Pentagon creates atheist virus?

A video of questionable origins (although proposed to be from the pentagon) which provides a conclusion that the government can use a virus-like pathogen to inhibit the traits of fanatics.

On the description: "this is the presentation that key-members of division got before they started spreading this virus."

Interesting - but not convinced sorry!

I'm not sure about the gene thing, but I seen a similar thing on a bbc documentary (I think it was bbc) studies showed that a part of the brain was more active when an individual was 'feeling more spiritual' or in a spritual from of mind, like during a prayer etc - goes to show spiritual experiences are just down to brain chemistry

So it does sort of make sense that your brain activity in certain areas can be affected by certain chemicals (e.g happy pills can help a depressed person happier by stimulating that particular part of the brain that causese pleasure/happy feelings) etc etc so hmm not too far out to think there maybe something to reduce the 'hyper spiritualness' and that attachment to religion etc by something targeting that area of the brain :/

Hmm I suppose the particular brain activity/strengths in certain areas are down to genes somewhat (for example intelligence I think is somewhat down to genes plus some environmental factors - nuturing)

I agree brain dynamics affect the spiritual of a person and will differ from person to person.

I'm not convinced on the practical grounds of this "virus". In theory if the Pentagon did have such a virus - I would also wonder what other questions arise:
- firstly, should this not be tested on a controlled set of people before releasing it into the wild?
- secondly, if we evolved to have spirituality, would this gene affect spiritual aspects of being human? E.g. patriotism.

I wonder if the pentagon would be worried if all it's employees felt a lack of solidarity, pride and shared values of defending their country in the organization after a bad spate of flu! j/k

Bullshit at its best.. that study is as good as Quran., I am sure if I get his genes on to the gel he will end up as an extremist and his experimental results are filled with bullshit

Is it a plan to get NIH/Pentagon Grants for Pentagon Eugenics??
