I dont take drugs much any more, I am getting older and they can be rough on
the body, so to alleviate the discomfort I keep myself down to maybe one drug
trip a year, so that does not explain it. AS for knowing the feeling, thats what
I was talking about Neurotransmitters for. The same molecules give you the
religious feeling, are responsible for the feelings of empowerment and
emlightenment I get. This has been demonstrated in the MMRIs that can measure
these responses and localize them in the brain. These tests have been done on
religious people around the world, and the chemicals are the same. Are you
suggesting that God gives you this feeling and it has no bio-chemical reason at
all? There is no linkage between the feeling and the chemicals your brain
produces. Think about it before you answer.
