back to atheism.
perhaps the "god zone" in our brain accounts for what Freud termed the "oceanic feeling" that is the emotional basis for spirituality. Certainly it's interesting to consider what evolutionary function this area of the brain has -- why should we sometimes, some of us, get this feeling? does it support communal living and cooperation?
maybe i should study transcendental numbers like pi and e -- that's mysterious enough. or something in math. it will get over my head pretty quickly, but i can start with some laymen's books.
math. what can't it do for us?
