Paging Bob O'H! Bob O'H to the white courtesy phone!
Josh Rosenau, over at Thoughts from Kansas, brings attention to this article behind the paywall over at Nature magazine.
Josh quotes the money shot:
| Quote | | [In] a new paper by psychologists Ilkka Pyysiäinen of the University of Helsinki and Marc Hauser of Harvard University … individuals presented with unfamiliar moral dilemmas show no difference in their responses if they have a religious background or not. |
Anyone got a sock going over at UD? I am sure StephenB and GEM of Talky would like to see this so that they can critically re-evaluate their presuppositions regarding the objective moral code.
