Faith/ Pain

Re study from the University of Toronto in Psychological Science.

"Religion a buffer to Pain, study shows.  Belief in God likened to anti-anxiety drug."

What do we think?  It reminds me of a book I heard about but haven't read, yet:  "God's Brain."

Of course, faith can't be based on the desire to reap these benefits.  Faith is based on actually believing something to be true.
