"Religious" peoples live longer
« on: November 30, 2008, 05:29:16 PM »
According to my athiest radio program... fox radio... they pointed out a study done by a certian physcologist... whether christian or not I could not catch... I was busy at work when my ear caught certian things of that news.

The thing they brought out was that religous people live longer (by 20 percent) than non- religious peoples.

I googled this question and it is very interesting.

I think its because non-religious people are rounded up and subjected to the Inquisition.  Those that survive are then sent on Crusades.  The power hungry, wicked, and depraved Christians stay at home and eat bon bons.

Did the survey take into account that those non-religious folks who refuse to admit to being non-religious live much longer than those who blab?

Completely untrue. The longest lifespan in the world is the Japanese, the largest of the Atheist "peoples".

I wouldn't mind being rich and healthy... but, alas, these two things escape me.  Bummer.
