STUDY: Want ‘sustained happiness’? Get religion.

RE: STUDY: Want ‘sustained happiness’? Get religion.
(August 15, 2015 at 11:13 am)Randy Carson Wrote: Researchers at the London School of Economics and Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands found that the secret to sustained happiness lies in participating in religious organizations. Of the four, participating in a religious organization was the [u]only social activity associated with sustained happiness[/u], researchers found.

Now, my question is: what if you get involved in a local church (3) that has an outreach to the poor and homeless in the local community (1 & 4) and offers Bible study classes (2)?

Seems to me you'd be so happy you could hardly stand it.

If I was ever going to participate in any kind of religious organisation I'd go for Wicca and join a coven. Christianity isn't the only religion out there.
