I personally find these lies the most disturbing ones:
Quote:
Trauma and Spankings- Violence puts a traumatic burden on children that leads to a 7.5-point decrement in IQ.
Harsh Corporal Punishment – People exposed to HCP for a minimum of 3 years suffer a reduction in their brain’s gray matter volume.
Parental Verbal Abuse – The brain’s white matter is reduced in children who experience maternal verbal abuse, in three areas. Verbal IQ is reduced.

My kids IQ are in the mid 120s, and spanking contribute to their superiority over the average atheist.
Moreover, the last lie is sexist. And what is "verbal IQ", is it the same as being a chatterbox? Then the kids need more "maternal verbal abuse", not less.
However, the line about communist/Hitler diet is correct, but far understated, as it would reduce IQ but at a minimum of 40 points:
Quote:
|
Anorexia – Anorexia nervosa may shrink the afflicted person’s brain matter.
|
Same goes for the Scientology prefered way to put babies to sleep:
Quote:
|
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) – The physical abuse causes traumatic brain injury with damage to IQ, working memory, and mental organization.

And I'm certain the liberal vs conservative example is handpicked.
