next let's study long term effects ...

quote:
The study found that, of the 66 participants, children who went to church or were enrolled in a parochial school were significantly less able than secular children to identify supernatural elements, such as talking animals, as fictional.

It would be interesting to see how this holds up in longer term studies or in testing of people in:

(1) middle school
(2) high school
(3) college
(4) adulthood
(5) US congress ...

I think the later would prove very interesting ...

Re: Symbolism, Belief & Intention

the substance, i.e. its essence,

Is this "essence" quantifiable?

I have no idea ...

If you don't measure any difference is that because ...

... there is no difference, ... or
... you don't have a methodology\equipment to measure the difference ...

(okay I'll keep quiet now ... except to say that it still smacks of cannibalism to me ... maybe you need cannabis beforehand to get the full experience ... )

You don't actually believe this stuff do you?

On a certain level, I believe in Santa Claus: Santa is us ...

And who's to say that the element of Santa in us is due to the spirit of St. Nick pushing us ... ?

Love Pogo - best comic strip every in my youth.
