Not believing in a God is due to the activation of distinct higher-order brain networks. The results demonstrated that religious believers are more likely to use more intuitive and heuristic reasoning and that religious non-believers are more likely to use more deliberative and analytic reasoning. For example, non-believers are more likely to process sensory information, such as something they see, in a more deliberative manner that involves higher cortical areas, called top-down processing, involved in reasoning. In contrast, religious believers are more likely to interpret visual information in a more emotional or intuitive manner, called bottom-up processing, that involves more ancient brain systems. Religious believers share this bottom-up processing bias with people who believe in the supernatural or paranormal activity, such as telekinesis or clairvoyance.

someone drank the Jesus koolaid and stop with the gobbledygook

Gran conversación!

Thank you both for this interview! Enjoyed it very much

Great interview! I’ve used Wayne Grudem’s book as a reference for creating a course for churches called “Christian Citizenship- A Biblical View Of Politics”. His outline points on God’s Purpose for the United States (starting at 43:13 ) is powerful evidence to encourage those of us who believe we are called to be Ambassadors for the Kingdom on earth. Flawed as she is, no other nation has been a conduit of God’s blessing to the world. And that has been accomplished through the Church influencing government. If one is not moved by Wayne’s own emotion as he reflects upon the sacrifices of those who gave us this country, it shows a lack of education and gratitude. Thank you both!

Also when you are just saying that this is not right or a sin just cause God said it and there is no sensible logic behind it then there no scope for a person to argue farther and simply say it doesn't make sense.

And also stop reducing gay couples relationship to only sex temptation and lust. Obviously these are there but there is much more to a relationship like any other heterosexual relationship.

So ultimately if you have opposite sex attraction it's holy if it's monogamous but it's not holy if it's monogamous and same sex attraction ,on the top of that it's a sin. ... It's discrimination.... If a man lusts over his wife is not a sin but if a gay in a monogamous relationship and lust over his partner it's sin... So lust is sin unless you're in a monogamous opposite sex relationship.... It doesn't make sense if lust is sin then it should be for everyone... And if you say because heterosexual couple can reproduce it is justified then ban condoms cause anything outside procreative sex would be sinful that's lust... But no as long as it's a heterosexual couple sex is enhancing their relationship , it's holy, it's more than lust but if it's a homosexual couple it's only lust nothing more to it.... And all these declared by god and guess what god did not gave supporting statement it's like I'm god i said so and you have to follow it cause I'm god.... I personally do not want to follow this kind of god who will dictate me what to do rather that give me solid reason why i should do it.... I cannot believe in a narrow minded god. And we all know the reality of heterosexual marriage also... Divorce is a reality and that proves that what you think as a holy sexuality (1 man 1woman) collapse horribly sometime ❤🙏🏻.

Even as a pastor, I grow weary with Christians looking for the Lord Jesus Christ equivalency in a political candidate. To me, it is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever known as a Christian. Point being, when it comes to "human" candidates, I always see the choice as the lesser of two evils between said candidates. The vast majority of earthly candidates have violated some ethic, some law, some moral principle in their lives. Secondly, I was US Army soldier for near 30 years, 10 of it as a basic infantrymen. My allegiance to our US Constitution is secondary to the Bible. But, that does not lay aside my commitment, even though Retired, to protect our constitution "from all enemies foreign and domestic." We certainly have our domestic enemies and those enemies are in our White House and in our Congress. I am very passionate about what’s taking place in these United States against those who are attacking our God-given principles. Thirdly, there are sources, valid sources, that say that the adultery never occurred between Donald Trump and stormy Daniels . We know that people will purposely go out of the way to take advantage of Public figures; characters like a Stormy Daniels are too easy to predict such persons would seek to take advantage of a leader like President Donald Trump here in America.

My final thoughts, if a former president who is convicted of a felony can be selected as a candidate for presidency what changes will be made for others with felony crimes to be selected for jobs and government assistance?

I appreciate this discussion. I agree with the Jethro narrative for leadership. However does it apply to unbelievers? Also, the conviction may not change the equation in some people's minds but shouldn't it? If we are considering a Christian perspective we should question if there's genuine repentance. Where's the evidence of true spiritual transformation in said person?

Some good solid thoughts. Thanks for the biblical and analytical perspective. 🙏

Thank you for your great job. I watch you from Spain, and this is an issue that has been rounding around my mind because of the political system we have in this country. God bless you for helping us thinking biblically about this things.

Extremely interesting interview. Thank you, Erin, for all the work you and your team do for Immigrants in Indiana. Kudos!

I was hoping to glean expositional preaching for acts chapter 11 and it started out with stories.. and stubborn Peter this and that .... disappointed...

Dr. Grudem... thank you.

You have a right to your opinion, but you don't have the right to force your views on the rest of us. Get over yourself!

“People become insane during covid” - no kidding.

I wish Dr Myers would have referred to Summit Ministries as a ministry, rather than organization.

Great point about Rogan and Peterson followers.

Great stuff here. Very powerful. Thanks Mark for opening up.

It's a good ministry that these programs are available for those suffering from mental illness

'Rights in secular society can become frayed like parchment'

So good! Thank you. I bought your book.

Amen 🙏

Thanks for posting; Focus on the Family featured Dr. Jeff Myers' book 'Truth Changes Everything' recently. He addressed the difference between chronos (minutes) and Kairos (moments) which the presence of Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ : Father, Son and Holy Spirit one God now and forever accomplishes.

Hi Erik, have you ever heard of Life Surge or had any conversations with The Benham Brothers? I have been thinking over the information in your podcasts over the last several months and got invited to one of their conferences last weekend. What should I be aware of?

From the state budget of 1.5 million to federal budget of 10 million sounds like someone is getting paid

Love Good Citizen Project as it teaches practical suggestions on *what to do* rather than just saying *this is what we should do.* 🔥

That's good video and Nice content ❤❤

Great conversation guys!

This is so beautiful 😭 It's another precious and priceless story of who God is to us and for us. A real Father God and a real Savior God. Behold God is my Salvation....Learning to actually see ourselves and others through God's eyes. Seeing people and loving them (and ourselves) with no strings attached.

Very good video and the best content ❤❤

Christian nationalism is trying to enforce your dogma through the power of the state. You’re free to believe whatever bigotry you want, you’re not free to enforce those beliefs on other people. You can always find groups of members of minorities participating in their own oppression.

It's facism. Easily defined

Boomer christian mom wants to explain why z gen is so d@mn tolerant....

Just call it Nazism already....

Thank you for the nice lecture❤❤❤❤❤

Many instructive videos and many things to learn from the videos. Thanks for making beautiful videos❤❤❤

I don't know about you, but I've always thought that sensuality, love and affection between men was completely natural and normal for some men. Following a recent revelation, I'm absolutely sure that Jesus too was gay - the one that Jesus loved in the garden of Gethsemane and the young man running away naked and all that. The absolute bottom line for my gay and bisexual readers has to be that you have complete freedom of thought and freedom of conscience to make up your own mind on these issues and so don't be led astray by homophobic priests, clergy, ministers, pastors, imams, rabbis and all the rest of it! Your relationship with God and the Divine is yours alone and so take it and enjoy it and develop it in your own way and leave the religious homophobes to stew in their own juice! They're not spiritual people anyway and they don't want to grow so just walk away with your spirit and your dignity intact and leave them exactly where they are!

As a man that dwells with homosexuality and my Christian beliefs, I can clearly see nowadays that homosexuality, or any sort of fornication, is definitely not part of the divine design for humanity. God is perfect on his plans for us, we are the ones rejecting nature, and going after lust. We live at a time where the world is constantly telling us to be whatever we want to be, a world that celebrate lust, and the focus on "self", forgetting what God created us to be. Nowadays I decide to live according to the plans of God for me, to be defined by my spirituality, not my sexuality. Im not here to please myself and my flesh, but my creator. And I believe that by doing so, Im doing what I'm meant to do.

Would it be better to never be born or burn eternally in hell? Hell is the most horrific thing that could ever happen to a soul and if real the most moral thing a person could ever do is keep somone from hell in the first place. Christian support of forced birth shows the true hypocrisy of the Christian cult and lack of empathy. For the vast majority of human beings...billions upon billions according to Christianity...eternally burning and suffering in hell will be their fate! In fact if hell is real...the majority of human beings should curse their mothers who were selfish enough to risk extreme eternal suffering for them! Abortion is the most humane thing a mother could ever do...the risk of eternal torture far outweighs any life even eternal life. So yes while I may believe hell isn't real the vast majority of Christians do and that is what I am trying to understand!! Why force birth? Why place more human beings on the path of eternal torture? There are 2.3 billion Christians on the planet out of 8 billion people so forcing birth and thus eventual hell upon the majority of those born is something I can't really comprehend if Christians do really believe in hell???!!!! Christians have the most dangerous minds because no rational human being could ever embrace this monsterous dichotomy! How insane is a belief that makes human extinction the best option for the majority of humanity? What about this truth?

Consume. Consummation. It's burn to get the energy for it's power. Sexual abuse is hidden.

What a blessing this video was. Thank you to Heather for sharing her story and thank you for this platform. I was so shocked and humbled by the churches that Jesus sent to Heather to make her feel welcome. It made me understand a little deeper why God calls all types of people and creates Christians with different backgrounds. That was what Heather needed. I grew up in a conservative church that I know would not have been as understanding as the church that Heather attended but God saw that was what I needed. Neither is the wrong church. They are just not right for everybody. God in his wisdom will send you to the right one for you. Praise God for his wisdom.

Now, it's not your fault you were taught lies all of your life but you need to make a public apology, and do a video telling everyone the truth or you will be held accountable for the lies you have taught.

Anyone that rejects or deletes the messages sent from the messenger of Malachi also chooses to reject Jesus Christ himself and they will not make it to heaven. These messages are going to reach absolutely everyone in the world at some point and everyone will have a choice to make.

Actually, if you go back to the first SOCE ban (for minors) in California in 2012, it was never about abusive forms of therapy, but always about therapy in general to change same-sex attractions and/or behavior and identity (self-concept). The way the bans have broadened over time (pretty much soon after the first one) was to include banning efforts to change transgender identity.

Looks like I am the second viewer.... Praying for our Nation. Praying for our Pastors and Biblical Counselors as they minister God's Word and God's will concerning Christ-honoring sexual behavior.

Good thoughts. Epistemology is important to the pagan world.

Lead them with the problems of today and tomorrow. We don't like social media, we just don't have any other real option. Everyone kind of knows how much better life could be without soul crushing internet reliance, and most would've liked to live in a time without it. If you want to learn how to engage Gen Z, you should just ask us instead of older folk.
