    Chuck Rost, only posts his trolling religious bullshit on Sunday's, he's not a trader, no mention of trading.
    Chuck gets his inspiration to post on ET after attending church, his church minister probably telling his sheep "Go out to the world and preach, we could do with more income to fund a new church and more land we need to buy".

    Hey bright eyes, you are the one that made the assertion, so you have the burden of proof, please provide the actual paper in your original post by Johnstone Holliday Cohen (2016)

    I tried to find the paper online myself but all I found was a paywall here:

    https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13674676.2016.1238449

    And the links you provided in your new post are not the same paper you had in your original post. Shady.

    Simple question, did you actually read the paper you linked to in your original post? If not, you lazy. If you did, then that means you have the paper, so send it along. Or are you in fear?

    Link etiquette suggests you should preface or follow a link with a description or summary. Ideally you would bring out the main takeaway, and what you want people to learn from it. You can also use links to support some assertion you are making. If you're telling a joke you can use a link to support the joke

    I've followed this etiquette so much so that it feels lazy and disrespectful when people don't.

    So I'm still not going to sit at the feet of a narcissist who is standing behind a podium with a microphone echoing his voice off the rafters so he can enjoy hearing himself speak. You should be the one that does that so I don't have to.

  5. Wait! You mean there’s more than one small study linking epilepsy and religiosity? How embarrassing for me.

    Go pray with yourself.

  8. I also posted this link earlier in this thread:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4550801/

    Perhaps you were too busy praying to notice.

    Meanwhile, a True Believer wishes to school me on statistics. I bet you own at least one MAGA hat.

    There is no statistics in the paper you cited, it is case study of one individual.

    Regarding this person, the paper states: "He was constantly making religious remarks, saying “God is with me and I do not need doctors or medications.”

    That is not a religious remark, that is a psychotic remark.

    God provided doctors to help us, the Apostle Paul referred to Luke the physician as "beloved" and brought him along with him in his travels. As evidenced in the following Bible verse.

    Colossians 4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

    No, I don't like Trump, see my other post as referenced here:

  10. With reference to other studies:

    A handful of large studies provide better characterization of these events. In 1989, Roberts and Guberman showed in a study of 50 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy that 51 percent of these patients had an experience of salvation [4]. In a study of 234 patients [5], 1.3 percent had ictal religious experiences, usually associated with right temporal lobe origin. Experiences included a sense of presence of God and auditory or visual hallucinations of God [5]. A more recent study in 2014 showed that self-reported spirituality scores were higher not only in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy but also in epileptics with lower education level which may influence their response to these epileptic spiritual events [6]. Religious manifestations not only present with behavioral changes but also with motor manifestations. Lin et al. described the Sign of the Cross as an ictal hand automatism in four out of 530 patients [7]. All four patients had temporal lobe epilepsy. This report was done in Brazil, the country with the largest Catholic population in the world, possibly suggesting that the religious background might have played a role [7].

    But rather than further consider those other studies, you opt to quote scripture. Please stop with all the science.
