Avoid riding in cars because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.
Do not stay at home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.
Avoid walking on streets or footpaths because 14% of accidents occur to pedestrians.
Avoid travelling by air, rail or water because 16% of accidents involve these forms of transport.
Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals so, above all else, avoid hospitals.
You will be pleased to learn that only 0.001% of all deaths occur during worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church! Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less!
For safety's sake - attend church and read your Bible. It could save your life !
