How many Christians are out there saying they enjoy better health than Non-Christians?
You guys do realise that this fact is not confined to Christians dont you?? (This is in response to another user tonight stating Christians are healthier).
Any group who has a belief in any kind of higher power displays better health. Also, this has been observed in those who meditate and undergo hypnosis. When we pray, meditate or enter any state of deep relaxation our brain receives health benefits…but this is in NO WAY exclusive to Christians…through relaxation or meditation, atheists receive the same.
And yes, people benefit from the community often provided through church…as they do through other non-religious types of community…
do not be fooled…you dont have to be a Christian for this!!
…@ question….NO it has not. It has been proven ANYONE who meditites/prays is healthier. THAT is my point.
Ade…read any first year University level psychology text book and you will find references abound.
Dogstar…Burton, Western and Kowalski…Wiley. 2nd ed.2009.
I do not use their web site, but I believe there is one. As I said, any first year text book will help you.
Dogstar…same as above.
FYOP…my point exactly.

yes this is true that god favours us.
but the results are scewwed as I also pray for the unbeleivers
Yeah but in the end…………we still go to heaven & atheists don’t.
So who’s really better off?
Christians aren’t immune to sickness and death. we’re just the only ones who realize those aren’t our fate.
If what you say is right then it will be bad news because when we as Muslims got sick that means to us it a good time to clear our sins.
I’d like to see the evidence that any kind of praying or spiritual meditation makes any kind of difference.
There are plenty of Chinese people living well into their 130th year, every bit as full of life as they were 1/4 that age.
I am 82 and still chop all my own wood, grow my own food etc. And have never been sick in my whole life.
People mostly die young because the do not eat properly. Most people in the west are borderline scurvy sufferers not consuming anywhere near enough vitamin C. The force grown veg and fruit they all buy from their supermarkets have a zero nutritional value because they are all force grown, and their meat is full of growth hormones, etc. Not to mention all the other junk food they eat full of things like aspartame and polyunsaturated fats, which are toxic.
The secret to good health and a long life is elemental.
Practicing shaman… quantum physics rocks.
Citation, please. If it has been proven you should have no problem finding a link to a reputable source.
Don’t get me wrong, I can well believe that what you’re saying is true. Just wanted to see some numbers.
Having faith in a god YOU don’t believe in is just as beneficial. So is meditation, which is completely secular and requires no god. This means the whole thing is bogus. Just like a placebo effect.
And some of us don’t care that we just die…it’s not like it weighs us down. Even if it did I’d rather accept the truth and be troubled then live in a fantasy land and be happy.
We probably die earlier because our brains explode from all the stupidity.
And Primo, yes atheists go to hell and you go to heaven…or perhaps Jesus will be angry at you for displaying unchristlike arrogant qualities and attempting to insult people you should be concerned about helping. I’ll save you a place jackass.
This is actually true for anyone that practices meditation … prayer is a form of mediation … meditation is a form of hypnosis and vice versa …
So belief have nothing to do with it … its all about relaxing your mind and body …
why are you trying to inter mingle the two ? actually I know why … its a rhetorical question …
Edit – I’m glad you agree … but belief in a higher power has nothing to do with it … Buddhist don’t believe in God and they meditate and live very long and healthy lives …
I’m missing where the belief in God comes in … sorry
2nd Edit – {{{Wren}}} good morning my love !!! I was going to make you breakfast this morning but you were sleeping so nicely … you should really learn to lock your windows …lol
I guess that’s the meaning of God=love=kindness=faith=relaxation
especially when u know that God provides for u, and helps u, and love u, and so many other things, so stress levels are going down, and the individual have clearer thoughts, and relaxation helps to releash HGH and that prolongs life and the quality of life.Especially when u don’t afraid death anymore and u know that u have a chance to live an eternal life, in a perfect body and state of mind.
And I agree, atheists who do that and all kind of people helps them , but I believe the good Christians benefits them more.
I am unsure if prayer/meditation makes you healthier or not. But I suppose that it would make sense in a way. Meditation sooths the mind and relaxes the body, and I cant see how that would really hurt anyone.
But on another note, remind me to never make Val mad at me….an 82 year old superwoman with an ax is really a scary thought!
Good Morning FYOP!!!
You still could have made breakfast! I had to settle for coffee and oreos this morning. I would have rather gotten up to see that my stalker had made me bacon and eggs! And next time use the slidig glass door on the back of the house, that way the neighbors wont see.
Christianity does not provide any extra health bonuses, that is a fact. I have read some of these answers and so here is a list of subquestions that they will not answer.
1. If god is so awesome why are christian kids born without arms or legs? And when they pray, why doesn’t god help grow them back?
2. Why are kids born with severe birth defects and illnesses? Christians will claim it to be a test of strength, god is only testing there soul.
3. Why are the majority of heart attack victims christian? Didn’t they have a pure strong heart with god?
The list could go on and on. But the point is this it seems that all christians have this concept that their perfect almighty godconcept will give them special treatment. What a joke…
God only gives a person what they can handle… So the cancer was just to test his/her strength…. But then when the person dies… It is god calling that person back… THose christians got their bases covered.
