Is religious experience merely an electronic impulse?

[reverendflash]

Some of the world's top neuroscientists have found a link between a specific part of the brain and moments of religious experience. If their theory about the brain is correct, faith and religious experience may simply be an electromagnetic field in the brain.

maybe you too can talk to God!

I wonder if Billy Graham saw this?

[[Legoman]]

yeah, I've seen quite a few programs about this. from experiments they showed it seems feasible.

[reverendflash]

they also think that Moses was Epileptic...

I can't believe that this is the face of an inspirational leader that convinced a large group to commit suicide and they would be rewarded with a spot on a spaceship travelling behind a comet:

Actually there was a suicide commit cult at our high school. Kirupa was a member (2nd to join after the pope). So you never know, kirupa might actually be next :P.

nonsense, utter nonsense...wonder if thinking about something triggers an electric impulse....well duh, thank you Captain Obvious....

[NaliWarCow]

wow, we've got more than one set of brothers on here.

phil/rev/abzoid.
and me/kirupa ;)

[Jubba]

I think its more the fact that a certain region of the brain is stimulated when the impulse is about religion. That would mean that there is a specific part of the brain that deals with subjects such as that.

its not like its a 900 number straight to the pearly-gate's reception desk...

Hmmm, at least this might explain David Icke... :sure:

[mjULTRA]

yeah David Icke has some weird theories going on, but im reading his book called, "Alice and Wonderland and The World Trade Center Disaster: Why the ofiicial story is a monumental lie" and it is chock full of interesting information. Supposedly, though, the last chapter deals with an alternate race of lizard men who control the world.... kinda freaky, but how does that saying go, "truth is stranger than fiction..."

[reverendflash]

I may have to pick that up...

I've been looking for a new book to read.

ahh... :P

[reverendflash]

the main thing that keeps me from starting smoking again, is that I visualize just how bad that first ciggy is going to taste...

then all of the sudden, I don't want one. all of my friends still smoke tho. I even have 4 or 5 ashtrays out for them to smoke in my house... sometimes, I just want to rip one out of their packs and light it up, but then again, I remember how filthy that first one tastes...

and I go back to the convo...

i've been craving a cigarette for a couple weeks now. i kinda smoke on and off but i barely ever smoke day in and day out. i like to smoke when i'm drinking or partying.

[Whippersnapper]

I thought about starting to smoke at my previous job, so I could actually get a break.

[lava]

I like to smoke when I'm drunk... and I like to be drunk when I smoke...

actually, that is why I started. If I had a cig in my hand, I could sit on my butt for 10 min out of every 90, but if I didn't, I was a goldbricker... so I started smoking.
