Do you think people who believe they are saved would be inclined to take more risks in this life? One guy who exemplifies this has the record for skiing off the highest cliff without a parachute and just landing in the powder. He gave all glory to God etc. etc. but most people I know that are highly religious are the opposite. They lead dull lives or at least they generally seem risk averse as a group.
Is there any correspondence between religion and risk taking? If I were convinced that the end of this life wasn’t the total end of my life would I take more risks myself? Logic says yes, observance says no.
