You think the devil tempting them both for 40 days and 40 nights. Obviously morality like, don't kill or steal has been around far before Jesus. So if Jesus didn't invent morality; then what do Christians cling to but his divinity. If the stories of his divinity are plagarized from...

Are you sure he was an ENTP, and not an EXTJ? I have met a considerable amount of both ENTPs and EXTJs. Something about your description doesn't ring true for me. There are assholes of both types, but they tend to come in a specific flavor. I agree many ENTPs are arrogant (as are many NTs...

I would think this true for both IXTJs; with EXTJs being the second worse group. I think this is the single biggest misperception of MBTI. It makes many smart, intellectually curious, accomplished Sensors mistype themselves as Intuitives. If you try to turn a sensor onto MBTI and hand them...

I think the nature of human laughter deals with surprise as the main element. ALL comedy, written or verbal, has to do with deception (setting up the joke) and surprise (the punchline). GOOD comedy requires timing and assessing your audience (they have to get the joke). "A rabbi, a priest and...

Interesting just looked Saint Nicholas up, I assumed Santa Claus came from Nordic Pagan rituals related to their Yule-tide Winter Festival. I figured it all got jumbled up when the Romans had to appease a wide variety of newly acquired Germanic barbarians with the existing religions in their...

When I ask most Christians what Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny have to do with the birth and resurrection of Christ, they usually have this dumbfounded look like "hmm, never thought about that". Which pretty much sums up the thought processes of most religious folks.

Speaking of Egypt, their god Horus had the following similarities: - birth was also signified by a heavenly star - born on December 25th. - baptized in a river, and their baptizer subsequently beheaded. - also had 12 disciples - resurrected the dead. - was also crucified between two...

I don't think it's coincidence considering greek philosophers and roman writers were well aware of buddhist teachings. Many buddhist monks were preaching Buddha's words through Eurasia and the middle east. Buddha also walked on water and healed the sick.

Do you think there was any chance Jesus or writers of the new testament copied buddhist ideas that pre-dated Christ by 500 years? Because of the silk road, there actually were buddhist missions in both Rome and Ancient Greece. Here are some of the similarities; they seem far to exact to be a...

Just had a random thought. I've read pregnant women also have very lucid hyper vivid dreams. I wonder if something changes in their brain chemistry to make them temporarily similar to INFJs. Maybe there is something in the academic literature on this re: pregnant women.

She hates dolls too, especially cabbage patch dolls. Oh yeah, same thing with shower curtains. The other drawback is MRI machines must be pretty damn expensive. Let us know if you ever get access to one to play with!

I agree, I would think gay women would be more likely to have higher levels of testosterone than other women. Conversely I would think gay men would likely have lower levels of testosterone than straight men. I have a theory that T's would also be likely to have higher levels of...

I would think male INFJs would be slightly more likely to be gay than females, just a hunch though. Wish I knew the genders of the INFJs that answered bi-sexual or gay.

Interesting thread - Serendipity. Reminds me of studies that show introverts have higher startle responses. It might be all introverts have heightened limbic activity. But I do think INFJs have a different more specific version of this. My INFJ gf has extremely vivid realistic dreams all...

I have a feeling female ENTPs tend to be far less abrasive. I only know two women but they are universally well liked (one from school and one from work). I think they're socialized to be a bit less aggressive because of their gender and societal expectations to be more feminine. Of the...
