WEDNESDAY, May 25 (HealthDay News) -- Older adults who say they've had a life-changing religious experience are more likely to have a greater decrease in size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain critical to learning and memory, new research finds.
...or conversely, those who had no religious affiliation, had more hippocampal shrinkage (or "atrophy") compared to people who identified themselves as Protestants, but not born-again.

Saw this coming decades ago. The potential for abuse is incalculable. However, do I find my born again friends can’t be bothered to reason too vigorously? Sadly, it does seem that way. Why would you need to think about anything, if all the answers are written down?
This is trying to make out believers as something less than human......it’s what all tyrants try todo to justifyntheirmgenocidal plans for a certain group.
“to justify their genocidal plans...”. Not enough coffee I guess!
It’s all manipulative bull. It has nothing to do with science. It is conducted in the spirit of eugenics - separating out and dehumanizing those the Left wants to kill from the ones they tolerate. They hope it will lead to Christians denying Jesus for fear of being labeled retarded. In the new deathcare rationing system, retarded people won’t fair too well.
Straight out of the mouth of Lucifer himself.
Does this mean they’re qualified for disability?
“It is conducted in the spirit of eugenics...retarded people won’t fair too well.”
Eugenics, the “science” used by Margaret Sanger and Adolph Hitler.
Just like today’s Godless leftists, Nazis were all about demonizing the innocent (racist, terrorist TEA party) and euthanizing the unwanted (abortion).
It does not surprise me they try to label Christians as retarded, because Nazis had them exterminated for the “greater good”.
Nothing like some good old fashion Nazi propaganda by our resident leftist elitist media in the morning.
Dang, I thought there was a new word to learn. I am having serious hip problems and though that "hippcampal" might be for ME this time. :o)
There are an awful lot of variables to control for to make this sort of study meaningful and I'm not reading where they did that.
The modern Left wants to pull a Hitler on Christians. They can’t go after all Christians in America - the number is too large. Polarization is the name of leftist the power game.
They can select a clearly defined group of Christians and demonize them - small brained nothings. Being secular herd followers, most Chrisitans not demonized will happily yell “kill him” (not us!.) Jewish “leaders” (communists and bigots) will yell for the deaths, too.
It’s coming. I plan, that if this happens in my lifetime, to be murdered even though I am not of a particular Christian church. I am a Christian of whatever the elitists contemplate murdering. F them; they will go to hell.
Good thing for the liberals no African-Americans have ever been "born again!" [/sarc]
That's exactly what some chr*stian FReepers do to other chr*stian FReepers.
See what I mean?
I’d rather be ‘stupid’ for Jesus than whatever fate awaits godless ‘geniuses’.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
