I’ll bet they didn’t survey the folks who didn’t believe and already died.

So why are liberals so angry all the time?

[Viennacon]

If I’m reading correctly, this was of people who believed in hell but not heaven?

Well, that concept is incoherent anyway, so they’re probably just unhappy with the illogical nature of their worldview.

Ecclesiastes 7:2
Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart.

Ecclesiastes 12:5
Remember Him before you become fearful of falling and worry about danger in the streets; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caperberry no longer inspires sexual desire. Remember Him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral

Makes one wonder if those believing in Heaven are happier? Suppose seeking Heaven is like seeking the tree that grew straight without breaking or flying like a bird through the skies or traveling the Universe from end to end in one blink of an eye. Guess being happy is only a concept and unreal to those thinking they have one chance when God grants more than one chance. Guess many believe they never belong to Heaven and rather think they belong to Hades. Would be easy to be unhappy believing one belongs to Hades.

This from an assistant professor of psychology from U of O. There has to be a snarky remark here somewhere.

Not everybody:

One really must only ask one question ... Am I under the power of God or something less? Being under the power of something less would make me unhappy ... Am not a Scholar, Theologian or a Pastor but I know one cousin that is a Pastor. He is best when tested and at his most happy.

I believe in Purgatory so I am halfway in-between.

This study basically says that if you don’t believe in Heaven, but you do believe in Hell, you are more likely to be unhappy.

No kidding. What a shock. The corollary is equally shocking: that those who believe in Heaven, but not Hell, are also unhappy. If it’s all good, none of it is good.

[Chickensoup]

I believe in hell.

I am thrilled that I wont be there.

I am glad that there is justice.

[Vendome]

I believe in hell.

Can’t tell you how many men I’ve seen driven to near insanity during their marriage.

Now divorced from their respective Harridans and no longer having to rely on Air Traffic Controllers to duck the myriad of Broom stick flights....They are much happier and calmer.some still suffer PTSD but, even they believe there is life outside of hell and they continue to crawl toward the light.

Like alcoholics recovering “One Day at a Time” gives them small goals to work toward and they wake each day grateful to God for another breath and chance to be inspired by his mercy....

“It is also possible that thinking about hell prompts nonbelievers to think about what they may face if they are wrong in their nonbelief, he said.”
