Tell Us Something We Didn't Know, Boys
Certainly explains some of the religitards we have around here.

Quote:Study finds link between brain damage and religious fundamentalism

Quote:According to Dr. Grafman and his team, since religious fundamentalism involves a strict adherence to a rigid set of beliefs, cognitive flexibility and open mindedness present a challenge for fundamentalists. As such, they predicted that participants with lesions to either the vmPFC or the dlPFC would score low on measures of cognitive flexibility and trait openness and high on measures of religious fundamentalism.

The results showed that, as expected, damage to the vmPFC and dlPFC was associated with religious fundamentalism. Further tests revealed that this increase in religious fundamentalism was caused by a reduction in cognitive flexibility and openness resulting from the prefrontal cortex impairment.

And now the WLB wants to take their health care!

It is not as though they would be using their health care to seek professional psychological help anyway. Especially since they consider their religious leaders to be the only mental support they need.

I'm confused. Does this mean there needs to be less lobotomy's or more? Maybe just better.

Lobotomy, human tested, god approved!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
