Interesting stuff, especially in that it seems that there's now some scientific evidence that when people are thinking about what their god likes or dislikes, they are literally just thinking about what they themselves like or dislike and then attributing their own thoughts to the god in question. This really is one of those "well, nothing about this surprises me in the slightest" moments for me, though it is neat to see it all laid out this plainly (and so recently after our own conversation on the topic!)
