QUESTION Atheists Are Brainwashed By The Scientific Method

A new study reveals an overwhelming percentage of atheists are brainwashed. These so-called skeptics, humanists, and Satanists stopped submitting to the faith of their fathers only to put on the yoke of servitude to the scientific method.
The study titled The Enslavement Of Freethinkers by Professor Andrew Canard was recently published in the Journal of Crytpointelligence. Professor Canard teaches at the Theological Institute of Technology (TIT). His courses include Cryptoepistemology and Alex Jones I and II. The professor is a longtime skeptic of skeptics and their methodology:
My new study shows atheists are brainwashed by the scientific method. A full 83% of atheists take it on faith that the process of systematically testing hypotheses by vigorous methods and getting results capable of getting replicated is the best way of knowing about the world.
5,307 self-identified atheists answered questions exploring their sad and atheistically miserable lives. Even though 88% state they lead happy and fulfilled lives only . 5% go to church regularly. “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.

Good satire

Lol, funny. Too bad there's so many Athiests and Thiests these days who have both abandoned the Scientific method. It is intended to erase all bias and presuppositions. Yet in today's laboratories one scientist says "Look at this new data, Hail Darwin!", another scientist sees the data and says "Look at this new data, Hail Mary!", then a third walks into the room, looks at the data and says, "the printer is running out of ink, this is only half the data I was printing you idiots! Fix the printer and go make me a coffee I got work to do!"

An entertaining piece. I am alarmed that some folk take it seriously, though. Does it really need to have SATIRE written across the top?

Satire detected. Well done. I clearly passed the test, as so few failed to do.

Reminds me again of George Carlin. What are you eFFin Stupid? As if this Canard guy has any credibility? Like the guy below: Theological Institute is all I need to read. Goodbye!!

And How can you know if you’re spiritually fulfilled if you’re not in church regularly?” This is so stupid I want to shoot myself in the head. This is like asking if standing in a church makes you a christian, does standing in a garage make you a car?

Please, don't shoot yourself ... take another look at this article ... it's satire!

"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.

How does that work if I am an artist and haven't a scientific bone in my body and I can reassure you that I am a truly happy soul and it does rather seem that you are the one spreading the misery here - I am sorry for that theres a whole beautiful world out there to play - try to stop your moping and play in it.

As an artist , you will appreciate the fact that this article is a Poe .

Its hard to find happiness in a trickle down slavery system. The best you can do is live by example and try to help those around you. Does anyone really know what happiness is anyways? Most the time people are just trying to be comfortable in their own skin. You wanna talk about brainwashed? #LiesOfReligion

If you look into the article's links , you'll see that it is intended as satire . This is Secular humor .

LMAO. I want to study at TIT! 96.0000375% of people who take statistics there are dedicated crypto-epistemologists but only 3.14% of non-atheists can decode their work.

If you look into the article's links , you'll see that it is intended as satire . This is Secular humor .

@Douglas There is a 100% chance I knew that before I read the whole post.

The religious are brainwashed by mythology, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. Atheist follow the path of inquiry, asking questions, researching, collecting data, and citing real-evidence not ghosts, myths, or deep feelings. We also most certainly know how to be happy without going to a house of lies. This is BS!

The article is a spoof , or poe from Laughing in disbelief , like The Onion . I put it under Silly Random & Fun , but categories don't seem to be highlighted much here , so I stopped posting them . Thanks for staking a stand with reason 😉

Canard, huh? From the Theological Institute of Technology. Funny, but it's a bit of an oxymoron.

I think proving a negative is part of the satire of the article. I thought it was aserious article at first. Is that an indication of lack of faith in my own stance? LOL

More like a lack in faith of those with faith in religion to have reason on the subject 😉

The "Yoke of Servitude" of the SM? It's a gift of freedom. It's a challenge to reproduce research. It's an ability to admit you were wrong and accept criticism. It's a challenge of being exact and precise. It's an expectation of data and details.

But I don't see a "Yoke of servitude"...

In fact, if anyone has a yoke, it's the religious, it's the under-educated, it's those brought up to think that males determine when women are to be impregnated. It's those who "trust" in the words of a very good and giving leader - Jesus - but who mis-interpreted his words, and the "interpretations" of his followers, about a god. I'm Christ-like....but I've divorced from "Christianity"...and free from that "yoke"....

Glad to hear it , but lust to let you know , the article is a poe.

"...take it on faith that the process of systematically testing hypotheses by vigorous methods and getting results capable of getting replicated is the best way of knowing about the world."

That's not true.

We state correctly that it's the best way we know of so far. And we know that by comparing the methods put forward so far to each other. The scientific method stands alone. There is a reason history changes so abruptly with its discovery.

You’ve stated nothing but opinion. I find nothing to be “happy or fulfilled” about at church where blind faith leaves its believers vulnerable to exploitation. I like to try to prove my theories wrong. It’s my way of learning and learning makes me happy. Doubt is a right that provides a true sense of security.

The humor..It is to laugh.

That is the point of humor, is it not?

@JimG Sarcasm Font: ON

Is he seriou... Are you serious...?

Where did they find this whackjob, Satanists? Atheists don't believe in Satan, doesnt he know that????

Satanists don't believe in Satan either. To them he represents rebellion against religious doctrine, freedom to think for oneself, and responsibility for one's own actions. Satanists aren't the devout cultists you were led to believe they are.

@JimG I know nothing about Satanists but I do know I don't believe in Satan any more than I believe in God.
