Are people with autism prone to idoltary, due to having special intrests?

I've got 2 kids on the spectrum, and kind of suspect I may be as well, and I've always had a pretty big problem with taking my God-given time and devoting it to some pretty hardcore hobbies.

I don't even really want to post this... it's just that I can relate so very, very well. I feel like the Holy Spirit has been poking me about this for a couple of decades, and while I approached others I trusted about this being sin somehow, they always said the same thing: "LOL, no. That's silly." It doesn't feel silly at all.

If we are to love the Lord God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, yet spend up to 10 hours a day playing World of Warcraft on my PC on my days off, I can't really say I'm doing the number one thing ever that Jesus told me to do, can I?

I've been able to quote WoW now for a few months, and I expect I'll be tempted to pick it up again. It doesn't really matter if I have a biological tendency towards additions, because God never put any asterisks in the bible that say *unless you really feel like you just HAVE to.

This is the thorn in my side, and I suspect I will never be rid of it til I'm dead. God's grace is sufficient for me.

I believe that Western society was built on Christian values, and the transgender agenda directly threatens these values. I believe that disagreeing with transgender ideology doesn't inherently make you bigoted Why are fundamentalist homes so frequently abusive? Objective Morality Does Not Exist It's time for Christians to stop blindly supporting the israeli-apartheid state It's time for Christians to stop blindly supporting the israeli-apartheid state What do you think of the Cerberus analogy of the trinity? LGBTQIA+ Christians in this sub. I’m afraid after over 25+ years I’m losing faith. Please help. What do you guys think of Judas Iscariot? Texas to Take Up Bill Requiring Ten Commandments in Every Public School Classroom and another that would allow schools to hire pastors or chaplains instead of counselors. Faith, it seems, is something God (the epitome of unaccountable power) requires of the "lesser" beings to justify the lack of transparency God created for himself. how should i go about converting my muslim friend to Christianity I turned on "Christian" radio today and it disgusted me. God Must Exist For Morality To Be Objective Pornography is an evil sin. You can easily see this by how it is made and by its effects.
