According to http://washingtontimes.com/world/20041114-111404-8087r.htm - The Washtington Times some scientists think they may have found a gene that gives people the predisposition to believe in God....Interesting stuff, but there are some scary possible reprecussions, should we ever really impliment genetic modification of our children... -------------  |

Oh man that would suck hard. Religious nuts engeneering their kids to be blind religious zealots. I cant imagine a more annoying, bigoted world... |

Posted this in chat earlier.
I do love the religious rebuttle. No, it's not true because we say it's not. Rather than actually trying to disprove him. -------------

Oh man. My fantasy of a crazy government is slowly coming true. I can't wait for a police state. Who wants to make some molotov cocktails and ambush some cops?

LOL! Awsome. As a side note to all this, as far as genetically engineering our kids, as I think it about it, it would probably be a pretty idea without this gene.... ------------- |

Personally I dont see what all the fuss is, its not something we should "ZOMG ANIHILLATEZORZ!1", suggestions like that scare the crap out of me (as mentioned earlier, nazis anyone?), its just a gene. Further more the more religious people should be thrilled by this news, whos to say a creator didnt install this gene in us to make us beleive? BTW, not meaning to be anal ryan but very old article, seen it on a few other forums a while back

| At first I laughed, but after I thought about it, I wouldn't mind my kid getting that. I wouldn't have to worry about the kid making the choices I did. It would be a religous zealot. |

Meh Dar, it was in my Google reader so I thought I'd share. But anyway, if God put that in there to make us believe wouldn't that be violating the supposed freedom of will? Oh and I hope Apoth never has kids. ------------- |

| But think of it from my perspective: with that I will never have to worry about them making good decisions, getting pregnant at a young age, doing drugs, ect. |

Some of the worst decisions ever made were made by some of the most religious people... Besides that, I'd rather have my kids make 1000 mistakes than genetically brainwash them into being superstitious sheep... ------------- |

Yeah... Instead they'd need other reasons to suicide bomb each other- like favourite football teams, or preferred flavours of ice cream. And without all the time devoted to killing each other over religion, the Irish might isntead have taken to drink and wrecked themselves as a race! Hang on a sec... No, never mind. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America. It is forced and the democrats are behind it, with the goal of eugenics at its foundation." -FreeEnterprise, 21 April 2011.
