Scientists have established a link between religious fundamentalism and brain damage

A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

lmao, good one.
 
Religion = "rigid thought" is a false equivalency. Religion is based on immutable principles,
but that doesn't equate to rigidity ( unable to see other patterns) -since religion is not subject to changing data

More dumb ass psychobabble

You just stated that "religion is not subject to changing data". Isn't that pretty much the definition of rigid thought?

The environment is real, and right in front of you daily. There's no evidence that God even exists. Question: if God is real and omniscient, then why does the Bible ban eating pork (because of trichinosis), when all that was necessary was to ensure that it was cooked throughly?

Don't let them confuse the issue because it is really quite simple, if it is based upon some ridiculous story of how we / everything came into existence, then it is religion. The religious desperately scramble to try and drag everything else down to the level of the religious with their every sick and pathetic lie and deception like the environment, or science, or not being religious labeled as atheist by the religious etc.

4 minute 9 second video, facts exposing foundations of religious lies including scientology of which scientology was the religious's way of attempting to drag science down to the level of the religious.

 
"While Muslims engaged in violent protests worldwide over caricatures of Muhammad have insisted any image of their prophet is considered blasphemous, a prominent frieze in the U.S. Supreme Court portrays the Islamic leader wielding a sword."
"In 1997, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, protested the Supreme Court’s Muhammad sculpture, saying, according to its annual report for that year, “While appreciating the fact that Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was included in the court’s pantheon of 18 prominent lawgivers of history, CAIR noted that Islam discouraged its followers from portraying any prophet in paintings, sculptures or other artistic representations.”

Fuck You and your Sharia Law, Ralph!
Yes, you are a snowflake. Madison was a champion for religious freedom.
And many of the Founders were Deists, not following any standard religion.

you stupid fuckstick I said religion is based on immutable principles -
which is NOT ANYWHERE NEAR the same as rigidity of thought

If I say "2+2=4 always" is that rigidity of thought?

1. Every single muslim on the planet is loyal to islam.

2. Islam deems violent hate crimes against non muslims as acceptable.

3. These violent hate crimes against non muslims escalate everywhere muslim populations begin to rise in modern day.

I never once claimed that all muslims physically commit the violence.

Now look at this Trojan horse "islam" wher all muslims play their part

The muslims who do not actually commit the violent hate crimes against non muslims are the horse itself and inside the horse are those who commit the violent hate crimes against non muslims. You got to see it as a whole and how it is being used to understand what is really going on here. Again all muslims are loyal to islam so you think long and hard about that. Perhaps this will give muslims something to think about as well as they knowingly or obliviously support such disgusting behavior. I certainly hope so.

Now look at the Trojan horse that carries the Trojan horse called islam inside of it like a matryoshka doll which is a wider spread Trojan horse supported by selfish, greedy and ignorant dummies of every other religion everywhere on the planet that those of other religions exist because they are all quite obviously too stupid, selfish, greedy and ignorant to actually value human life more than they value a factually proven foundation of filthy religious lies and the proof is simply that they stoop to being religious.

It's time to criminalize the Trojan horse called "freedom of religion" permanently Canada for the well being and sanity of current and future generations thus we can finally start believing in ourselves and one another with such sick and filthy lies out of the way thus no longer dividing us as such sick and filthy lies have been doing for thousands of years. Like duh, time to wake up.

Once again:

The non contestable factual evidence proving that there is no such thing as a god or what muslims call allah (the very foundation of some religions) is as follows in a nut shell and keep in mind proof that religious claim that the lie allah or the lie god is intelligent is that they are all foolish enough to worship or pray to a factually proven lie thus is them acknowledging they claim that factually proven lie is intelligent to be able to understand prayer or worship. The factual evidence quoted in a nut shell:

"Nothingness is the absence of energy and matter hence there is nothing. Energy and matter are both physical. If someone tells you that there is anything that exists beyond the physical realm, they are lying because the fact remains that without the physical there is nothing. Not anything can go poof into existence out of nothingness, let alone develop an intelligence out of nothing, let alone be able to create with nothing because the fact always remains that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter which proves beyond any shadow of doubt that not anything with intelligence could ever be the creator of everything aka no such thing as a god ever existed."

All anyone obviously needs to do to prove what I share is not fact at all is simply share one factual example of anything going poof into existence out of nothingness. We do no even have to get to the develop intelligence out of nothingness part because not anyone will ever share one factual example of anything going poof into existence out of nothingness and I know this because the fact always remains that it takes energy matter and time to re create energy and matter.

As long as religion exists there will always be war and divide because that is where the following and spreading of lies leads as thousands of years already proves. Those who encourage religion obviously do not want anything to do with peace, they want to keep the masses dumb and gullible because it assures war and divide.

That same factual evidence proves that the big bang theory as proof of origin is falsified, again look for my 4 minute 9 second video on youtube or bitchute about physicists lying.

The United States was not created by religious fundamentalists. If it was, there'd be no 1st Amendment.

More like FreeMasons if you ask me.
"The United States Capitol cornerstone laying was the ceremonial placement of the cornerstone of the United States Capitol on September 18, 1793. The cornerstone was laid by president of the United States George Washington, assisted by the Grand Master of Maryland Joseph Clark, in a Masonic ritual.
Many of the items of ritual paraphernalia used in the cornerstone ceremony have been repurposed and are currently used for the placement of foundation stones at other important buildings in the greater Washington area. Centennial and bicentennial observances of the U.S. Capitol cornerstone laying were held in 1893 and 1993, respectively, and a tricentennial observance of the ritual has been announced for 2093."

Yeah Jack the religious are always attempting to steal credit for everything unless it comes to them being held accountable for religious lies leading to war and divide then they try and pass the blame off on anything else no matter how dumb and ridiculous. They do the same claiming such rubbish in Canada too.

Cool. Ask Ralph what this means: "and in the year of Masonry 5,793".



"At 10:00 a.m. on September 18, President of the United States George Washington and his entourage crossed the Potomac River to arrive in the city of Washington. There, they were joined by an escort consisting of the Alexandria Volunteer Artillery, and members of Masonic lodges from Virginia and Maryland, and proceeded to the construction grounds approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) away.[3] At the site of the Capitol, Washington was received by Joseph Clark, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Maryland. A silver plaque, fashioned by Georgetown silversmith Caleb Bentley, was handed to Washington, who stepped into the foundation trench and placed the plaque, whereupon the cornerstone was lowered. The plaque was inscribed with a brief tribute to the "military valor and prudence" of Washington, and dedicated the building in the "first year, of the second term, of the presidency of George Washington ... and in the year of Masonry 5,793."[1]"

"Washington, accompanied by three Worshipful Masters carrying sacrifices of corn, wine, and oil, then struck the stone three times with a gavel, as prescribed by Masonic custom. Washington exited the trench to ritual chanting by the assembled Masons and a 15-gun salute (one gun for each U.S. state) from the Alexandria Volunteer Artillery. Clark then delivered a short invocation, after which a 500 pounds (230 kg) ox was ..."

Were the Religious Zealots able to degrade your currency with 'religious mottos'? This is what Christian Jihad has done in the US.

"Before the days of credit and debit cards, one used to see signs
similar to the one above in diners, service stations, food stores, and
many other establishments, obviously playing on the use of the motto “In
God We Trust” that is on our coins and paper currency. It may come as a
surprise to many younger and even not so young persons that this was not
always so, that the regular use of “In God We Trust” on US coins did not
begin until 1908, “In God We Trust” was not made an official motto of the
United States until 1956, and the motto did not appear on paper money
until 1957. The history of the choice of “In God We Trust” as an
official motto of the United States and the practice of placing “In God
We Trust” on coins and bills is a tale of historical revisionism, perfidy
by our elected representatives and appointed officials, and
ecclesiastical opportunism whose results have tended to eat away at the
foundations of our liberties and threaten the very idea of the separation
of church and state."

ALL masonry fails. we saw a masonry fail this week. it is temporarily good. I have been thinking about "flying buttresses" for two or three weeks.

So, you admit you were in Paris on the night of the fire, that you had a Molotov Cocktail, and your only excuse is that 'The Devil made me do it!". Is THAT your final Statement?
 
State Religion? What part of the 1st amendment do you not comprehend? Are you a child? :palm: Just why do you assume this nation was created in the first place? This nation's founding is a direct result of those protesting STATE RELIGION in EUROPE...i.e., the protestant movement and migration to the new world to escape religious persecution. In Europe Catholicism was mandated as a state religion.....it was illegal for a lay person to even read from the Holy Bible, it was illegal for anyone to translate the Bible from Latin into common English...

The First States Bill of Rights..i.e, the 1st amendment makes sure that such a thing can never happen in the United States. In fact the personal letter from a Christian Minister to Jefferson was addressing such a topic....the preacher was afraid that his state would make everyone worship only one doctrine. Jefferson told him that was impossible according to the 1st amendment. His analogy was comparing the anti-establishment clause as a wall that guaranteed Freedom of Religion not freedom from religion.
there doesn't seem to be any way forward for the anti-religionists to just accomodate religious beliefs.

Which is kina funny considering those are the same people claiming religion is intolerant

Sickening and infuriating indeed Jack, and not that I have noticed when it comes to Canada's currency we are tied to the queen even though we were apparently given dominion while our officials still pledge allegiance to the crown as well.

I suspect that the Trojan horse known as freedom of religion was written into charters and constitutions etc. specifically for the planned infiltration of islam aside from the fact that thousands of years (long before islam even got here) religious lies prove to lead to war and divide..

Freedom of religion has got to go.
 
The OP poses some interesting ideas. I think such damage as described in the brain may explain the adherence by obviously damaged people to atheism. Very interesting.
 

I wouldn't call this video all that scientific, more like some dude from Seattle that smoked a joint and started yammering on his computer cam. I'm not a physicist and I can answer his questions. Not a mystery.

What he's really trying to say is that physicists dont know what happened before that Big Bang. That's true. Do scientists cower at the question? I sure hope not. Then he says that when there was the theoretical singular mass that they don't know why the tempurature was rising because they don't know what the starting temperature was. That's simple too. You don't need to know what the temperature was to know what occurred.

When mass is pressed together there is heat friction. That's why the center of the earth is hot and stars burn. Gravity presses the mass together and the more pressed the mass becomes the more friction between atoms occurs and the more heat is released. Now, imagine all of the mass of the universe pressed into one single point. Thats a lot of friction. Therefore, you must assume that this Big Bang happened as the result of all that matter being pressed together. Therefore, all that mass was probably only pressed together momentarily. You can probably assume that before this theoretical Big Bang occured all that mass was quickly flying towards that single point from all directions. Easy stuff.

Are these the same scientists that found the link between liberalism and stupidity.
Did they find the missing link.

I quoted you exactly. That makes you the stupid one. And, yes, ignoring changing data is rigidity of thought.
