Skipping church can shorten life

A recent study shows that the quantity of life suffers from skipping church.
Researchers at the Universities of Texas and Colorado as well as Florida State University found that those who regularly attend religious services live 10% longer than those who never darken the church doors.

For those who attend services once a week, statistics indicate they will live to age 82 - and can tack on an additional year of life expectancy if they attend more than once a week. Those who don't go at all live to an average age of 75, the study said.

Unfortunately for we Orthodox and other "smells and bells" Christians, studies have shown that all that smoking stuff decreases life expectancy.
