The question that makes fundies hostile

[Mystical]

Lyon, do you consider the happiness of someone stoned, the same value as that of someone sober? I don't. And that's how I see you--high and happy on your god because you can give all of your worries to god and not have to think about it anymore. Things work out as they would the same as for anyone--but you don't have to worry about it, and when things do go your way, you attribute it to this god you pray to.
Furthermore, I see in science, what's happening to your brain when you pray and its the same effect for Christian Pastors, Buddhist monks, Muslims, nuns, Hindu monks, etc.

"Andrew Newberg, neuroscientist at the University of Pennsylvania and author of a book entitled, “How God Changes Your Brain” has been scanning the brains of religious people for more than ten years. From a Pastor who prays 2 hrs a day for the last 25 years, to nuns, to monks. Newberg One of Newberg’s test subjects was Michael Baime, a doctor at the University of Pennsylvania and a Tibetan Buddhist who has meditated at least an hour a day forthe past40 years. Baime told Newberg that during a peak meditative experience, “he feels oneness with the universe, and time slips away.†“It’s as if the present moment expands to fill all of eternity,” he explains, “that there has never been anything but this eternal now.”

While Newberg scanned Baime’s brain, the Buddhist meditated, and his brain mirrored those feelings.As was expected, his frontal lobes lit up on the screen because meditation is sheer concentration. But what Newberg found most interesting was that Baime’s parietal lobes went dark.

“This is an area that normally takes our sensory information, tries to create for us a sense of ourselves, and orient that self in the world,” he explains. “When people lose their sense of self, feel a sense of oneness, a blurring of the boundary between self and other, we have found decreases in activity in that area.”

Newberg achieved the same results with other monks he scanned. Itwas the same when he imaged the brains of Franciscan nuns praying andSikhs chanting. They all felt the same oneness with the universe. When it comes to the brain, Newberg says, spiritual experience is spiritual experience. “There is no Christian, there is noJewish,there is noMuslim, it’s just all one,” Newberg says.
