jiggyman:No, even in Islam, Jesus is called the Messiah meaning the chosen one of God. The evidence of Jesus life, death, burial and resurrection show that Jesus is The Truth. |

Religious Experiences Shrink Part of the Brain A study links life-changing religious experiences, like being “born again,” with atrophy in the hippocampus The article, “Religious factors and hippocampal atrophy in late life,” by Amy Owen and colleagues at Duke University represents an important advance in our growing understanding of the relationship between the brain and religion. The study, published March 30 in PLoS One, showed greater atrophy in the hippocampus in individuals who identify with specific religious groups as well as those with no religious affiliation. It is a surprising result, given that many prior studies have shown religion to have potentially beneficial effects on brain function, anxiety, and depression. A number of studies have evaluated the acute effects of religious practices, such as meditation and prayer, on the human brain. A smaller number of studies have evaluated the longer term effects of religion on the brain. Such studies, like the present one, have focused on differences in brain volume or brain function in those people heavily engaged in meditation or spiritual practices compared to those who are not. And an even fewer number of studies have explored the longitudinal effects of doing meditation or spiritual practices by evaluating subjects at two different time points. In this study, Owen et al. used MRI to measure the volume of the hippocampus, a central structure of the limbic system that is involved in emotion as well as in memory formation. They evaluated the MRIs of 268 men and women aged 58 and over, who were originally recruited for the NeuroCognitive Outcomes of Depression in the Elderly study, but who also answered several questions regarding their religious beliefs and affiliation. The study by Owen et al. is unique in that it focuses specifically on religious individuals compared to non-religious individuals. This study also broke down these individuals into those who are born again or who have had life-changing religious experiences. Advertisement The results showed significantly greater hippocampal atrophy in individuals reporting a life-changing religious experience. In addition, they found significantly greater hippocampal atrophy among born-again Protestants, Catholics, and those with no religious affiliation, compared with Protestants not identifying as born-again. The authors offer the hypothesis that the greater hippocampal atrophy in selected religious groups might be related to stress. They argue that some individuals in the religious minority, or those who struggle with their beliefs, experience higher levels of stress. This causes a release of stress hormones that are known to depress the volume of the hippocampus over time. This might also explain the fact that both non-religious as well as some religious individuals have smaller hippocampal volumes. This is an interesting hypothesis. Many studies have shown positive effects of religion and spirituality on mental health, but there are also plenty of examples of negative impacts. There is evidence that members of religious groups who are persecuted or in the minority might have markedly greater stress and anxiety as they try to navigate their own society. Other times, a person might perceive God to be punishing them and therefore have significant stress in the face of their religious struggle. Others experience religious struggle because of conflicting ideas with their religious tradition or their family. Even very positive, life-changing experiences might be difficult to incorporate into the individual’s prevailing religious belief system and this can also lead to stress and anxiety. Perceived religious transgressions can cause emotional and psychological anguish. This “religious” and “spiritual pain” can be difficult to distinguish from pure physical pain. And all of these phenomena can have potentially negative effects on the brain. Thus, Owen and her colleagues certainly pose a plausible hypothesis. They also cite some of the limitations of their findings, such as the small sample size. More importantly, the causal relationship between brain findings and religion is difficult to clearly establish. Is it possible, for example, that those people with smaller hippocampal volumes are more likely to have specific religious attributes, drawing the causal arrow in the other direction? Further, it might be that the factors leading up to the life-changing events are important and not just the experience itself. Since brain atrophy reflects everything that happens to a person up to that point, one cannot definitively conclude that the most intense experience was in fact the thing that resulted in brain atrophy. So there are many potential factors that could lead to the reported results. (It is also somewhat problematic that stress itself did not correlate with hippocampal volumes since this was one of the potential hypotheses proposed by the authors and thus, appears to undercut the conclusions.) One might ask whether it is possible that people who are more religious suffer greater inherent stress, but that their religion actually helps to protect them somewhat. Religion is frequently cited as an important coping mechanism for dealing with stress. This new study is intriguing and important. It makes us think more about the complexity of the relationship between religion and the brain. This field of scholarship, referred to as neurotheology, can greatly advance our understanding of religion, spirituality, and the brain. Continued studies of both the acute and chronic effects of religion on the brain will be highly valuable. For now, we can be certain that religion affects the brain--we just are not certain how. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/religious-experiences-shrink-part-of-brain/ |

Steep:So I am not a Christian, I don't believe in ur God and I don't confess him to be my lord and saviour. Does that mean I am going to hell or heaven? |

God never sent anyone to hellfire. Another false doctrine. |

Hi everyone, if you accept God's salvation which is Jesus christ, God will give you eternal life, meaning even if you die now you will be with Jesus and at the resurrection you will be raised again not just perfect but immortal and glorified. |

Michelle70:every human will be judged and condemn to hell for their sin. The only offer of salvation freely is Jesus christ, no other religion offers you that, atheism, agnosticism, humanism etc does not offer salvation from sin only Jesus christ of Nazareth. |

Just like sex is good for us and particularly ment for purpose. But you have to get to that stage, like proper marriage in othe to avoid unwanted pregnancy etc |

Steep:So your god already knows that he'll send me to hell (he knows the end from the beginning) and he went ahead to create me so he can have someone to send to hell? Seems your god and the "devil" are in a kind of partnership. Except of course your god doesn't know the end from the beginning (is not omniscient) as you people claim. And why would god even send anyone to hell for their sins when he has already sacrificed his only son to himself because of the sins of the whole world? Maybe the sacrifice didn't work after all that's why you people are left to fight for your salvation yourself. It's such a shame that some of you can not even sit down to think with your brains and ask questions. What a waste of white matter in so many skulls!! |

Urgent1Million:You think you are smarter by insults? There is no connection between God knowing you actions and your actions itself. Infact God knows that you will sin and this sin will take you to hell that is why he planned to salvation for you but if you reject his help then justice will prevail you will bear your sin. |

Michelle70:Atleast these 5000 religions tells you there must be a God or divine being/beings all of them can not just be wrong right? It is your responsibility to search for the truth. But if you think you don't need God or you chose a God that you think resonate with you instead of seeking for the true God then it is on you not God. |

author=Kalulu44 post=136332209]Yes the sign has being here but the signs are getting more and more serious, God is patient with people like you so you don't perish however there is only so much he forbearance can go. Another thing is this, before the end comes people all over the world must hear the gospel so that nobody can have an excuse. |

God's judgement is simple and straight. He created humans on planet earth to be His representatives in keeping the planet in order and clean but those who feels they don't have any business with Him will be forgotten when He wants to reward His loyal friends that's all but claiming He will start roasting people in a place totally negates His personality! ![]() |

Michael547:That's how they misconstrue everything instead of asking for wisdom! Matthew 7:7-8 Death, Hell (Grave) and Evil aren't in God's plan from the beginning so these three will be destroyed for good never to exist again. That's the meaning of Revelations 20:14-15 but these churchgoers won't listen they will continue arguing blindly until they are stuck! ![]() |

Urgent1Million:God said if they ate from the tree that they will die.The serpent said naah you won't die. DID THEY DIE? Yes, they did. So who lied? He said that they will return to the dust cos out of it they were taken. He did not say they will go to hell Did they have other trees to eat from the garden? Yes. Does God have the right to set laws? Yes. Were the laws designed to make Adam and Eve fail? No. Remember, they had numerous options. If God does not have the right to set laws, why did your parents set boundaries for you? LOVE. Inherit righteousness from Noah? Was he perfect? No. Righteousness is not perfection. Jesus is the son of God. He is not God. He even said it. The devil has an appointed time for his destruction. What makes you feel he cannot be destroyed by God? If God had destroyed the devil earlier, you might have asked whether God was hiding smtn. Hence the time has. No human can defeat the devil in a fight, but we can flee from him with God's help. If you want to discredit the bible at least go through it and come up with points that can be found in the bible. Some people's Christianity is actually based not on what the Bible says but what they were told. . |
