm in my faith in what God puts into my heart - but I am not here to attack or force anyone to agree. I am only interested in participating in a forum that seems to be meant for the sharing of information and opinions.

I am surprised to hear that you believe that '...We know autism is related to atheism...' is backed up 100% with the Holy Word of God. Again, I do not wish to attack, but to share my thought process.

I stand firm in my faith in what God puts into my heart - but I am not here to attack or force anyone to agree. I am only interested in participating in a forum that seems to be meant for the sharing of information and opinions.

We aren't really interested in your unsaved opinions. Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself. :rtfm:

Mary - it looks like God has placed some of the same messages in our hearts, but we bring those messages to the world in differing ways.

God places the knowledge in my heart to read and follow His Word without reservation, without condition. It sounds like you stop short where your comfort zone runs out. Why would you do that? Do you not trust the LORD to be truly sovereign?

Re: Autism - the New Gay
 
I am learning and growing in my life with God - and I will be for the rest of my days on this earth - you'll never hear me say that I've got it completely right, I will always be burdened with sin. But I am working towards giving God my best, and giving myself fully to Him. God's work in me has me moving to replace my own anger and disrespect towards others with love and patience - especially when I am being persecuted. (identifying with you having to see the inappropriate messages that those who disagree with you have left on these boards) I have never experienced a more difficult transition in how I live - and I mess up regularly. For me, in my mind, stopping short would have been reacting to this tread with disrespect or deciding not to have faith and shy away from sharing the message that He had placed in my heart.

In full disclosure I should share that I was pulled to this post because of the content. I have changed the professional direction of my life in the last 5 years to dedicate myself to participating in the treatment of children with autism. Seeing the pain that these children go through and what they can overcome has never stopped amazing me. I have now seen multiple children work to the point of being indistinguishable from their peers in a typical classroom. This is not possible for every child, but the only researched intervention to produce these results is an intensive (30-40 hrs/wk) behavioral therapy called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that is implemented as early in development as possible. Two research studies have shown 50% of participants to reach normal IQ scores and as stated above, participate in a typical classroom without any special aid. (Lovaas, Sallows) We teach communication, social skills, cognitive skills, and give tools on how to overcome uncontrollable behaviors such as painful head banging (head banging is many times the result of severe sensory over stimulation, or the emotional pain of severe anxiety). I have even implemented programs with several families who desperately wanted their child to be able to attend church service - our therapists attend service with the family. I only wish to share my experience here. You would be amazed at the thirst for knowledge and growth that these children have once we just realize that they do not learn like the rest of us - and we teach them in a way that they understand.

I am hoping that you do not feel mislead that I did not share this immediately. I did not want my original message to get lost in the debate about autism.

I am a 27 year old who grew up Christian and have always attended church regularly, but didn’t realize that I was only going through the motions until I was in college and found myself wrapped up in a secular lifestyle. I now have a deep love for God and strive to make Him central in my life every day – but still working on getting past the distractions, every day.

Mary, I want to thank you for your conversation with me. I appreciate that you did not make me feel uncomfortable or be-littled for what I shared.

Very best.
