Is Gilbert telling the truth here, or is he making something up from faulty memory? Has Kevin or someone else ever made the above claim? Confabulation because of faulty memory is a sign of cognitive dysfunction, which unfortunately many of us cannot escape irrespective of whether we go to the church, temple, bar or the night club. Another cognitive mishap in what Gilbert wrote is that he has truncated Mario's statement to change its meaning in his following quote: "You continue to tickle me pink, by once again assuring us that "church going, create positive and healthy mental attitude which is what is behind the beneficial effects."" ....Gilbert Lawrence Please see Mario's statement below: "If one lacks cognitive function to begin with going to church is hardly likely to create what is missing. What I was suggesting was that there are likely to be many social activities, in addition to church going, that create the positive and healthy mental attitude which is what is behind the beneficial effects." ....Mario Goveia Cheers, Santosh
