  2. From a neurological standpoint, studies show neural circuitry associated with critical assessment, and negative emotions, get switched off in romantic and paternal/maternal attachments (love/lust is blind). Same thing can happen to people who form a strong attachment to their god. I thought of CS when I saw this. Was saving it for the right post. 😉

    Just allow me a stupid question: what does “CS” stand for here? Looking it up yielde https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CS. There are a few additional meanings of the abbreviation in my own native language (German). 🙂

  5. I was thinking CS Lewis too since that fellow makes the same ridiculous claims as the other CS, although Lewis is a marginally better writer.

    I’m the third person who thought you were referring to CS Lewis. Read the Narnia classics to my kids when they were little – about the only thing he has in common with the ‘other’ CS is that they have vivid imaginations. (Springing from a common source)
