Hello KenArno, Yes, I've always been a believer in God, but have only been a devoted follower for the past 30 years. I'm glad God is omnipresent because He's always with me, too! In fact, He's my Father, my Mentor, and my Best Friend. I talk with Him all throughout the day about whatever is on my mind. I always ask His Guidance for any decision, after all, I want only to do His Will, and His Plan for my life. Is His guidance for you by "signs"? Or, is it more "conversational" as His guidance is for me?

I'm an atheist, always have been and almsot certainly always will be.

I'm also an atheist. I think that Aspergers is best understood in terms of science, and for we who have Aspergers, focusing on this world and our experiences in it is our best way to understand ourselves and to live a meaningful life.

Personally, my preference is to keep religion out of it. I might suggest someone could feel better if they pray (never mentioning to whom) but that's as far as it should go on here.

I'm an agnostic, not an atheist, but an agnostic of many years. Not looking to change that.

I recently told my 17 year old son that he didn't have to go to church any more, He was tired of them bashing other religions (I have taught him to be tolerant of all religions), tired of not getting anything out of it, and tired of always leaving the service feeling like he wasn't doing enough.

To me the best way to serve God or to be religious is to help others. I told my son to focus on the volunteer work he is going to start at the Humane Society on Saturday. I'm sure he'll get a lot more out of it than what he got out of going to church.

Hello, Churches are not the same and if they are providing the right guidance, they will not be bashing other religions or beliefs.
My advice would be to keep looking for a church that preaches acceptance, love, and tolerance as part of their mission.

I view myself as a non-denominational Christian who no longer wishes to subscribe to one particular Church.

The issues about 'religion' in Northern Ireland are more in relation to the juxtaposition of Church and State. The Irish State wanted to be Catholic, whilst Northern Ireland wanted to be Protestant. They fed off each other in terms of fear of themuns.
