Entertainment: Limbic System vs. Frontal Lobe

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:4

"Another way in which media that portrays a false gospel and false doctrines affects the individuals that watch it is through the limbic system. The limbic system was designed by God, and otherwise is normal to have, but this system can be hijacked.

Any kind of media that moves in a fast-paced motion, has a lot of stimuli, or is jam packed with action or anything that will heighten your senses suppresses your frontal lobe, and activates your limbic system into full gear.

*This kind of media acts like a light switch as it turns off your frontal lobe where things like your reasoning, understanding, processing and spirituality are stored,
*and it turns on your limbic system where things like your fear, anger and sadness are stored.

--While it is otherwise normal to feel some of the emotions that arise from your limbic system (for example, you may feel angry when seeing some injustice done), it is not normal to feel these things most of the time.
--However, when we watch rapid moving theater style entertainment, the limbic system is activated, while the frontal lobe is suppressed, rendering us unable to reason rationally, or process anything that we are seeing. Thus, the content goes straight through us, into the fiber of our beings in a heightened state.

After a while of constantly watching this material, our limbic system is always active, and our frontal lobe is mostly always suppressed. Since our spirituality is housed in the frontal lobe, if this is suppressed, we will not have a desire to want to know spiritual things of God, but we will only continually have Satan’s nature that derives from a heightened and always active limbic system."
