Headline: Churchgoers Live LongerA new study finds people who attend religious services weekly live longer.Without wasting time on a study, I can tell you what the link is right now.
The study, which is actually a review of existing research from the three categories, does not reveal what the link between faith and health might be.
It's rather simple, really - fear! Fear of a little ole' place called HELL.
People do not want to go there - no matter how many times I've politely asked them to - and they figure out ways to live longer as to avoid it as long as possible.
The only downside is that these people are here longer than they ought to be, thus creating a certain type of Hell on Earth for everyone else.
So, if a study must be conducted then one should be done on how to live in a hell-on-earth environment, which won't be as easy as it sounds.
Just ask anyone who has ever attended a Catholic school and they'll tell you all about it.

did the priest put cigarettes out on your forehead for ash wednesday, too?
The priests happened to be the only civilized people there, actually.
I actually had to clean the court area of my school with a toothbrush once. It was BS. The priests were pretty cool, but the nuns...oy!
yes, there are some nuns that can be pretty mean. or strict as they like to call it. :)
