Let's say a Minister is diagnosed with Alzhiemer's..and forgets who he is and every thing he's stood for?
What will the verdict in your opinion be?
I would prefer this to be thougth provoking vs. just provocation ...

I have often wondered about this. My husband has a type of autism (Asperger's syndrome) and one of the characteristics, is that they tend to have difficulty with figurative language, and reading between the lines. So they tend to take things literally. Therefore my husband has a lot of trouble understanding things like parables and symbolism. He also has a difficulty understanding emotion, and relating to other people, let alone God.
