But the parallel wasn't to discuss autism. It was to discuss reading of scripture. If you didn't get the parallel, it's OK. I can accept that it wasn't a good parallel. But it was provided to create a view into how we read scripture. Or hold to what we have heard in the past. If it didn't work, critiquing the parallel was pointless.
Yes, I brought it up. But not to discuss autism. Instead, to discuss our fixed view of scripture based on our own biases, often gleaned from an unreliable source — the LRC.

I think you are confusing my comments with someone else's. I never made any comment on cancer. More and more I am convinced that you don't really read my posts.
And your insults toward me (this is the second one in 24 hours) are getting annoying. Read my posts carefully, three times, before you respond again.
And since you said "with the same judgement that you judge others" am I to presume that you think I am judging the ones posting? Or is there an apostrophe missing, meaning that you think I am judging the posts of others? I really can't tell which for sure.
If the former, then you are simply wrong. I am not judging anyone other than the one who keeps throwing distractions at me. If the latter, then what do you think that a discussion of any issue is? A simple capitulation to whatever anyone writes? I don't analyze and comment on the words of a post to irritate the writer or to insult them. I do it to understand what it is saying, and in some cases suggest where I see possible error in the points made. Others can do the same with mine. And even my continuing to try to make my point about autism was not to suggest that my understanding of it was compete ly correct, but to clarify the point I was actually trying to make, which actually had nothing to do with autism. The example of "ignorant" celebrities clamoring about concerning autism as if they know a truth that scientists are trying to hide from us was the point. Aren't we all a little ignorant when it comes to really understanding the Bible? Yet we sometimes speak as if we have all the answers.
No. I was not being ironic in the least. It was, in my mind, a pretty god example/parallel. Maybe not the best.
And since everyone got distracted by the parallel and have virtually ignored the actual point, I have to accept that it probably wasn't a good one.
