wrong with them maybe they're a bad person maybe they're an evil person and so it can you can see how it while on one hand it's so important to develop this sense of meaning and ideas about how the world works it's fundamental to our survival but it really can create a lot of of strife and angst against other people who don't see the world the same way and that to me is also where i hope neurotheology can help us

Yeah, absolutely. Because if you now view them as evil, as wrong, Part of what I think ultimately can happen is you have, not you, but one has their perspective of reality and what kind of exists within that reality. So if you have this person who's out there who is not seeming to fit into that reality,

it's almost as if they are not real and they are not human they are not real they're the embodiment of evil and so it is something where you might ultimately feel that you really do dehumanize them and so i agree part of what i to your point what i hope that neurotheology kind of helps us to say is to people well look all of us are in the same boat all of us have a brain that

more or less functions the same way but each of our brains are affected by our genetics by our upbringing by the the good things that happen to us the traumas that happen to us the people our parents our friends our teachers and then here we are at this moment looking at the world it's no wonder that we see the world a little bit differently every one of us is going to see the world differently and even if you line up 100 people who are all
