The original article:
http://unews.utah.edu/this-is-your-brain-on-god/"Religious and spiritual experiences activate the brain reward circuits in much the same way as love, sex, gambling, drugs and music, report researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The findings will be published Nov. 29 in the journal Social Neuroscience."
I'm glad that prayer is finally being medically identified as a pleasure-seeking behavior.
"In one experiment, participants pushed a button when they felt a peak spiritual feeling while watching church-produced stimuli."
That's a very old shade of gray.
