There are much worse things than death. Would you want to live forever if you were incapable of taking care of yourself? If all you could do was lie in a bed and have someone feed you, wash you and wipe your ass?? What if you had severe chronic pain that incapacitated you? Would you want to live forever? I wouldn't. What if you were blind, deaf and incapable of enjoying life? What if you lost all your limbs in an accident? Would you want that to be a condition that you would want to live with for eternity?

I look at death as a release. Our bodies eventually degenerate to the point where they cause us pain and discomfort. We should be happy that nature has provided us with a means of shedding our broken down body and escaping the misery caused by it.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
