Cognitive Support for Irrational Belief Systems

In that religious history post I made, random_boy posted an excerpt from some graffiti bboards, back at cmu. It just made me think of and see the similarities between the mentalities of the fringe elements of “mainstream” religion (read “christianity”) in that conversation (with the noteworthy exception of ), and the followers of fringe religions. It also made me think of the title of a class, took, featured prominently in the subject of this post. =)
