Well in any case if life is so insignificant, as you say, and death is so good, since you're with Jesus, then why are you so alive? I mean sure suicide is not an option for a christian but there are many dangerous jobs out there and you could be with Jesus in just few days. So why prolong the agony and this "insignificant time" any more then you have to? Is it because when it comes to you personally it's not so insignificant? It may not be Jesus out there waiting for you?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
