ahhh, I read similar researches. Guess the word "religion" threw me. Not
surprised after the last couple of days. heehee.

The temporal lobes are mysterious and seem to be able to generate or support
transcendental/spiritual/religious experiences. Now, y'all know that the pineal
gland is supposed to be somewhat near the temporal lobes although more frontal
lobed located so maybe there is something to that.
*shrug*

I haven't read any recent research on that but it seems quite feasible.
