Being 'Born-Again' Linked to More Brain Atrophy: Study
04/21/2012 2:01 PM

WEDNESDAY, May 25 (HealthDay News) -- Older adults who say they've had a life-changing religious experience are more likely to have a greater decrease in size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain critical to learning and memory, new research finds.

According to the study, people who said they were a "born-again" Protestant or Catholic, or conversely, those who had no religious affiliation, had more hippocampal shrinkage (or "atrophy") compared to people who identified themselves as Protestants, but not born-again.

The study is published online in PLoS ONE.

As people age, a certain amount of brain atrophy is expected. Shrinkage of the hippocampus is also associated with depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Bullshit is exactly the right word.

  Yes Sir, there is sure a lot of Christian chicken shits.  They can't take anything, they get up and walk out.  Like Bullshit is a really bad word, but flogging a queer is alright. 

  To think at one time I believed all of this bullshit.  But after years and years of thinking about all this bullshit I finally just came out and said, there is no god, the bible is a classical piece of bullshit, lies, fairytales.  Prayers don't work and neither does god bless everyone and the United States of America.  Believe it of not we're here on earth on our own, for if there is a god, he sure doesn't give a damn and should be fired.   :yes: :rant:

"The second you see your son dropping that limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist," Harris said in the Sunday sermon. "Man up. Give him a good punch."

"You're not going to act like that," the pastor advised parents to tell their children. "You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male."

Indeed!  If he's like so many of the other pastors who are outspoken against homosexuality, there's a good chance he's most likely guilty of some unspeakable depravity himself.  :yes:

If he's making public statements against homosexuality, you can bet he is probably paying a male prostitute for multiple services.  Never fails.  If he is speaking out on porn, he has a female prostitute, or fucking one of his deacon's wives.  If he is shouting about child porn, he is fucking little children, somewhere.  It just never fails.

Looks like God killed off a few young graduates from Oral and Anal Robert's University who were on their way to a youth conference serve him by indoctrinating a few more youth into the collective.




KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A small airplane that crashed in southeast Kansas on Friday was carrying five people with connections to Oral Roberts University to a Christian youth rally in Iowa, a friend of three of the victims said Saturday.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported four of the passengers died and one was badly injured. The fatalities were identified Saturday as Luke Sheets, 23, of Ephraim, Wis., who was flying the plane; Austin Anderson, 27, of Ringwood, Okla.; Garrett Coble, 29, of Tulsa, Okla.; and Stephen Luth, 22, of Muscatine, Iowa.

Hanna Luce, 22, of Garden Valley, Texas, was critically injured and admitted to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. Her condition was unavailable Saturday afternoon. The recent graduate is the daughter of Oral Roberts trustee Ron Luce, founder of Teen Mania Ministries, which was sponsoring this weekend's Acquire the Fire rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The National Transportation Safety Board said the twin-engine Cessna 401 went down around 4:30 p.m. Friday northwest of Chanute, Kan. NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said the eight-seat plane caught fire after the crash.

"The plane lost contact with air traffic control after getting permission to descend to a lower altitude," Knudson said. "After that, there was no further communication."

Brooke Ninowski, who recently graduated from Oral Roberts, said she had been friends with Anderson for about two years — he was her brother's roommate for a semester. She said they also had a few classes together.

Ninowski said she also knew Luth and Sheets through school, noting that Luth had dated one of her best friends.

"They were guys who stuck to their morals and it showed through their character, and how they treated people," she said. "They thought of others first. I don't know if the reports are true about Austin, that he might have pulled Hannah out of the wreckage, but that wouldn't surprise me in any way."

Sheets, Coble and Luth were killed at the scene, while Anderson died at a hospital in Wichita just before 5 a.m. Saturday, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.

"They were going to an Acquire the Fire event run by Teen Mania Ministries," she said. "They're put on in various cities, Christian youth rallies where young people come together and learn about God."

On Saturday, Oral Roberts President Mark Rutland issued a statement asking the university community to pray for Luce and remember those who were killed. He said Luth, Sheets and Anderson were recent graduates, and Coble was a former business instructor at the school.

"The entire ORU community grieves for the families of the ORU graduates who lost their lives in this tragic plane accident," Rutland said. "May God grant them peace and they reflect on the precious lives that were so dear to their hearts. We continue to pray for those who are recovering."
