First, let's look @ the assumption headline & the assumptive study:
That this was somehow measuring THE "God" -- versus "religious feelings"...which, when dealing cults like Mormonism...is worlds apart.
ScienceDaily.com reports when it ran these experiments by Mormons:
"When our study participants were instructed to think about a savior, about being with their families for eternity, about their heavenly rewards, their brains and bodies physically responded," says lead author Michael Ferguson, who carried out the study as a bioengineering graduate student at the University of Utah.
Of course, they (these former Mormon missionaries) physically responded!
The Mormon false narrative that families will automatically be eternally together would of course trigger an emotional reaction!
Jesus, btw, set the record straight on this:
51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” (Luke 12:51-54)
Indeed, millions of families are united in Jesus, in His Gospel. But many more, historically & otherwise, are not!
Heavenly rewards? [I'll cover this on next post]
Put a Mormon back in the machine and ask them how many of their 'Forever Family' have valid TR cards.
Heck; just ask any Mormons reading this thread if seeing an ELSIE ping sets off an emotional reaction in their brain!
