Controversial Issues / Re: "Neurodivergent"
« on: March 21, 2024, 01:52:31 PM »
Tango: Are you saying that there are neurodivergent people who are not any of those three adjectives at all? If so, how would someone know they are neurodivergent?

If there are lazy people who are not neurodivergent, how would you tell the difference between two lazy people, one of whom is neurodivergent and the other not?

Controversial Issues / "Neurodivergent"

If I replace the word "neurodivergent" with "unintelligent", "lazy" and/or "badly behaved", who am I leaving out that I should be including? Am I including anyone that I shouldn't?

On the topic of whether a university would regard calling for the genocide of a minority as free speech, I wouldn't be surprised if the university had a selection box of definitions of genocide.

There is, for example, genocide in the sense of wiping out a whole group of people. There is also the act of saying something which members of a group don't like and, as a result, feel unhappy about. Feeling unhappy equals being in danger of mental-health-related ill health, which leads to suicidal thoughts, ergo someone is trying to kill this group, ergo it is genocide.

My experience of the two groups is as follows:

Fundamentalist:

You have the following instructions: Convert to Christianity. Persuade other people to convert to Christianity. Die.

Don't ask questions, as this gets in the way of The Lord's work.

Charismatic:

Everywhere around you is uncertainty and lots of questions, which all means the occult revelation that comes from having the Holy Spirit in you and having my life experience is where you should look next. Please don't show that any questions have concrete, verifiable answers because that means that I haven't got any reason to tell people about the voice in my head, what I dreamt last night, the fact that I am older than some people, my testimony, my age, my marital status, an anecdote I heard when I was in a developing country doing voluntary work for two weeks, my having been on this earth longer than some of you, my age, a story about my children, something I heard at Greenbelt or Spring Harvest, my age, a nice feeling I had at a praise-and-worship meeting and my age.

Sojourner, what are your thoughts on the idea that some Christian movements have created a problematic separation of 'evangelism' and 'follow-up', when they shouldn't be seen as separate at all?

My initial gut reaction is to look at the first line then skip to the end to see if it is worth reading the huge quantity of text in the middle.

Fundamentalists hate it when people ask questions.
Charismatics hate it when people give answers.

A fair description or not?

It matters because pre-resurrection could be anything all the way back to the beginning of our species.

How far pre-Jesus' resurrection? Or do you mean post-Jesus' resurrection?

So how far back in history would you describe as 'before the current age'?

Fenris: No, I don't get it. Is it a reference to the Flat Earth Society?

"If you cannot tell the difference between the real thing and a fake, treat it all as fake."

Is there any sphere where you would, or would not, apply this?
