Atheists embarrassed: study proves atheism uses less brain function
This has to be embarrassing . . . if you’re an atheist. A new study performed at the University of York used targeted magnetism to shut down part of the brain. The result: belief in God disappeared among more than 30 percent of participants.
That in itself may not seem so embarrassing, but consider that the specific part of the brain they frazzled was the posterior medial frontal cortex—the part associated with detecting and solving problems, i.e., reasoning and logic.
In other words, when you shut down the part of the brain most associated with logic and reasoning, greater levels of atheism result.

It uses less brain function because you don't need to go through all the mental gymnastics required to justify being an adult with an imaginary friend.
>>55191752
after all is said and done - Your christian God will look down on you for visiting the hateful, x-rated but still lovable 4chan.
Christfag BTFO!!!!!

>>55191752
Now try it with atheists. Do they suddenly believe in God?
>>55191914
Idiot.
>>55191941
Brilliant response.
>>55191752
>>>/his/
Fuck off theist and atheist autists
>>55191752
Because christians go around thinking of how they could make god believable all the time.
>>55191983
plz don't upset my feelings or else i'll get the fedora pics ;_;. GOD IS REAL! your a degenerate marxsist commie otherwise!!
>>55191989
thank you.
People forget that /his/ is a containment board for the liberal shitposters here.
>>55191979
you are a giant faggot
>>55191941
>memes are literally the only thing religious people can respond with
pathetic.
I would have thought this to be already obvious to the reasoned mind.
Belief in the Chrisitan God is the only full and complete explanation of how things have came to be as they are.
Given that most atheists are about 14 years old, perhaps the mind develops more as they age, and eventually leave behind their former atheistic nonsensical beliefs.
what if youre not an atheist but youre not anything else, like you just dont follow any religion/ concept
>>55191752
Probably just their fedoras cutting off the circulation.
>>55191752
>It takes brain power to maintain a lie and delusions
Well why, yes.
>>55192133
You mean a mindless drone?
Bamp.
Fedoras on suicide watch.
>>55191752
...they can shut down parts of a human brain?
>>55192215
Idk
>>55191752
Not believing in something doesn't use as much brain activity as actively believing in something
Who would've fucking guessed.
>>55192238
By my memory its more like interrupt its communication with the rest they aren't killing it or anything just making its function basically irrelevant during whatever procedure they're doing.
>>55192215
I don't think I would call it that, I don't actively believe there is no god but I also don't actively believe there is
>>55191752
>science say some things therefore my kike on stick is real
besides, every single faggot that claims to be christian has no idea what jesus taught, nor would they follow jesus if they actually learned what he was all about
Who the fuck cares?
>>55191752
I guess that makes sense. If you're actively trying to prove to yourself that 2+2=5, you're probably firing off neurons like you're trump (hey-oh!)
>>55191752
they did their research on a sample of 38... are you fucking kidding me. This proves nothing.
And once again, religion twat dismissing science fir their benefit.
>>55191796
Christfag here, I agree. It does require mental gymnastics to keep believing sometimes.
>>55192813
>>55191796
Not really. Knowledge is the foundation of faith
>mental gymnastics
>imaginary friend
no real arguments for atheism so far in this thread
>>55191796
>damage control
>>55192866
Care to explain?
>>55191796
Wrong part of the brain, bong.
>atheist education
>>55192923
Nice pic
People have always rejected the ungodly ways of atheism.
>>55191752
A website called "American Vision" reposts a story from the Daily Mail about a scientific topic, and you are convinced that they interpreted it properly?
baka desu senpai.
>>55193195
All of these threads always link to some obscure website citing a shit source. Just play along so they won't kill themselves.
Even those raised as hardcore atheists can be saved by Jesus.
>>55193047
I don't see the BTFO?
>>55192387
No-one going to tell me?
>>55191752
Back to your containment board, take the atheist poster with you .
>>/his/
>>55192923
Is that the Amazing Atheist faggot, HOLY SHIT LMAO FUCKING DEGENERATE.
>>55191752
its because the existence of god is an unneccessary problem that doesn't even really exist - if there is no solution, its not a problem.
We only think about such things because we have the luxury of most of our hierarchy of needs being taken care of. If ideologies and belief systems don't serve basic needs like eating (or aren't believed to have any necessary role in serving those basic needs) , then its just mental masturbation.
[sophistry & posturing intensifies]
>>55192107
Did you not read the OP? It was a scientific study. We just followed up with meme ridicule.
>>55192923
>not using an image of R.J. sucking his own dick
10/10
>>55193831
No, it is a christian organizations explanation of a study.
NO BIAS HERE YA'LL
>>55192921
>kek atheist are not using real arguments
>tips fedora*
my sides: gone
>>55192813
then why do you keep believing?
>>55192116
or perhaps religion is like leaving the AC on in a hot day with all the windows open
it takes so much power because it leads no where, and even though you're constantly using it, it doesn't mean it's being use properly

Ohh boy, you got us
>>55192866
Say what? Faith is a leap; it's hardly a bifurcation of knowledge. Faith isn't necessarily bad, but knowledge is certainly not the foundation of faith.
>>55194433
Why are christfags always the most dishonest pieces of shit on here? Like 24/7
>>55191752
I'll give you 2 points for the elaborate bait thread. It's better than your usual tripe.
But that's all the fucks I'm willing to give.
Back to your basement. You've had your fun.

The commandments were actually written on opposite day.

Let me google that for you

Goes like this: you lobotomize a person, he becomes atheist.
Thanks for playing, game over, you lost the coin and the game.
>>55194739
You're a faggot. Im just being honest
>>55194860
Here's your source, btw

Don't kill yourself, just stop being an atheist and start using dat brain

Figures
>>55194911
And the second thing you cite, itself cites the daily beast...
Whoopdee doo. It takes brain power to believe in unicorns, but that doesn't make them real.

Nothing special just the usual Christian liars. I wouldn't believe them if they asked me the time of the day.
