Atheists die sooner, are ill longer, and lead less happy lives than non-atheists

Stolen from the other OT. LINK /.

n 2004, scholars at UCLA revealed that college students involved in religious activities are likely to have better mental health. In 2006, population researchers at the University of Texas discovered that the more often you go to church, the longer you live. In the same year researchers at Duke University in America discovered that religious people have stronger immune systems than the irreligious. They also established that churchgoers have lower blood pressure.

2009 a team of Harvard psychologists discovered that believers who checked into hospital with broken hips reported less depression, had shorter hospital stays, and could hobble further when they left hospital – as compared to their similarly crippled but heathen fellow-sufferers.
quote:
In the last few years scientists have revealed that believers, compared to non-believers, have better outcomes from breast cancer, coronary disease, mental illness, Aids, and rheumatoid arthritis. Believers even get better results from IVF. Likewise, believers also report greater levels of happiness, are less likely to commit suicide, and cope with stressful events much better. Believers also have more kids.

So which is the smart party, here? Is it the atheists, who live short, selfish, stunted little lives – often childless – before they approach hopeless death in despair, and their worthless corpses are chucked in a trench (or, if they are wrong, they go to Hell)? Or is it the believers, who live longer, happier, healthier, more generous lives, and who have more kids, and who go to their quietus with ritual dignity, expecting to be greeted by a smiling and benevolent God?

I'd tend to agree. I wish it was a choice. Unfortunately I can't trick myself into believing something I don't.

That's you using the free will that a benevolent creator gave you, but will send you to hell to burn for all eternity because you used it.

Would you rather be an atheist or a Gump?

Next time they should do one comparing the lengths of lives for ppl of differing religions.

Care to elaborate on that?

Knowing the truth about life is stressful. Stress weakens your immune system and makes you age faster.

I'll bet it works the same for Muslims vs atheists. Alluhu Akbar!
