I'm not a fan of fundamentalist thinking of any stripe including the atheistic kind, but these kinds of self serving studies disturb me

If being a swedenborgian has a neurological basis then a therapy should be applied to those afflicted?


Listen, moron, every behavior has some neurological basis. Any ultimate Justification for imposing behavior modification could therefore never comes from the neurological basis of the behavior but must always through explicit or implicit appeal to the social implication of the behavior. There is much more social justification to eradicating Christianity than homosexuality.
