[quote name="Alessandra"]I also understood that the cartoon refers to neuroscience (the pineal gland explanation). That was the first thing that came to my mind. Oh Gosh!

About the idea of the soul existing in a place in the brain, I guess neuroscientists try to explain the physical benefits of the religiosity, for example. So, it would be like the idea of the soul having a scientific explanation...

Dracula, I think he meant to say that god is in the mind or the imagination. I don't think he was talking about the soul. That would be too deep for cartoons.
