Forget religion. Um, sorry, Jim Guinee, I only meant forget arguing about it on TIPS, at least for a while.
Try this one instead. It's a long article but provocative, and I think it merits a full reading from start to finish. There are three short videos interspersed within the text. I suggest you watch the first two of them (not the third) before moving on to the text, so you can get an idea of your own reaction before you find out what's going on. The headlines at the start are admittedly difficult to avoid, though. I use the term "experiment" not in the sense in which it's usually taught in psychology, as a study involving randomized assignment of subjects to groups, but in the more general sense of a systematic investigation of a particular issue. Such as the Stanford prison experiment, or Milgram's obedience experiment. http://tinyurl.com/2273gm And I thank my googly daughter for drawing this one to my attention. [Googly: noun. A bowled ball that swerves in one direction and breaks in the other.] Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
