-and we wonder why the world is so shitty when it's full of people who think that death is a matter of deserving it?
In the real world, death isn;t an issue of deserving anything. It;s what happens to living things through damage and decay. Even in chistian theology, no one ever "deserves" anything more than death..no matter how good or remorseful they may be...not even for having accepted christ. It's through grace that anyone is saved, still a sinner.... still broken, not through desert. There's no earning one's way to heaven, the escape from death. We're not capable...and ironically this is true both in the christian doctrine and in reality. A rare moment of congruence.
