Re: Christ is Risen!
You are absolutely right. I must be witless to respond to you at all.

Re: Christ is Risen!
Perhaps one day the Grace of God will enter those that do not believe, and then they will become believers.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
God bless you all.

Re: Christ is Risen!
You know being a person of faith is just that, at least part of it can't be proven, but at the same time people of faith are not stupid. They think about and consider the issues of their faith, and they question their own decisions. If you don't believe, fine but please give me and others credit for thinking about our beliefs. And oh BTW, statistically people of faith tend to be happier in life than people who aren't. Really though, it's all good.

Perhaps one day the Grace of Gods will enter those who argue there's only one true faith, and then they will learn a little humility.

That subject would be best suited for its own thread. Why don't you start one?Perhaps one day the Grace of Gods will enter those who argue there's only one true faith, and then they will learn a little humility.

Statistically, the happiest nations on Earth are Denmark, Norway, Finland, and the Netherlands. Source All of which are rather irreligious. Oh and there's a link between stress and religious happiness. Source It's just sooooo surprising that in times of stress a group that has a regularly meeting social group is a little happier.
Someone high might ponder at great length the meaning of a word, that wouldn't make them knowledgeable on that word, nor would anyone call them a cunning linguist because they thought about it realllyyyy hard. I'll give you all the credit in the world for thinking about your beliefs, but that doesn't alter my level of respect when they are then justified by word games or logical fallacies.

Logic? Isn't this the thread about the resurrection of a magical carpenter from 2000 years ago?

Re: Christ is Risen!
Sounds like an open and shut case. Couldn't it be that Scandinavians are happier because the region is the richest and has the highest standard of living in the world? Personally the blondes would do it for me.
The summary of religion and happiness from wiki...
There is now extensive research suggesting that religious people are happier and less stressed.[1][2] There are a number of mechanisms through which religion may make a person happier, including social contact and support that result from religious pursuits, the mental activity that comes with optimism and volunteering, learned coping strategies that enhance one's ability to deal with stress, and psychological factors such as "reason for being." It may also be that religious people engage in behaviors related to good health, such as less substance abuse) since the use of psychotropic substances is sometimes considered abuse.

Which reinforces that other source which pointed out the link between social/economic conditions and religion.
While wiki is a nice place to start looking for information, everything in bold can just as easily be found going to other social groups, negating it as a benefit purely found from religion. Connecting happiness from religion in this way is like saying the economy will get better if you stop spending and give the rich, I mean job creators tax cuts. It's focusing on one tree without noticing the forest.
Re: Christ is Risen!
In other words, people do get these benefits from religion, and they also can find them elsewhere as well.

Well, until they turned 29.
If it is was hair color the Irish would be the happiest.
