"The average lifetime in the U.S. and Western Europe is increasing over the last centuries."

That is media propaganda, not fact. Lifespans are exactly the same now as they were when the Lord walked the Earth.

"The Japanese are amongst those with the longest lifespans..."

More media myth. White northern Europeans, and Americans descended from that group continue to be the longest lived population. The "oldest person in the world" just died in Tennessee a few days ago, and was replaced by a woman in California.

You are kidding, aren't you? What kind of statistics are you using? Heck, any life-insurance company calculating its premiums on your assumptions would be out of business next Tuesday...

The media spin reached the CIA factbook: Here is its ranking of nations by life expectancy by birth.

Japan: 81.25 years
US: 77.85 years

Again, my question: is the Lord more pleased with Shintoism?
