Default Re: Lie Detector For Catholics.

[ QUOTE ]
Wonder what percentage of American Catholics would pass a lie detector test that asked them if they were almost positive that transubstantiation is true?

Our minds are full of tricks and the results you get from that experiment would depend heavily on the exact wording and tone of the question(s) and the questioner.

You can do litte experiments of your own that get different answers to essentially the same question just by rewording. The abortion issue is a classic, you can get swing between the 40-60% range depending on the buried slant of the question.

In this case, when and where you asked them would play a role also ( that's part of the 'tone')

luckyme,
if I thought I was wrong, I'd change my mind
