On Religion
I never know how to explain how I feel about religion, how I’ve come to the conclusions I’ve come to, why I believe what I believe to people who ask me.

fuckyeahexistentialism:
In the 1980s, neuroscientists studying the brain processes underlying out sense of conscious will compared subjects’ judgments regarding their subjective will to move (W) an actual movement (M) with objective electroencepalographic activity called readiness potential, or RP.
