Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism
RE: Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism
@R00tKiT

Quote:Looking -intently- at a woman in bikini lights up the ventral striatum in your brain (the part responsible for reward processing) and, unsurprisingly, triggers a dopamine release. In other words, your brain interprets the scene as some "time for your reward, you win" moment, even though you're telling us it's just an innocent, natural moment. And when you get used to staring at women at beaches, your brain eventually creates an association between those scenes and intense feelings of pleasure. Would you like your wife to trigger intense feelings of primal pleasure for other men ? I assume not?

You assume wrongly. My own wife (at 53) triggers that response in other men, because she's a slammin' hottie. It doesn't make me uncomfortable, I find it delightful. Ranjr is right - any man who feels otherwise is insecure.

Nor do I fear for her safety. Any man who puts his hands on her is likely to carry his trouser tackle home in a bag.
