Reporting in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the researchers see the evidence as contradicting the common belief that religious behavior is determined strictly by environmental and cultural factors. They see a biological underpinning for religiosity, and it is related to the neurotransmitter serotonin. _________________ MY YouTube Videos

There are more seratonin receptors in your gut than your brain. Maybe that's where the Mormons get the 'burning in their bosom'.
DMT: Spirit Molecule, pineal gland, third eye, dreams, fantasies...check it.
