Well, I mean, it's not like anyone has any evidence that he's *not* divinely inspired, right?

I therefore find it highly unlikely that you are truly divine.

The divine is not dictated to by fairness, rather the divine dictates what is fair.

Also the truly divine would of course send the nude women, but mysteriously, without any undertaking as to whose door they would be sent to.

Therefore, I have strong doubts as to your divinity, although I may be willing to concede some aspect of awesomeness and/or glory could be attributed to you.

Well, pandd, if you know another thing about the divine, it also makes lame excuses so that it doesn't have to do what it doesn't wanna do. I am doing exactly that.

Why would a divine being choose to have Asperger's Syndrome?

You haven't been around the "AS is the next evolution crowd" enough, then you'd better understand why I do what I do.

I have been around that crowd a great deal, but I still don't agree with them. AS as the next evolution? Foolishness, hubris.

AG is the prophet! He shall bring us salvation!
One day in the history books, there'll be a picture of him on a cliff holding up a huge stone tablet that says "Austrian Economics."

Other: AG is just so freakin' awesome, it would be inappropriate to refer to him in the context of divinity. He is above that.

But if AG speaks the Truth, then where the inspiration comes from? and that's the question, can it be someone that could get that close to know the answers of everything in the universe as well the negation of everything without being divinely inspired? We could also ask wether the awesomeness is something that derivated from divinity that could explain that very nature.

Can we be sure that Jesus wasn't an aspie? I mean, according to the Bible, it can be said that he was a "little profesor".

There should be one more answer to this poll.

"All of the above."

I'm gonna go with Awesome Command Theory on this one. Whatever AG says is true by definition. The inspiration doesn't have to come from anywhere.

You refer to his boyhood of teaching in the temple, I think. "Little rabbi," maybe.
