The comment is true, but to say it makes his statement false isn't accurate, because how are brain processes something can depend on how we feel about it and our chosen response. In other words, you're trying to disqualify one part of the process that can affect other parts of it. Two people can experience the same stimuli, have different feelings about it, and their brain may process it completely differently. Example: One person can like what the president said and feel confident or another person can disagree and feel distress, or even feel like it's an attempt at betrayal. Maybe it's something to do with taxes and one person is getting the short end of the stick. Well you might see anger. Maybe they're saving money. They might feel happy and relieved. What applies to one person doesn't necessarily apply to others. I'm guessing Agnostico probably is more left-brained in his approach to life. I couldn't say the same about myself, as I favor the right hemisphere. It doesn't mean you don't use both, but the capacity we use both is different.
Actually the point flew right over your head. Science knows how brains process. OF COURSE they "feel" differently. Those feelings are processed in known parts of the brain.
A process being the same (OBVIOULSY with different inputs) OBVIOULSY will produce different outcomes. Other than being Mr. Obvious, you comment is ignorant and quite useless.
Beliefs and emotion are NOT processed in the same parts of the brain.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
