I wish it was illegal to make a deceptive name for your "Institute". So many of these institutes would have to start using honest names again, with the word "church" in them.

Christ, at first I thought someone had fallen for an Onion parody. :shock:

Well, you all know that old saying about Democrats, Republicans, and banned material?

Democrats read banned material individually in the privacy of their homes while Republicans form censorship committees and read them in groups. :twisted:

If anything bad comes out of this, I'm moving to Canada. This country is getting just a tad too right-wing for me. :shock:

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

The only thing more disturbing than this article is the fact that some unfortunate people will read and believe it.

Go to one of the "porn addiction" self-help groups on the Internet. They simply take it as an article of faith that porn is completely analogous to hard drugs, and they get angry at you if you don't agree with them.

Addiction to Christ clearly needs to be addressed next in the Senate.

The theotoxins released in someone's body when they feel the rush of deliverance has got to be addictive, and parents are taking their children along to such drug dens routinely, and in the more extreme cases, end up with severely dysfunctional people as a product.

Christ is the "new" crack cocaine, leading to addiction, misogyny, pedophilia, unwarranted guilt, social stigma, idiocy and erectile dysfunction

Richard Dawkins is the East African-born British Zoologist; the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University; Fellow of New College; Fellow of The Royal Society."My point is not that religion itself is the motivation for wars, murders and terrorist attacks, but that religion is the principal label, and the most dangerous one, by which a "they" as opposed to a "we" can be identified at all."

Christ addiction has historically led to some of the worst atrocities recorded by man.

"The church is a perfect drug delivery system because you are tapped, lusting for God and have role models for these behaviors, to have drug pumped into your house 24/7, free, and children trapped in it usually by the wishes of the responsible adults -- it's a perfect delivery system if we want to have a whole generation of young addicts who will never have the drug out of their mind."

Christ addicts have a more difficult time recovering from their addiction than cocaine addicts, since coke users can get the drug out of their system, but religious images stay in the brain forever, experience says.

"Christworship really does, unlike other addictions, biologically cause direct release of the most perfect addictive substance, that is, it causes false hope, an in several cases the "Rush of Deliverance", shaking, the propensity to handle poisonous snakes and drink poison, which causes release of the naturally occurring opioids. It does what heroin can't do, in effect."

The church is dangerous because it removes the inefficiency in the delivery of the gospels, making christworship much more ubiquitous than in the days when people would have to read the Bible themselves.

A senator said christworship was ubiquitous now, compared to when he was growing up and "some guy would sneak a Bible in somewhere and show some of us, but you had to find him at the right time."

Many psychologists and most reasonable people find the concepts of christ and other religion addiction problematic.

Church leaders questioned the validity of the panel for not including anyone who thinks "christworship is not particularly problematic in most people's lives."

Church leaders acknowledge they can name people who have compulsive and destructive behavior centered on the Bible, but argues that can happen with other activities, such as gambling and shopping.

Church leaders also criticized the methodology behind research showing that Christworship stimulates the brain like drugs do, saying the research needs to take into account how religion itself stimulates the brain.

"There's no doubt the brain lights up when theologically aroused," Church leaders said.

Studies intended to show the harmful effects of christworship must contend with ethical rules prohibiting harm to human subjects.

As a top sexologist, I have to say I find this problematic.

A crackdown on public decency would solve the whole thing, but those damn Liberals and their atheistic pedophile drug orgies... *trails off*

Aren't they essentially saying humans enjoy sex? How is that a revealation? 'Orgasms are pleasant, but evil' isn't a message that resonates with todays young people...
