Were the effects on other things, such as what we normally call sanity, also tested?

I watched it again night before last on TMC. They didn't edit out the nudity or language either. Great movie.

"... 28.5 per cent less bothered by immigration numbers."

Immigration or illegal aliens?

So if you damage someone’s brain, it turns them into a liberal atheist. Makes sense...

They’re shutting down neurons....that’s brain damage.

That explains the outcome they are bragging about.

Reverse engineer this process and you can probably deprogram virtually EVERY liberal bias.

Then, maybe, they may be amenable to listen to simple logic, for perhaps the first time in their lives.

What a bright future for the human race.

Or maybe it just zaps all those stray neurons.

Kind of makes me wonder what other brain damage that caused.

Electromagnetic pulses can mess up a lot of stuff. Its like erasing a hard drive and forcing your brain to seek new paths to find information.

If your deep held beliefs are located in the “zap” spot, I would imagine that your brain would either not be able to access them, or it would take a while to route a way around to them.

The effect is not really new, although the process may be.

Soon, this will be part of the Democratic platform to advance their globalization agenda. Totalitarianism will do whatever it takes.

So people who don’t believe in God are brain damaged. Not even trying to be snarky but that makes all kinds of sense. Explains a lot.

So they proved that damaging the brain affects a person's judgement negatively? Genius, sheer genius (sarcasm dripping).

the left thinks belief in God and objections to immigration are mental diseases

Dawkins thinks it’s a mental disease brought on by a virus

Sadly, the ones with the mental disease are the ones claiming the other side have a mental disease

There is a universal moral code written on every man and woman’s heart- it is universal throughout the world- Some like liberals may learn to ignore this universal moral code, but that in no way undermines the FACT that there is a universal moral code That compels a person to seek the universal moral code Giver-

While the left may be able to DAMAGE that- damaging it does NOT prove that the belief is a mental disease- it just means they have learned how to disrupt something that is naturally within us all- Damaging something like that is what is sick- Not those who believe in God-

Nope, due to inbreeding most muslims are already brain damaged, hence why they are muslims.

[[Soon, this will be part of the Democratic platform to advance their globalization agenda. ]]

Exactly Jim- even our ‘dear leader’ is pushing the idea that Christians are ‘sick’ ‘violent’ ‘terroirists’ etc

There is a real concerted assault on Christianity these days, and it’s steadily getting worse andm ore bold- more in our faces- The left doesn’t try to disguise their contempt and hatred for us anymore-
