Well, let me do a little research.
Protagoras and Epicurus aren't really partners in crime. They belonged to two different philosophical schools. Epicurus said that fear of death is irrational because it involved neither pleasure nor pain.
And, as for their "demands":
First, he’ll need to show that she possessed some innate worth that was marred by the lifestyle that eventually took her life.
Think of it this way. When her parents were screwing, there was a chance of 500 million to one that the particular sperm that united with Mrs. Houston's egg. That's a chance of less than 2x10^-7 percent. Less if Mr. Houston was using protection. Isn't something that survived throughout those chances special? And add to that the odds that this girl could wind up such a media phoenomenon that her death reaches this level of media coverage, we get some astronomical odds. And isn't that special?
So Saith the Little Tramp:
Second, he must show that the way her life ended was in stark contrast to a far different standard, which instead describes how things ought to be.
Well, she could have cleaned up, started a healthy relationship with someone else, and actually started making music that justified all the hype.
Plus, he calls someone a "hatetheist" for calling someone's death tragic. That's just uncalled for.

Quote:Billions of years it's taken to evolve human consciousness and you want to wipe it out. Wipe out the miracle of all existence. More important than anything in the whole universe! What can the stars do? Nothing... but sit on their axis! And the sun, shooting flames 280,000 miles high... So what? Wasting all its natural resources. Can the sun think? Is it conscious? No, but you are!
