If this is true, then why do ACErs still ride coasters on Sundays?

He beat me too, don't worry! [lol]
Anyway, I think it's actually a really interesting article. Could have really severe repercussions down the road if it's continued, though...."You religious folk have brain damage".

Woah, I'm an atheist and I thought my brain was damaged... I'll have to remember this.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

I've ridden a lot of coasters, and I can't say I have become more spiritual. However with each accident I have witnessed, I gotten a little wiser, with a little more gray hair.

I don't need any scientific study to prove that religious people are retarded. I've known it all along.

It's not so much them, it's their parents who drilled it into their brains from birth.

I dont know why, but some of the remarks and combacks and remarks people make remind me of the type of stuff that would happen if south park were to be made into a REAL movie, not some tv flick thing. Heh.

Just as a side remark here: there is a big difference between "spirituality," the "sense of one as a part of something bigger" which the article describes, and what TConwell, Real, and myself follow, namely Christianity, where we literally are praying one-on-one to a personal God.

And slosprint, I'll thank you to not generalize. There are great numbers of people who came to discover Christianity without any pressure from their parents whatsoever. (myself included.)

Like those Africans, south american groups, and north american groups that discovered it in a really friendly manner. Thank god it worked out really well for them and Africa isn't in shambles or anything. Additionally, it's great that we have American groups like The Fellowship that continually pump money into countries in need like Uganda that totally aren't in the process of committing genocide against gays to further the Christian view bestowed upon them by missionaries.

"Brain Damage Linked to Greater Spirituality"

That my friend, is one author's opinion.
