My good buddy, James Bond, posted this in another thread:
It is terribly incomplete for purely scientific and sociological reasons.
1. Atheists are more miserable than people of faith while they live. It's a proven fact, demonstrated by science.
2. Atheists don't marry as often as people of faith. It's also a proven fact, demonstrated by science.
3. Atheists don't give as much, not to religious institutions, but more importantly, not even to secular ones. Nor do they give as much blood, nor time volunteering for free. In other words, they're stingy.
4. In his book, Who Really Cares: Who Gives, Who Doesn't and Why It Matters, Arthur C. Brooks gives plentiful evidence of the panoply of benefits from generosity and giving, and documents the stinginess of atheists, leftists, and unmarried people. These benefits are denied to many atheists here on earth.
So the bottom line is, that right or wrong, you are wiser to enjoy life here and now by practicing faith, pledging allegiance, as it were, to one nation, "under God," with liberty and justice for all.
We scientists have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested... – Martin Seligman, psychologist, in his book Flourish
If atheism is so "rational" and "logical," then why is its retention rate on the BOTTOM ! ! !
