Moderated Is belief itself dangerous for your brain? (A rethink is in order)

So, where is your scientific evidence that belief is 'dangerous for the brain' or 'toxic' as you've claimed?

It appears that you expect us to just take it on faith, ironically.

You must be blind to:

(1) Theistic parents avoiding doctors, leading to child death.
(2) Terroism (some born in strong belief systems)

Belief is broader than theism, and most theists don't avoid doctors.
You claimed that all belief is literally "dangerous for your brain".
And then you provide anecdotes about very specific beliefs producing negative outcomes.
This was not your claim.

Careful, anecdotes may be unreliable. (And negligence of health on the horizon of belief, is real, rather than imaginary)

That most theists don't avoid doctors, does not eliminate the above fact in brackets.

For those that appear to be enamoured with belief, take a listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Neill deGrasse Tyson is often comically wrong about matters of science. This has been pointed out to you before. Why do you continue to appeal to him as an authority? Is it because you *believe* in him?

This signature is intended to irradiate people.
 
Point of Observation: For someone who doesn't "believe" in anything, PGJ sure puts a lot of faith in the reading he does in scientific journals/textbooks.

He believes many things. He's invented this shtick to sloppily puppet bad arguments in some really obsessive quest to give atheists a bad name.

Maybe he got tired of the theist poes.

Shrug.

You were the one wo claimed to have scientific evidence. And you are the one who only provided several assertions and anecdotes.

So don't tell me anecdotes may be unreliable, because they're your anecdotes.
And you still haven't provided any scientific evidence.

Google it; for it is not hidden that beliefs means by which health is hindered.

Once more exercise care; that you fail to quickly uncover this publicly available evidence, does not suddenly render such data inexistent...

Does Neil deGrasse also give atheists a bad name? (With his expressions of belief irrelevance..)

Or are you yet to think beyond the scope of the common brain?

Once again, in some semblance of English, please.

I think that's called running away.

It's not our job to search the internet for random garbage that supports your even more random garbage.
