    That study is actually very damaging to the hypothesis that the brain had certain areas devoted to religious or theistic thought.
    It showed that people use the same parts of their brain to contemplate mundane actions or the actions of others as they do to contemplate the actions of any potential god.

    From Professor Grafman, the guy that ran it:
    "There is nothing unique about religious belief in these brain structures."
    "Religion doesn't have a 'God spot' as such, instead it's embedded in a whole range of other belief systems in the brain that we use every day."

    So much for your 'born a theist' claim, Fan.

    I've got home-made spicy butternut squash soup.

    Could lead to a Johnny Cash moment.

    See they're talking of merging North and South Lanarkshire councils.

    Civil war could break out me thinks.
