Do you think religious views equal better emotional and spiritual health? Are religious people healthier than secular people in terms of their spirit?
I think religious people tend to be more healthy mentally and of course spiritually but only if they are applying what they are learning from the Bible. Yes, there is a calmness experienced and a sense of security but they still have health problems. They experience the peace from God as stated at Jeremiah 29:11 and 2 Corinthians 1:3.
From my own experience of living without God for years and finally coming to be saved in 2004. I have grown so much in patience, compassion, and loving others- - even those "difficult" people we all know.... hehe...But honestly knowing Jesus and having a very personal walk with Him has brought an extreme amount of peace to me, and I tend to be an anxious/worrier type of person. Used to be very easily upset over, trying to schedule everything, just so and having everything orderly -heaven forbid- something pop up unexpected. Now I'm okay because I know God will never give me more than I can handle and ultimately my day is all in His loving hands. He will take care of me and provide all that I need, it may not always be what I want, but it is always enough. So I will just take a *Breath* and say, "Thank you, Jesus." And move on.....
