I understand what she wanted to look at but the way it was written and done was poorly executed. I doubt she would get the results she was looking for. but seems that no malice was intended.

What the fuck did you think was going to happen? Did you think you would come in with a trick devised to make atheists say they believe in god and the people here would pat you on the back? Fucking joke.

LOL, who cares about malice, it's abject ignorance that irritates the shit out of me. I'll take malice over vapidity any day of the week.
An atheist, like anyone else "could" say anything they pleased, especially for shits and giggles. The place where your "experiment" went awry was the transparency in your motivations.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote: I very much question your level of education in psychology
Indeed; her simplistic interactionist methodology is so flawed as to be worthless. Perhaps the most famous negative example of the dangers of this approach is Margaret Mead. Plus there is the probability of confirmation bias to mention just two issues.
I think this person is either lying about her knowledge of psychology or perhaps wen to a Bible school.

Maybe I'm getting my cretinist lobby groups mixed up. I was thinking of the infamous contract thing which participants are required to sign, the one that says that if reality and the bible are in conflict, then it's the bible which must be true.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yeah I mean 'experiment' is a failure no matter how its done as the hypothesis will keep changing to get the desired result that will never happen.

I was just making a joke. I actually think you are right about that particular aberration of reason. Was it part of the wedge strategy? The Heritage Foundation is the one that does a lot of the Republican business de-regulation type fact and statistic manipulation. You know like climate change denial, etc..

Yes, it seems the painfully misnamed Discovery Institute did indeed have the Wedge Strategy as its manifesto. Can't say I've ever heard of the other kooks you mention.
