He did not smoke. He did not drink. He did not sleep with women. He died at 33

A little bit of humour: Jesus did not smoke. He did not drink. He did not sleep with women. He died at 33. Religious beliefs can do harm to our mental health. For example, fear that one is being punished or abandoned by God in the face of medical problems can trigger high levels of stress and anxiety. Negative thoughts associated with religion can be linked to higher rates of depression, anxiety, physical health problems and lower quality of life. Worse mental and physical health can lead to shorter life expectancy. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that it is against God’s will to receive blood and, therefore, they refuse blood transfusions, often even if it is their own blood. The willing acceptance of blood transfusions has in some cases led to expulsion from and ostracisation by their religious community. Refusal of blood transfusion has led to numerous unnecessary deaths among Jehovah's witnesses. The religious beliefs of the Amish result in many health care issues. For example, the Amish are excluded from social security and health insurance coverage; they have different perceptions of health and illness; they do not practice birth control; they often lack the preventive practices of immunizations and prenatal care; and they may use a variety of traditional and nontraditional health care providers. Health among the Amish is characterized by higher incidences of particular genetic disorders, especially among the Old Order Amish. These disorders include dwarfism, Angelman syndrome, and various metabolic disorders, such as Tay-Sachs disease, as well as an unusual distribution of blood types.
