<<...The brain is predisposed to having those experiences and that is why so many people believe in God."

The research may represent the bravest frontier of brain research. But depending on your religious beliefs, it may also be the last straw. For while Newberg and other scientists say they are trying to bridge the gap between science and religion, many believers are offended by the notion that God is a creation of the human brain, rather than the other way around.>>

"I agree. This stands alone as a principle. It has nothing to do with how we, as a society, decide to approach the "burdens.

No you don't agree, because there is no such thing as we. We does not cannot and never has existed.

We is a figment of your imagination and while your so called we might kid and cajole itself that we are our brothers keepers. It's nothing more than abominable conceit.

Imposing your idea of dignity, which may be flawed on another, is undignified, second rate and mediocre.

Now get out there and dance.
