Actually, I strongly dispute it - people who want to live as long as
they can pursue life-extension practices, cryonics and transhumanism.
I don't know of any christians who do such things, so I suspect they
don't care about maximizing their longevity. Religion is often simply
a means of abrogating responsibility for yourself.
