Thanks to the great Dan Ben Noah, we have English subtitles for this video. Just click on the "CC" button on the bottom of the video for the subtitles.

This video simply points out that numerous studies show that the religious are happier, healthier and live longer lives than the secularists. Therefore, being religious is worthwhile not only for the next world (a world of eternal life) but also in this world.

Please "like", favorite and comment. It will only take a minute. Thank you.

I think everyone has a need for God in their lives and if you deny God's existence a part of you will always be empty and unfulfilled.

Aren't we suppose to be religious only because we believe in Hashem, and not for secular reasons?

If we rely on science we are setting ourselves up for failure, because you have scientific studies claiming religion cause brain damage in people. Science is always changing, and we can never be certain about it.

Atheists try to say that religious people have a mental disorder and yet they refuse to acknowledge homosexuality or transsexuals as having a mental disorder.

Its hard to explain to non-believers, but there is a peace and fullfillment that you get from faith,  that you will never get from worldy things, or greed, or riches.  It  is a satisfaction that fulfills the soul because we know there is a great one who looks down upon us, and made us...he suffered so all of us would have everlasting life...The Dark has never been able to put out the True Light of the World.  God Made into Flesh that dwealt among us.
