Would you like to be immortal?

[Mr Greene]

You'd think heaven-believers would want to die ASAP to get off this rotten shit hole and into paradise, while they're good with their Jew piñata or whatever. Living longer is just risking Satan Claus coming and tempting them into waking the fuck up evil.

Watch them cling to life as hard as any sceptic. Their instincts aren't so eager.

Of course, some people actually have fast-tracked themselves "to heaven". One of the most truly dangerous aspects of such a belief.

Harder actually, statistically believers seem to have a pathological fear of death, bordering on a phobia. They spend more per head on life extending treatments and actually exhibit a slightly longer than average life expectancy.
my working hypothesis is that the belief is in effect an attempt to deny the reality of their mortality, though I can't rule out the possibility that the fear is generated by the beliefs.
