the mental illness one is an interesting one but still wouldn't involve
more than the region that handles emotion i don't think. how do you
think the readout would look if they thought that they were GOD?

Pretty bazaar if you ask me. But you wouldn't be able to convince them
other wise since they are in such a state of experiencing something an
outsider can't.

I have experienced cretin states of mind that I know have perfect
explanation that most other's would see as something supernatural.
Becuase I knew what was going on, that is why I poo poo the notion of
some so called supernatural experiences.

I wonder...Does a Muslim's God spot differ from a Jewish person?
Catholic different from say, a Hindu? And what about the atheist? What's
there where their God spot should be?

Totally whacko, man...-=x

i don't think they are any different except for the strength of their
convictions. i would bet that there is a spot for an atheist as well
because it really only senses emotion about a subject and they feel
strongly enough that there is not a GOD. i would be interested in seeing
that study.

Well, I don't know about any other dieties spot, but one who is a
believer of the Flying Spaghetti Monster might have a noodle in there
somewhere. LOL. How about a MySpot. Kind of like a MySpace thing where
people post there riligous experience and try to gather friends.
