I try to share their enthusiasm, anyway.

How did you come by here?<br /><br />There is no communication between the two charts, and they are two 'types' of mind. The religious mind operates on a 'reward/punishment' response system (dependant on a central leader (and his rules) to establish/maintain it), and the rational mind operates on 'degrees of proof' (from 'empirically tested personally' to 'tested and trusted peer-reviewed' to 'sounds reasonable')... the x-axis is only a dividing line between acceptance /rejection responses in both, and the dot placement along it has no meaning at all, only the y-axis matters.<br /><br />Hope that made things clearer, and thanks for your interest ; )ThePromenaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246943406436827248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382548483898459869.post-55897154826524296622014-07-01T04:36:05.759+02:002014-07-01T04:36:05.759+02:00Hey Joe, wondering why you want to dichotomize the...Hey Joe, wondering why you want to dichotomize the "two minds" -- surely there are examples of "religious minds" having "rational responses" -- also, what is the x-axis meant to represent? it seems you've made, by construction, an impossible way in which the so-called "two minds" can communicate. Are you familiar with Godel? Cantor? Arthur Peacocke? Check them out!! Open your mind! ;-)Toronto Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256081836860921031noreply@blogger.com
