What's spreading autism is parents putting their kids in front of screens to keep them from misbehaving when every business in the world is desperately doing everything in their power to fight for as much of people's attention as they are capable of from all age groups but especially kids.
Big pharma is just profiting off being able to sell drugs to help parents manage their kids after the damage has already been done.
Think about how hard advertisement companies will try to figure out who you are and what you are interested in so they can serve you the same ads over and over and over again every 10 or so minutes and the same thing is happening in kids shows and mobile games where they try to be as stimulating and attention grabbing as possible.
The only ones to blame for the spread of autism is ourselves.

I'm not religious, but evidence doesn't make much of a difference when it comes to belief. People will say things like "It's funny how after video cameras were invented all the miracles stopped," but if you read some of the bible stories, people who KNEW God existed constantly bailed on him whenever things got a little difficult. "Moses has been away for a week getting the commandments... better make a new God out of gold." This, after they were rescued from slavery and headed towards the promised land. So even if hard proof was in everyone's face it would just be ignored anyway when it was inconvenient. Nothing would really change, just like in the bible.
I feel like if they're not shoving their beliefs down your throat and feel they're improving their lives then just let them be. My old roommate was like that. Told me he used to be very violent, always picking fights, selling drugs, and sleeping with a bunch of girls. And he stopped all of that once he became religious. Very chill guy who never pushed his beliefs on me.

Well of course not, faith is enough for those people.
I can't blame the israelites for constantly giving up on Yahweh, considering most of them never directly spoke to him or saw him do anything, it was always Moses or Aaron doing things. And whenever Yahweh actually did anything, it was usually killing the israelites for idolatry (Ex. 32:35), killing Aaron's sons for doing an unapproved sacrifice (Lev. 10:2), graphically threatening his chosen people if they dont obey his commandments (Lev. 26:14-39), aborting babies if the woman was unfaithful to her husband (Num. 5:21-22), killing random people for complaining about their hardships (Num. 11:1-3), killing people with a plague because they wanted quail (Num. 11:33-4), letting most of the israelites die in the wilderness because they were afraid to fight human-angel hybrids in their huge fortified cities (Num. 14:16,28-9), then killing the people that gave the report of Canaan (Num. 14:37), killing men, women, and children who opposed Moses and Aaron's leadership (Num. 16:31-3), killing a bunch of people with venomous snakes because they were hungry (Num. 21:6-7), and killing 24,000 people with a plague after they started hanging out with the Moabites (Num. 25:8-9).
I won't go through the entire book and list all the terrible things Yahweh has done, i'd be here forever lmao

Well, even if he never pushed his beliefs on me I did grow curious. And so I gave it a try. And my issues is basically exactly what you said at the start. There are the occasional metaphorical head pats, but the majority of the time whenever he's mentioned it's because someone is about to be killed, will be killed in the future, to express displeasure at how much people suck, or new rules are going to be instituted.
Every time people were killed I just felt like I was eventually going to be on the chopping block myself, and I never felt I was doing enough. Constant guilt and judging myself, leading to back and forths of crying and self-hate, and raging at God, which made me feel afraid and guilty, and so on.
But, hey, new things are always uncomfortable, so I persisted, hoping eventually something would click with me. The Book of Job is where I gave up though. Passively allowing things to show what happens when people go off on their own is one thing, but God put a big old target right on Job. Basically, "As long as you don't kill him, do whatever you want to him."
Then, after losing all ten of his kids, his livelihood, being covered in boils, and feeling suicidally depressed and wishing to die, God finally responds directly with a rant that made me feel like I was right back with my abusive relatives. Never question anything. Just be an obedient little drone. You only get your treats after you agree with everything I do.
I don't think I've ever felt more expendable than I did reading it. If that's the ultimate loving being then I'd never understand it, so if it's real and I'm doomed anyway then might as well at least enjoy my existence on earth until whatever judgment would happen in the afterlife. I feel the best I could ever do is be a human bridge for others to use to cross over, like how I used to let my roommate borrow my car to get to his Sunday church meetings.

Its just best to not believe things until there's sufficient evidence to believe them. There's no evidence of heaven or hell, especially the christian model. You only get one life so dont waste it worrying about things that are fictional and unproven.

EDIT: Also the apocryphal stories of Daniel's conflicts with Bel and with the Dragon. Which I suspect were excised from the canon because they gave too much of the game away.

Ancient Greeks believed in powerful but sex addicted gods, an angry housewife goddess, spirits of nature that swooned humans, cosmic beings that balanced the universe, divine heroes and champions of both humans and non humans, and somehow that’s still better than this.
