Scientists find areas of brain responsible for spirituality...

[JimBowie1958]

no problem! great subject!
I see the rationalizing is rolling in.

Rationalizing? It is still a contentious issue, dumbass.

The real situation is we don't know if the brain causes certain behaviors or if there is interplay or the brain has no impact at all on anything and wwe all freely choose everything we feel and do.

Human Behavior, My Brain Made Me do It? - Dealing with Stress and Anxiety Management – Coping Mechanisms from MentalHelp.net




But for libtards the pay off comes with a society that accepts that none of us are responsible for our behaviors, for being crooks, being fat, addicted to drugs, etc.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/29/opinion/sunday/neuroscience-and-moral-responsibility.html?_r=0

Each of our behaviors is always associated with a brain state. If we view every new scientific finding about brain involvement in human behavior as a sign that the behavior was not under the individual’s control, the very notion of responsibility will be threatened. So it is imperative that we think clearly about when brain science frees someone from blame — and when it doesn’t.

Unfortunately, our research shows that clear thinking on this issue doesn’t come naturally to people. Several years ago, with the psychologist Edward B. Royzman, we published a study in the journal Ethics & Behavior that demonstrated the power of neuroscientific explanations to free people from blame. ...

So by the neuroscientists brain-controls pov, a rapist is really guilty of nothing since he never really made a choice; his brain did and he was just along for the ride, lol.

Total bullshit for weak minded ass hats.

Obviously if your brain malfunctions and you are blind, deaf, cant read, or whatever, that impacts your life and behavior, but NOTHING determines it.

ironic that....
believers scream about free will incessantly but never actually use it.

What a lie, we all use it every day. That is why it is called, 'making choices', dumbass.

stinking drunk? Lol, dude, wake the hell up. It is already happening throughout the first world.

edited for being off topic ,paranoid raving and bigotry...

Now it is bigotry to report true documented events?

Lol, you libtards are so ******* stupid, it is just incredible.

NO it's not jimbo your use of the info is ...

bullshit !
I've yet to see you make a "choice" based on freewill.
spewing bigoted shit and pontificating constantly is indoctrination not freewill...

 

[Quantum Windbag]

as much ass you yammer on about others not having free will I suspect you have none of your own...

Did you skip reading in school?

I have consistently argued that everyone has free will, which is why I have the exact same level of contempt for studies that prove being gay is a mental disease.

On the other hand, you did make my point for me, thanks for that.

no but you must have .
this proves my point "I have consistently argued that everyone has free will"
that is true so much so it's morphed in a kinda of robo calling...

Yes, everyone has free will, even the people that deny it. You are what you are because of the choices you made in response to external factors that were beyond your control, even if you don't remember making those choices. Studies that show that gays can be cured are bullshit.

The reason I sound like a robocall is that idiots keep looking for evidence that it is not their fault.

I agree homosexuality is not a decease..
I would exchange excuse for evidence it has a better fit!

Excuses are easy, a psychologist doing a study that "proves" that being gay is an inheritable genetic defect just to shore up his belief that people are born gay is manufacturing evidence to support a bias. People who post those studies here, and claim that they amount to actual peer reviewed studies that prove that homosexuality is not a choice are looking for that evidence.

What is amusing is that people always want to find God under the microscope ... here is the love spot .. this is the soul spot .. over there is the near death experience spot!

No need of microscope to find That Who already Lives inside all of us and beats our hearts this very instant!

We have to find It yet ....but that is another story!


ok let me I get off the soap box now

Okay fine. But what will be your reaction if we find that he/she "who already lives in all of us" is just the pattern of firings of certain brain cells in response to certain external stimuli?

 

[orogenicman]

Not if the fascist libtards get their way. You wont be able to think freely and speak your mind without going through a checklist of PC hate-speech laws.

You should refrain from becoming stinking drunk before you post.

Police Arrest Man in England For Calling Homosexuality a Sin | JONATHAN TURLEY

Swedish Pastor Faces Jail for Preaching against Homosexuality - Research - Chalcedon

A Swedish pastor who preached a sermon on the Biblical prohibitions against homosexual behavior is waiting to see if the Supreme Court of Sweden will send him to jail for six months for doing so.

Ake Green, the pastor of a small-town Pentecostal church, delivered his sermon in 2003 and has been in the prosecutor’s crosshairs ever since. Charged with violating a Swedish hate speech law that protects homosexuals from “intimidation” and “agitation,” he was sentenced to a month in jail last year by a district court. An appeals court overturned his conviction, but the prosecutor has appealed to the Supreme Court and has asked that the 68-year-old pastor’s jail term be increased to six months.

The Supreme Court heard arguments this month and is expected to rule sometime next year.

Hate Speech?
Pastor Green’s sermon, entitled “Is Homosexuality Genetic or an Evil Force that Plays Mind Games with People?”, carefully cites Bible passages demonstrating that sodomy, in the eyes of God, is a sin. He warns that Sweden, because of its embrace of homosexuality, may be in acute danger of God’s judgment. He teaches that persons guilty of this sin, by repenting and relying on God’s grace, can be freed from bondage to it and saved.

The pastor backs up everything he says with verses from the Bible. At no point does he advocate violence against homosexuals, condone hatred or rejection of them, or recommend any action but prayer and the preaching of the gospel (for the complete text, see http://www.faithandaction.org/10604Oscarsson.htm).

Nevertheless, homosexuals complained and the prosecutor went into action. This is because Sweden has a law that “prohibits the expression of ‘disrespect’ towards favored minority groups,” explained Jared Leland of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty (The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty), who has written a “friend of the court” brief that has been accepted into the record by the Swedish Supreme Court.

CULTURE NEWS: Canada: Pastor Found Guilty of Hate Crime

Five years ago in Alberta, Canada, a former pastor and head of a Christian organization, Stephen Boissoin, sent a letter to a local paper on the issue of sexual orientation. Two weeks later a gay teen was beaten up, and the pastor, and the pastor was charged with violating human rights law because the letter likely exposed gays to hatred and contempt - despite the fact that he had never advocated violence of any sort in his letter or otherwise....

Priscilla Jael made the following observations:
•This pastor has had to finance his own legal defense for the last five years.
•The accusers bore no expense. He simply made an accusation and the government spent taxpayer money to prosecute him for SPEECH.
•This is exactly the kind of 'hate crimes' legislation our U.S. Congressmen have attached to the Defense Bill hoping to get it enacted into law.
•Our pastors need to consider, study, pray about, and answer as few questions:
1.If we are fined for preaching truth, do we pay the fine?
2.Do we pay it if the money will go directly to an anti-Christian group (like below)?

To a degree this fascism disguised as anti-hate speech is already here, the authorities simply use zoning laws etc to do the arrests, could even use simple 'criminal mischief'

None of which has anything to do with my original response nor my response to your response of my original response.

I will make one response to all of your whining above. I don't condone violence by anyone, and never have. That said, I find it rather strange that Christians would pretend to be the victims with regard to this or any other issue at this late date.
