STUDY: Want ‘sustained happiness’? Get religion.

[abaris]

MAY I repeat - pun intended - my post #2 in this thread?

Participation in religious organizations may offer mental health benefits beyond those offered by other forms of social participation.

And add a dictionary explanation of that little word MAY.

1.
(used to express possibility):
It may rain.
2.
(used to express opportunity or permission):
You may enter.
3.
(used to express contingency, especially in clauses indicating condition, concession, purpose, result, etc.):
I may be wrong but I think you would be wise to go. Times may change but human nature stays the same.
4.
(used to express wish or prayer):
May you live to an old age.
5.
Archaic. (used to express ability or power.)

Might make it easier for you, since you obviously have some problems explaining that little word. In lights of your own assertivness that is. Keep shitting out of your mouth in all directions, Randy. But I won't let go of the word may in the report until you finally deign to answer the question. Everything else in your OP isn't worthy of any discussion.
