Subject: RE: BS: Your Brain, Your Brain on God
We have the will to override our biological urges. Some people are better at it than others, which is why there is still rape. Among other things. Like kindness, which some people also override.
Other apes' brains make decisions for them. We have minds and can make up our own, and then still decide to behave yet another way.
I love living in an era with fMRI. We are learning so much about our brains it's getting absolutely ridiculous. They can tell if you're thinking like a conservative or a liberal, and all kinds of fun stuff now.
