Sincere thanks for your best wishes and prayers. My father Roland Boire was a Monteraler, city counsellor under mayor Drapeau. He died young in 1980. My nephew Rollie, was named after him. Very sadly he died yeateday evening in the course of surgery to treat a clot in his brain. He was an especially beautiful person, loved by all who knew him for his capacity to love and respond to others wit a sincerity and openness one could sense. Again, thanks to each of you Paul May his soul rest in peace.

May his soul rest in peace. Thanks very much guys for your prayers and condolences. They do lighten the loads and I thank you. Most of the family is OK but we await my sister and brother-in-law's return. Tears will flow. Thanks again I should be up to browbeating again soon. Paul

Some neurologists speculate that God resides in the septum, a cluster of cells located near the front of the thalamus. They "proved" it by zapping the center of the brain with a transcranial magnetic stimulator, and there He was! Canadian psychologist Dr. Michael Persinger thought God might lurk elsewhere in the brain. A few years ago, he used such a device to stimulate the temporal lobes, and to his amazement he found God for the first time in his life. What would happen if an atheist's brain were stimulated? If he or she had a similar experience, it might reveal God to be a neural circuit.
Mohandas K. Gandhi expressed the uncertainty about God differently:
[God] is the greatest democrat the world knows, for He leaves us "unfettered" to make our own choice between evil and good. He is the greatest tyrant ever known, for He often dashes the cup from our lips and under cover of free will leaves us a margin so wholly inadequate as to provide only mirth for himself at our expense.
