Scientists have established a link between religious fundamentalism and brain damage

Experiments in quantum behavior have proven observation collapses wave functions and without an observer you can not talk about reality. Consciousness is intrinsic to reality. Otherwise, all you would have is potential. The current understanding of quantum physics has many believing we are a product of a grand unified consciousness... A supreme being/god that imagines the universe and imagines life through each of us. We are god's dreams

At least that's where the science has led us.

LOL funny, ain't it?

Sky daddy is old and busted
The new god is you and me and everything and we aren't even really here.

There was a misunderstanding about that. To observe wave particles one must use a special instrument and since the waves and emissions of such instruments interfere with the delicate and tiny wave function we cannot observe them. The act of observation itself doesn't disrupt wave function, it's the equipment.

LOL
The delayed choice experiment disproves that.

This explains a lot about those two poor things, Truth Rejector and Big Chihuahua.

Man, you really have a hair trigger, don't you? I think you're "off" a little, if you know what I mean. ;)

That is actually more LOGICAL than one would think if you know anything about the PRE-FRONTAL cortex. 'EMPATHY' is located there. When traumatized, 'moral judgement' (dare I say punitive judgement kicks in) is altered even when LOGIC stays intact. The variables are individual but MOST of the born agains I know who came to religion, after the age of being 'raised in it', had some trauma, passive or self inflicted, in their past. Early family dysfunction, sexual assault, drugs or alcohol, are the BIGGIES.

Conservatives also tend to have an enlarged amygdala, which is the fear center. That makes sense, as well.

The human genome is merely 3% unique, which means that 97% of the DNA we have is shared with other mammals and primates. Fetal development can be partial or not reach full growth before the timer to "seal" the baby's fate kicks in, which can be a reason why if your brain development is off within only a few microns in your prefrontal cortex when that timer kicks in then that is all that is needed to cause vast differences in behavior and function. A few small tweaks can change a specie.

Every advance in neuroscience is a hit to psychology. As neuroscience grows psychology shrinks.

As science grows, the myths of religion shrink as well.

huff and puff post as some authority on Christianity? Of course this nation was not founded upon the "Religion" of Christianity.....it was founded upon the principles established under Blackstone who used the principles established under the Judeo Christian Philosophy. Establishing a STATE RELIGION would be contrary to that philosophy..as Christianity is based upon Choice not a State Mandate. Thus the 1st amendment free exercise and anti establishment clause existence where BIG BROTHER is forbidden from making any law that would deny FREE EXERCISE.

Religion is a personal choice.....but....there is nothing illegal with any person (Christian or otherwise) serving within the US government and retaining his/her personal rights of free speech. The very reason that Religion, Speech, and Press are addressed in the same bill of rights act.

No where does Adams declare that the United States is not a Christian Nation. Have you ever attempted to read and comprehend English within its context and content message? Quote: Your own evidence, "The GOVERNMENT of the UNITED STATES...is not.....(the government dumbasses) in any sense, is not founded upon THE RELIGION of CHRISTIANITY." -- John Adams.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentaries_on_the_Laws_of_England Notice the quote even from Wikipedia...….Blackstone is referenced when asked about the FRAMING of the United States Constitution.

That Framework. 1. The rights of persons 2. the rights of things 3. of private wrongs 4. of public wrongs. Guess where this reference of these 4 basic tenets of US LAW came from? The Judeo Christian Philosophies....Blackstone argued that English Common Law was predicated upon God's Law.

Indicate where any god is referenced in the Constitution.

State Religion? What part of the 1st amendment do you not comprehend? Are you a child? :palm: Just why do you assume this nation was created in the first place? This nation's founding is a direct result of those protesting STATE RELIGION in EUROPE...i.e., the protestant movement and migration to the new world to escape religious persecution. In Europe Catholicism was mandated as a state religion.....it was illegal for a lay person to even read from the Holy Bible, it was illegal for anyone to translate the Bible from Latin into common English...

The First States Bill of Rights..i.e, the 1st amendment makes sure that such a thing can never happen in the United States. In fact the personal letter from a Christian Minister to Jefferson was addressing such a topic....the preacher was afraid that his state would make everyone worship only one doctrine. Jefferson told him that was impossible according to the 1st amendment. His analogy was comparing the anti-establishment clause as a wall that guaranteed Freedom of Religion not freedom from religion.

Jefferson said the New Testament was written by ignorant, unlettered men. I’ll take that one step further. It is BELIEVED by the same people. :rofl2:

Did you know this?

The rainbow is really due to the reflection and refraction of water particles in the atmosphere and has not a fucking thing to do with a god inventing it to tell mankind there will be no more worldwide floods.

That’s just a fucking shocker, isn’t it?:rofl2:

A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

Neuropsychologia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on cognitive neuroscience. It was established in 1963, and is published by Elsevier.

No surprise there.

then there's the religion of environmentalism. and these nuts want to make heresy illegal. is that creativity and open-mindedness?

The environment is real, and right in front of you daily. There's no evidence that God even exists. Question: if God is real and omniscient, then why does the Bible ban eating pork (because of trichinosis), when all that was necessary was to ensure that it was cooked throughly?
