Y-U-C-K-K-E-R-S!! So glad I got out before I went through the temple. Dodged a bullet there! I am a Number-One-To-The-Max Touch Person...which means, among many other things, that I do NOT want to be touched by people I do not want touching me. (I'm kinda major picky about this.) The idea of just a...

Wait so 1 of the 5 points was chest to chest? I just read that tonight but I don't thinks it's right. Time to investigate. It wasn't full-on. The right side of the chest was near enough, but the five points didn't include, specifically, chest to chest. To see this depicted in a way that does not vi...

No, it is not that simple. I think it's better understood as ...

But doesn't it really go deeper...how can two people who want the truth, who love truth above all else process so called truth claims, scrutinize them and form conflicting conclusions? How much does someone want the truth, and how much does someone want their beliefs to be true? I see almost no dis...

Emily Anne, Thanks for taking the time to write this. It is very informative. If I may, I would like to add a bit to what you have said here. Neuronal signals generated by external stimuli generally reach the amygdalae (there are actually two of them, one on each side of the brain) before they reac...

My understanding is that it has a lot to do with which parts of the brain are being used to process the information/ apparent information. Given the same facts, data, information: the brains of those who use the amygdala ("lizard brain") preferentially, and the brains of those who use the ...
