How old are you?
I'm of an age where I'm seeing those of my cohort who indulged in 'life shortening' behaviors are now being shown the accuracy of those predictions. The process is often painful and ugly.
While I endorse the personal freedom to choose such a course of action, I wonder if youth and denial of mortality don't substantially affect an individual's decision to continue in one. Young people lack the perspective to see how quickly age arrives. We elderly can't gift our personal, intuitive reality to our children, no matter how much we may wish to.
But we can nag.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
