I’d rather be brainwashed by science than a book about a talking snake, demons and an all around asshole who was a mudering maniac for a sky daddy!!!

I love the fact that he teaches at Tit.

It's tongue in cheek humour, like the Onion. “That’s a clear sign atheists don’t know what happiness is. How can you know if you’re spiritually fulfilled if you’re not in church regularly?” pointed out Professor Canard.

Wow that is beautiful, simply beautiful!!!! I've met a few people who think this way and it makes me laugh.

Ha! His name is Canard! I'm embarrassed I didn't catch that right away.

Fun read, but it is scary that in reality some people think this way. The writer definitely displayed that line between parody and real life as I'm sure some of us will think this was true based on the interactions we've had with theists in the past.

Nothing like being called brainwashed by religious nuts. Oh, the irony!

ROTFLMFAO!! They just can't help themselves.

The study also explores the narrow mindedness endemic within the atheist community:
When asked if astrology is a good way of predicting the future, 80% of atheists state the age old practice is as useful as “tits on a penguin.”
Famed author and expert in particle physics and consciousness Deepak Chopra is considered by 96% of atheists as only an expert in the production and marketing of low grade hypersyllabic balogna.
Most atheists do not believe vaccines are the whole milk from the Devil’s breasts.
Professor Canard confessed there is a lot of work to be done, “We have to educate students the world can best be known through deeply felt feelings. For now we will have to deal with atheists brainwashed by the scientific method.”

We Atheists are all brainwashed because we don't believe in Astrology & support Vaccines .

Thank God for the scientific method.

Irony fully intended.

"Professor Canard teaches at the Theological Institute of Technology". What else would you expect him to say???

Funny, a scientists (supposedly) who decries the power of science. Here he is downplaying science using "scientific" research. Shows the total nonsense these people spout. I wonder if the name of his college, TIT, has some significance? Milk from the Devils breast was mentioned. I also wonder about the .5% of atheist who attend church services? Maybe they are the lost ones and what about the remaining 11.5%.

Our world gets more insane every day.

Thankfully, that's satire. But I didn't know that before reading the comments or clicking the link! I thought the trolliest of trolls had infiltrated our group! My head almost exploded!

When I read this in the linked article, I knew I'd found my people, "When asked if astrology is a good way of predicting the future, 80% of atheists state the age old practice is as useful as “tits on a penguin.”

Well, I would have lost all my money... As I read that, I was SURE that was an Onion article; I would have bet my bottom dollar. Aside from content, it even reads like one. These people are comically stupid.

It sounds like some of us took this as something other than satire.

That's cute.

My brother believes Alex Jones is a better journalist than Rachel Maddow. Now this is some very frightful material

The word "brainwashed" is incendiary and implies something unnatural. The Scientific Method is objective, rigorous, and based on observation of nature.

The scientific method is always skeptical. After repeated observation and measurement, someone proposes a theory. Then, others attempt to disprove the theory. Other scientists are free to accept or reject the theory. As time goes on, with the accumulated results if attempts to prove or disprove the theory, the theory gains or loses acceptance.

Religious people have great problems with Scientific Method. Objectivity, observation, scepticism, and uncertainty are abhorrent to those who blindly believe without evidence.

Whoever uses the term "brainwashed" to describe adherents to the Scientific Method is a jackass. I invite any-and-all objective observers to prove or disprove my statement. I choose to believe the Jackass theory until it can be disproven.

LMFAO. What the he'll.? There is so much wrong with that,,, where to start ? " take it on faith that testing a hypothosis is the best way ,,,,," well I guess I am brainwashed then because I want evidence. I' d rather be brainwashed by the scientific method than by a doctrine of blind faith in an imaginary sky daddy.

Lol.

Loololololololol

He certainly isn't brainwashed by the scientific method.

"Professor Canard teaches at the Theological Institute of Technology (TIT). His courses include Cryptoepistemology and Alex Jones I and II."

What a canard! And why stop at one? Why not the Theological Institute of Technology and Science? This author belongs at the Onion!

'80% of atheists state the age old practice is as useful as “tits on a penguin.”' Sounds like a satirical site to me lol.
