The Brain Creates Religion

[robocop]

So claiming that god doesn't exist really means that he does and I'm crazy.... damn, it's so obvious now, how could I have missed it. I can't wait until all religion is equated with mythology.

Google Michael Persinger...his research focused on creating sensations of Relious out of this world experiences in people using magnets

Yes it sounds kooky but it gets better...

People would have their brains stimulated by his magnetic headgear...and then some would report feeling angels/demons/aliens were in the room with them.

Don't know how far his reseach went but the early stuff was funded by the US navy looking into non-weaponry.

Lots of interesting work comes from that kind of research, here's the God helmet from Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.
