Now I have no stats to back this up.It's from observation and my wife being a nurse that I make this statement.I also believe this to be true because believers are repeatedly being taught the evils of such things.I also lived a life of drug,alcohol and smoking abuse and I've personally seen what women in the same life style do to their unborn children.
Now I'm not saying all nonbelievers live this way nor am I saying all believers treat their unborn with the care they should.Nor am I saying that all nonbelievers have less respect for life than believers only a fool would make such a statement.
Thor I should have read through all the replies before posting a reply. God may extend the lives of some people no matter what they believe.However I do not believe that God would play a game of favoritism, that would fly in the face of freewill.God loves all equally I know this because He sent His son to die for all and there are no preconditions set upon believeing the underlined.The rewards for living a faithful life in Christ in the here and now comes in our eternal life.
