If it turns out to be the wind, no harm but a little stress. If our minds miss a real predator by not making that imaginative leap, game over. So our brains generate patterns spontaneously, relentlessly. Even where no pattens exist, "I see a ducky in the clouds...no wait those are two breasts... no four breasts, awesome, a threesome...no sorry, it is just a ducky." I have also read that being an atheist or a so-called non-believer, doesn't bypass this reaction. It only gives someone a different conversation with himself after the fact. > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "RoryGoff" <rorygoff@> wrote: > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "RoryGoff" <rorygoff@> wrote: > > > > > > > > * * And as a true believer in the salvific power of the Golden-Domed > > > > Church of the Giant radiantly luminous Jellyfish (known familiarly > > > > as GrlJ, and again, as we are a Metropolitan Church, the "J" is to > > > > be pronounced European-style as a "Y"), may you hereby be welcomed > > > > officially to the True Tendrils and join the hallowed ranks of the > > > > GrlJ-men.
