...license, having unprotected sex and using drugs. Then they had the kids undergo a relatively new kind of brain scan called diffusion tensor imaging, a type of magnetic resonance imaging that is used to look at dense tissues like white matter. After analyzing the scans, the authors found a strong correlation between how risky the students described their behavior to be and how sophisticated their white matter was.

It's unfortunate. I feel my relationship with God is strong enough that when other Christians have treated me wrongly, I can sort it out and know that's not God. But I think it's more difficult for many people to make that distinction. When they're hurt by the church, they feel hurt by God as well. And so sometimes their tendency is to reject...
