Neurotheology Team Proves “God Helmet” Is Real

A team of neurotheology researchers have replicated and confirmed the results of the iconic “God Helmet” experiment. The apparatus, originally developed by renowned neuroscientists, Stanley Koren and Michael Persinger, generates weak magnetic fields around the test subject’s temporal lobes, and elicits a distinct set of experiential phenomena in the participant’s brain, including: altered mystic states, visions of God, and the feeling of a sensed God-like presence. This new independent study confirms that the effects from the God Helmet experiment are not due to suggestion or suggestibility in subjects, and provide the first scientific verification of the technique’s direct influence on the brain. 80% had feelings of a “sensed presence”, and the other 20% had either minor effects or none.

I think this manipulation sort of highlights the underlying idea that some people are predisposed to religiosity and some are not. Sort of a counterproductive mechanism if you're, say, god.

So...Anti-God helmet.

I suspect that religious people will suggest that this means god is real.

Well, if the god is one that requires a belief in it for eternal life, it didn't do a very good job of creating the human brain.

People who believe in God do so for many reasons. I'm quite sure that people getting fricked up on drugs or neurohelmets and claiming to be or see God is at the bottom of the list of evidence.

Mysterious ways, dickhead.
But seriously, I suspect both sides will claim this as proof one way or the other.
Can't we all just look at it as pretty cool that we've got electronic drugs now?

id suggest there are people posting in this very thread that would be excellent test subjects for this 
In the grand scheme of things, you either believe or you don't. Some funny hat won't be changing that

Didn't you know that God, our all loving and powerful creator lets shitty things happen every day, all day to innocents just to prove a point? Like during the holocaust, he was like "I'll let them finish slaughtering innocent people (and of course the children). This is bad. Not going to bother doing anything about it though."

God is pissed that someone took his helmet and he knows who you are.
