The Religion of Apple

Details: Tuesday, 17 May 2011 19:39

This is your brain on religion. This is your brain on Apple products. Don't be surprised if your brain looks the same under the influence of either one.

A team of British neuroscientists conducted a study in which they scanned the brain of an Apple user and discovered that Apple products stimulate the same part of the brain as religious imagery does in people of faith. The study was sponsored by a BBC documentary, "Secrets of the Superbrands," that examined the relationship between consumers and brands.

The program's creators said that they decided to use Apple as the object of their investigations when they passed by a London Apple Store and noted that the customers looked like they were participating in "an evangelical prayer meeting" rather than waiting in line to buy a phone or laptop.

"And when a team of neuroscientists with an MRI scanner took a look inside the brain of an Apple fanatic," documentarians Alex Riley and Adam Boome wrote, "the results suggested that Apple was actually stimulating the same parts of the brain as religious imagery does in people of faith."

The 'speaking of tongues' comes from within the 'human spirit' if it is Biblical 'tongues'. This gift of the Holy Spirit does NOT use the part of the brain of the 'religious'. This article confirms their is a 'religious side' of the brain which matches the 'downloads' of Apple AND delusionary 'spirits' sent to this tiny blue marble for these last of last days by God for His purposes (which indicates in II Thes. 2 it is for the purpose of sorting out those 'bent' toward darkness vs. those 'loving the light' on into the 'next life' promised EACH MAN, WOMAN, CHILD EACH IN THEIR OWN ORDER OF RESURRECTIONS (STANDING UP AGAIN IN FLESH & BLOOD SINFUL BODIES IN WHICH A CHILD IS STILL A CHILD AT 100, MAX LIFESPAN OF THIS 'NEW DUST' ON DIFFERENT SPHERES 1000 YRS) Jesu taught about this life AND the 'next'. "absent from the 'next life' body of life in sinful flesh makes possible to be present with the Lord, not from HEre"
