I'm well aware of it's mutability, I was only referencing the attribute of chronology inherit to it.

We experience that perception in a linear fashion from life to death. Since perception is linear to time, doesn't it follow that memroy is? We can "rewind" that hard drive and view images and "memories" , but I thought it was a common concept that memory is like history in that it's a timeline. Am I that far off base? I really can't tell cause you sound exponentially more incoherent with every added sentence here. Anyway, you cannot rewind the tape as suggested. Research shows that memory gets rephrased, adapted and altered over time. In fact human memory is so unreliable that any serious court of justice thinks it is a problem.

Yes I meant memory as a mechanism. I'm sorry if I seemed a little sporadic, I was very dehydrated this weekend. I was talking about episodic memory being an autobiographical reference to events with it's own inate chronology.
And tying that back in the relevant point I was making. The amygdala (responsible for mostly emotional response) ties into the hippocampus (responsible for explicit memories), both of chich are in close proximation. As the increase in the fixation (or how many times it's processed through the hypocampus) from reliving it in memory, proportionally the emotional response would be stronger, IMO.
Here's a cool little site I found. http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/a/a_07/a...p_tra.html

Yes. Does that mean it cannot be questioned again by a newcomer? No

Well that would be dependant on whether God has human emotions. KN is right that the Bible does say "God hates sin" and things of the like. Do I think this is a personification? yes.
I didn't intend nor desire for this to be a religious discussion, hence my posting in philosophy and my previous utterance of this fact. I did however address your question. Are we going to continue down this road because I'd prefer to keep the conversation about something within human perspective to know?
