The United States government has been know to work on some crazy stuff. I'd never heard of the "God gene" but they have.  They'd like to turn it off.  With a virus.

The God Gene is gene VMAT2 and it is hypothesized that this gene controls spiritual or mystic experiences.  The government has heard about this and some bright idea thought maybe we could turn off the gene in terrorists and make them not so angry, at least angry in the name of God.

Someone has posted a video of a Pentagon briefing discussing the God Gene and the ongoing work to develop a virus that would shut this gene off in whomever the government saw fit to administer it to.

Scary, scary stuff.
