Hardly, typical atheist slack brain pounding square pegs into a round holes and not surprisingly misrepresenting the whole premise.

You are atheist and hence cannot experience heightend enlightenment in the same way someone who is religious.

Enlightenment is a traditionally mystical and slippery concept, but when it is subjected to the rigors of empirical analysis, there is a lot to be learned about our brains and ourselves. Dr. Andrew Newberg, who has put enlightenment through a battery of scientific tests, says there are actually two kinds of enlightenment: lowercase-e enlightenment, which changes our opinions about the world, and Enlightenment, which changes our essence, i.e. how we think of life, death, God, etc.

Its real, atheists are now proven slackers.

What utter nonsense.

First, I'm a major proponent of meditation.

Second, I'm not an atheist. So basically, you're full of shit.

The point is that your representation of this matter as "religious people use more of their brain" is your own fantasy/misunderstanding.

And the book itself posits a link between faith and health (and not the converse, incidentally).

And I'd agree -- a healthy faith is beneficial overall physical and emotionally.

But you've taken a leap beyond. You've no support except your fantasy.

Oh? well not an atheist does not make me full of shit, we dont know you are not an atheist you can tell us anything you want, and your posts bring that iinto question.

The religious use more of their brain than self professed nonreligious, atheists!

Atheists do not believe in faith, wanna try again?

Religious people are Enlightened which is in great part is why they are religious! Atheists are not.

You are going around in circles now

Not with you. It will be a childish game of "Nuh-uh!" for pages.

Faith and meditation are one way for the healthy state described. Plenty of people who consider themselves atheists meditate, btw.

I've already pointed out the problem with your post. Put your fingers in your ears if you like.

and I have already pointed out the problems with yours, accuse me while you put your fingers in your ears. You are attempting put the single drop of enlightenment that atheists can achieve in the same context as the ocean of Enlightenment that the religious people achieve.

OK. Good luck with that.

Btw . . .

Google "do you have to be spiritual to meditate" and you'll find a million links explaining why you're wrong.

Go argue with each of them.

I dont need luck, I have already shown your attempt to minimalize the religious aspect by missapplication whether willful or simply because you started barking before you actually looked into it.

We do agree that faith is healthy and beneficial overall too bad atheists dont have any.

We've yet to see your working out for that one as well, but I suppose it's less pressing than your proof that Bibi's orange bitch isn't a zionist.

Yup, you are definitely pounding your pud and slobbering over hallucinations and mental deficiencies you possess.

truly I feel the pain atheists are suffering now that science can prove the greater processing capacity and brain power of religious people. [not]

Atheists do not suffer from or even engage in anything, that's not of the divinity (logic & reason) of their own minds.

Furthermore, science has proven no such thing and if [it] have proven anything, it is that monotheists often suffer from what they diagnose as a religious-based, delusional mental illness, believing mostly in 3 of only history's most recent plagiarisms of the ancient past.

.....and [it] poisons everything.

scientific tests however prove the opposite.

Science has not proven the existence of any god. Logic however proves that to imagine a god is to create an emotional crutch for one to lean on...nothing more.

My anti-theism does not render me otherwise defective in any way at all.

Really?
What do they use more brain for? Not for thinking or anything, obviously.
Do religious cannibals eat more of the brain than atheist cannibals, or something like that?

Good question but I don't think fossils will help us out here. I am thinking too, that god's were not high on the list of their worries when dining on their victims.

Nope, I am thinking the only 'gods' [they] had was either the look or taste of red meat or more regularly...the rising sun.

The sun has been (still is) the most worshiped thing (god) in all human history, part of which is the real sun worshiping still going on and for centuries in the Christian (Catholic) church.
