Just seen this. Hope you are still around to read it.

You and your wife are old enough to do what you will. It's a pity that some people can't get along but such is life.

I'm concerned about your son. He is innocent in all of this.

IMHO, he needs to be kept away from that horrible abomination (Jehovas Witnesses). They are evil people who pretend to be nice. They are spiteful, horrible people - not loving and kind as they claim. If your son grows up mostly with his mother, he will become another puppet for the Jovies to manipulate. For the sake of your son, you need to go for complete custody so that their influence is minimised.

I hope it all works out for you.

Village Idiot:

Wouldn't God know what would happen without making a mess? He's supposed to be all knowing.

But does god know that he doesn't exist?

please take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.

ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.

things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.

GrreatTeacher - Hi.

How bloody odd. I find one-on-many eye contact easy because I can just scan from person to person - just as long as I don't need to dwell on someone too long. One-on-one eye contact is impossible for me - unless I want to stare someone out - then it's simple because no one beats me at that stupid game.

I used to try and remember to smile. In the end, I just gave up.

I must admit, I don't like people but I do like chatting on line.

I used to have a problem getting jobs until I figured out how to get the job I wanted.

Firstly, I'd look for a job that no one else wanted - eg. a project that was in the mire.

Secondly, I'd come across as arrogant sod and gave them the impression that I could do the job stood on my head and that they needed me more than I needed them.

Thirdly, I never smiled or made eye contact because I didn't want them thinking that I wanted their job and that I was too good for it. Having Aspergers is a definite advantage here because you can relax and be yourself. AND, here's the kicker, they believe because you come across as one who genuinely doesn't give a flying fart whether they hire you or not.

I got most of the jobs I applied for.

I have no idea whether such jobs exist in teaching. If they do, it's probably where you belong and where you'd be happiest. You can only give my method a go and, let's face it, your method hasn't worked yet (no disrespect intended).

OK, my method may not appeal and I'm not suggesting that you try it. But, it may lead to an idea that may pay off.

Luck.

I wasn't having a pop at you honest. In fact, when I wrote my post, I hadn't even seen yours. My sincere apologies if I have offended thee.

My comment was just a general one to highlight the fact that the 'proof' for the existence of jesus is nowhere near as strong as people think. In fact, its a bit flimsy, even at best.

So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday

by My Name is of No Consequence in

so i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.

i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.

i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

Hi MNIONC

To understand the something from nothing argument, at the detailed level, requires the IQ the size of major planet. At the high level, however, it's understandable for someone of average intelligence.

The first step is wanting to look at all possible answers rather than the one(s) that one wants to believe.

The way the swimmers evolved, you are correct. Testicles do indeed need to swing to keep the swimmers cool.

However, had they been 'designed' by god, then they could have been engineered not to require cooling and thus stored inside the body alleviating the need for testicles.

Yet another argument to suggest that Man was not designed by god and, if he was, then the sky wizard is a piss-poor designer.

To add to Half Banana's excellent post, I have to say that jesus supposedly preached to crowds of 5,000. In those days, that was a very big deal and far bigger than the crowd that saw Nazareth United thrash Bethlehem City 5 - 0 in the 5th. round replay of the 30 AD Galilee Cup match. He (jesus, not Half Banana) caused havoc in the temple when he turned over the money-changers tables. He went round Galilee performing miracles one after the other. He cured Lepers. He caused water to turn into wine (always a useful stunt if a student and if a Friday night). He caused the paralysed to walk again. The list was endless. Now, don't you think that all this deserved a mention in the local rag (Jewish/Roman)? But nope. Not one mention by any of the local reporters of the time. Either jesus had a D Notice slapped on him or we have to take all this with a very large pinch of salt. I'm taking the salt route

No need to sympathise - but thanks anyway.

Aspergers was a great asset in my working life (IT) but a disaster in my social life (None). It's a case of swings and roundabouts.

Overall, I'd say I'd benefited and, you know what, although I would like to experience the highs that some people must feel when they have experienced something truly wonderful, I'd hate to suffer the tremendous lows that some of you people suffer when, for example, a loved one tells you that they don't love you any more. Nah, I'll take what I have. Ain't complainin'.

Oh, and a great post btw.
