God is but a Placebo

**Text used is typed below**

This vid is here to compare God with a Placebo and the Divine Healing of religion as nothing more than the Placebo Effect. I'm using some basic Psychology to do this. There is no God.

I'm hoping to show many what the Placebo Effect is and how faith in God can bring about healing without the God being real.

I look forward to future video responses to this vid in order to enter into debate with, or to support my claims with further evidence or compliments.

If you're planning on a video response and would like for me to clarify anything about the vid or any of the subjects at hand, please let me know via PM, and I'll be glad to clarify for you or answer any questions.

Please let me know what you think.

And yes, I've actually been researching this quite a bit for a research report, so I know damn well what I'm talking about.

Hello. My name is Shadow. Today we are going to be discussing how religion is nothing more than the placebo effect in terms of so-called divine healing. The placebo effect is simply the measurable observable or felt improvement in health or behavior not attributed to a medication or a treatment that has been administered. The placebo itself is the fake medication that has been administered. What a Placebo does is increase the individuals expectancy to get better. This belief the individual holds actually helps them to get better. The effect works by ones neurochemistry. Ones neurochemistry is affected by sensory experience and thought rendering it vulnerable to a Placebo. The neurochemistry directly affects multiple biochemical systems, such as the immune system. This in turn explains how introducing a placebo to a patient in the proper format can bring about a physical change in ones body. If the neurochemistry can directly affect ones biochemical systems and a placebo can directly affect ones neurochemistry, then a placebo can indirectly affect ones biochemical systems. This being said, you should now have a clear understanding of what the placebo effect is and how it works. Now lets start showing how religion is nothing more than the placebo effect. Many faithful attribute things such as beating drug addiction and alcoholism, as well as things such as fighting disease and illness, to God. They claim that their faith in God is what helped them through it. This statement is 100% true. It was their faith in God and nothing more. The placebo effect relies on the faith one has that the medication will work, even if the medication is nothing more than a sugar pill. In other words, God does not heal anyone rather the direct faith alone is the healing source. An argument could arise that the things healed by placebo medication are nowhere near the severity of the problems that God can heal. The explanation for this is simple. If the belief itself is what causes the healing, then the greater or stronger the belief the greater or stronger the healing power. I believe it is safe to assume that one engages in much stronger faith in God than in any medication. Therefore, with a much stronger faith in God, larger problems can be overcome. This shows us how God does nothing for us and there is no proof of God healing anyone, because the only healing that occurs within religion is brought on through the faith alone, rendering their God nothing more than a placebo and their divine intervention nothing more than the placebo effect in action. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this message. I hope to have opened some eyes here today or night. If you have theories in contrast to my claims please feel free to post a video response in debate against me. I look forward to the reaction from and future dialog with my fellow Youtube community. This has been Shadow, and once again thank you for your time.

First, the placebo effect is a very good thing.

Second, God is not the placebo effect, but God is like the placebo effect.

@AntisKepticOintment: You're right. God is not the "Placebo Effect;" the fake deity is the Placebo. The 'effect' is the 'effect.' The placebo effect can be a good thing, but the placebo effect can work both ways. And no, I'm not wasting my time reading your blog thing.

@shadow7death : You should be a contributor on Fox News. You appear to have the right temperament for it.

@555tree1: sure, faggot lol

[MegaMikss]

@shadow7death ENJOY BUDDY! ;)

@shadow7death: Ann Coulture would be proud of your debate tactics.

@1000years1day: You're completely wrong. The burden of proof is on YOU. I'm not the one making the ridiculous claim that there's an invisible sky man judging our every move. Atheism is the lack of belief, not the adamant belief that there's not a being such as your 'god.'

By the way, you don't take hints very well. I know far more about your religion than you do, so why do you feel you're qualified to make any such claims in regards to its validity? Especially to someone like me?
