Adam,
Not everyone who believes in God is limbic system impaired. This is a silly assertion. Tolerance is a good place. Most religions embrace a wide set of members. I don't consider myself ignorant or limbic impaired. People here seem to have no idea how sophsiticated and intellectual Christianity can be. It is no wonder based on the Christianity we see on the news. Mainstream Christianity does not believe in evangelizing much. Indeed, I would have no exposure to it but for an accident. It is a shame. Our democratic ideals in America mean we can choose. There are many wacko atheists out there. Wacko limbo impairment is not an exclusive description for believers only. We can all be wacko. I wonder sometimes why atheists feel it is their moral imperative to hound every believer. Next, I remind myself that this not true of atheists in general lbut a small subset. Don't lump people of my ilk with fundamentalists or Pentecostal members.
Emotions play a large role in our minds. Sometimes during bad storms, if I am safely inside, I can see how beautiful the storm is. There are other times, however, when thunderstorms or weird weather patterns bring me back to my childhood fear. The more time passes, the fewer times I think of Armageddon. I was exposed to this belief. Perhaps some brain chemistry occurs. Maybe the memories of Armageddon are a form of PTSD. There is no doubt that they are powerful.
