It is(life), and I'm trying very hard to see this explication of belief as something other than the idea that...to Root, at least, Roots life would not even be worth living..if there were no god. Is this really an AF dot org kind of thing or should we be giving him a suicide hotline number?
@ the above - yeah, being consumed by the variable calculus of our mortality is rarely practical in actual life or death situations....aka every single moment we live and breathe...naturally. That's probably why I don't spend much time worrying about death. I know it's coming, I've been close before, I have no expectations because I have no OBE stories to tell about it. I'm busy living, not dying. I have no interest in leaving a good corpse behind me - whether that's judged by people or by gods in some childish cult.
