61: Mark My Words

Neurotheology and the God Gene

The discussion turns to "neurotheology" and the study of how the brain processes religious experiences. The hosts discuss the "God Gene" (VMAT2) and the theory that humans are genetically predisposed to believe. They argue that while faith is a powerful tool for social cohesion, it can be manipulated. Pastor Gino Jennings returns in a clip to urge believers to use "common sense" and seek medical help when truly ill, rather than relying on "false prophets."
