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




Ummm, , , Newberg didn't study atheists, only mystics and meditators.



Are you being serious or fucking around?

sure he studied atheists, how else can a comparison be made, where do you get that from?

All Mystics that I am aware of and the greater majority of meditators are all religious.

You are all proving my points nicely!

I can't believe that someone of your vast wisdom and razor sharp intellect would expect that there were a couple hundred atheists hanging around to act as a control group. The atheists mentioned above were in a concept drawing study not in the brain scan studies. It is more likely he used a handy group of college students as his control group if any at all. You ought to be able to reference the control group. I think your headline about atheists is garbage. And, as I'm sure someone else mentioned, some atheists are given to meditation. Sorry, no cigar. You did not find the holy grail.




you wouldnt bullshit us now would you vince?







Hmm I guess you would.

Meditation is part of every religion that I am aware of.

Seems atheists want to pretend they arent religions.

Kids do that when they enter puberty, so if the old people have short hair they grow theirs long to rebel for no reason but to rebel.

I have to laugh the atheist brain shuts down when contemplating God.

Funny - or sad ... how you derail your recent nonsense thread with nonsense from your other nonsense threads.

Do you think nonsense plus nonsense equals sense?

You dont think its funny that the atheist brain, you know the test vince said wasnt performed sort of goes out on overload and blows a fuse when trying to think about God? Meanwhile the religious persons brain opens right up and processes the incoming information? I think its funny as hell!

Maybe it's because religious people have to keep coming up with reasons to avoid facing reality.



From what I have seen they spend most the time laughing their asses off watching athiest try and justify their religious position.



Atheism is not a religion. I think this was already explained to you and you didn't get it, but whatever....

https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/about-atheism/

If they are laughing at atheists, it is probably not because they understand what they are saying.

Anyone who is familiar with Eastern concepts of meditation will tell you that the purpose of the activity is to quiet the cerebral cortex busily talking to itself and allow the brain to be receptive to spiritual enlightenment. The whole idea of meditation is to tell the brain to STFU!

fMRI brain scans show the accumulation of blood (and thus oxygen/energy) when a particular task if being performed or an idea is pondered. So, if Christians show an accumulation of blood in the cerebral cortex while they are meditating it suggests that their brains aren't able to put away the petty conversation - the goal of meditation. Whereas, the atheist was successful.

In summary, what you have presented here is unadulterated bullshit.

OOOOooooopsie, seems thats not true vince.






Some of these techniques and beliefs are discussed in this article.

Many mediation techniques commonly practiced today originate from ancient Buddhist meditation texts, which continue to be used by followers of the religion today. ...

Buddhism. ...
Taoism. ...
Hinduism. ...
Islam. ...
Baha'i Faith. ...
Jainism. ...
Judaism. ...
Sikhism.
[Atheism]

The religion based on the teachings of the Buddha is known as Buddhism. The Buddha was born with the name Siddhartha Gautama and lived sometime in the 6th to the 4th century BC. ... Buddhism is the name for a complex system of beliefs developed around the teachings of the Buddha.

I guess what you are really saying is that we need to add atheism to the religion list eh!!


Or are atheists a situation where it looks like a duck, quacks like duck, shit stinks like duck shit, smells like a duck, but its really a horse?



and it keeps getting better :)

since you are all patting each other on the back for who can make the best childish snark n all.....

They saw reactive Satanism as encompassing "popular Satanism, inverted Christianity, and symbolic rebellion" and noted that it situates itself in opposition to society while at the same time conforming to society's perspective of evil.[122] Rationalist Satanism is used to describe the trend in the Satanic milieu which is atheistic, sceptical, materialistic, and epicurean.[123]

Oh shit, you have really gone weird. I mean I always thought some of your sovereign citizen ideas were silly, but you have gone over the edge with your attempt to prop up Christians. And your Satanism gobbly gook is really funny.




You have gone pathetic, RO.

and now we can see by the brain scans that atheists brains shut down when trying to ponder God, while religious peoples brains light up.
