There’s a part of our brain that becomes more active when we have spiritual experiences. It’s called the God-spot and in years past it’s been used to dismiss belief in God as a trick of the brain. The current news is that God-spot activity appears to jump measurably after removal of brain tumors and then drops back to normal levels. The surgery always causes short-term brain damage so it’s now being claimed that God-spot activity is related to brain damage and disappears when the damage from surgery heals. Never-mind that brains needing surgery are obviously damaged to begin with. The logic could just as easily be that removing tumors restores health to the brain and allows clearer perceptions of God before becoming re-acclimated to carnal input from the physical world which then clouds those clearer perceptions. The problem is that modern science seems predisposed towards cynical perspectives of God. Thus, the God-spot needs to be explained as something that discredits His existence.

 Tiger gets religion?
Tiger Woods publically apologized to his family, friends, and fans for behavior he labeled “irresponsible,” “selfish,” and “foolish.” He confessed to unfaithfulness, affairs, and cheating, calling them “wrong.” He expressed remorse and took responsibility. “It's up to me to start living a life of integrity,” affirmed the Associated Press’ Athlete of the Decade.

 The first rule of dinner-table conversation is no hot talk about politics or religion. Apparently, there's a rule regarding the discussion of religion during political talk shows, too.

By official count 22 young men were executed under Uganda's law on homosexuality. The law in question required that all men and boys in Uganda be willing to submit to the homosexual seduction of it's ruler, King Mwanga. When Ugandans began to convert to Christianity in the 1800s, a group of Catholics, led by Charles Lwanga, refused to allow themselves to be sodomized by the King. Enraged, King Mwanga had them torturously bound, marched 37 miles and then roasted alive in a fire pit. The date of their execution was June 3rd, 1886, and is today a national holiday commemorating Uganda's rejection of homosexuality and commitment to Christian values.

 I am not inclined to sign manifestos or petitions. While believing strongly and passionately about many causes, I am not usually impressed with the effectiveness of such statements and I am generally concerned about how such statements might be used or construed by others. I am not reluctant to speak for myself and from my own Christian convictions and consequent judgments.
