There's some interesting new psych research on the subject...


I think you are closer to the heart of the matter than you may
realize, Ed. Human psychology is definitely a complex area, where even
the most highly educated people can do some guesswork at least part of
the time, but the unspoken truth is that what you just posted, and
what scientists are researching in that area, makes a lot more sense
than most, if not all, religious texts (which, bottom line, tend to
play on Human emotions, not logic or reason).
Ultimately, logic and reason should win out. snip

Well, we can always hope, but I think that this must be one of the hardest
subjects to investigate scientifically while keeping your head on straight.
If you get into it, you make yourself a target from both sides.

Maybe it's a job for masochists. g
