 Death. The dirt nap. The big sleep. 15 minutes of flame. The Forever City. NO one deserves it.
Death is every mortal's enemy. For with death, it's always personal.

Death for Christians maybe some instant ticket to heaven, but guess what? At Christian funerals they still grieve. And chances are, once you get down to it with them, they will (well most of them at least) admit their loved one is gone. No more. And being an Atheist I know you will never see them again.

Even if you took their DNA, and cloned a replica, it wouldn't be them. It would look like them, it would smell like them, and probably talk like them - but it wouldn't be them.

This is our enemy. Death.

Yes, I know of a million examples where death is preferable to life. That is not what I am talking about.

IT is mortality, the uncomfortable truth that all of us will face this some day. And when we do, we won't be around to analyze or understand it.

Fight it. As Dylan Thomas said to his father, Do not go gently into that cold dark night, rage rage rage against the dying of the light.

I agree with Mr. Thomas.

And I think it's also upon us to never wish death upon another.

No matter how heinous their crimes, no matter how inhumane, this person has a mother, a father, perhaps a sister and/or brother, friends, perhaps children - all who love them and would grieve their absence.

Even Ted Bundy had a mom.

25. what is your thing with this? You're truly mortaphobic. You've posted a similar screed

I think accepting death is better than fighting it- when it's your time to naturally die.

And no death is not my enemy.

And I don't care that Ted Bundy had mom. Or that Hitler had a Mom. Or that Pol Pot had a Mom.

I'm against the DP but I have NO ****ING sympathy for the people who commit heinous murders.

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

It's natural for a heroin addict like DUmmy Taverner to obsess about death.

It's not like the shit he injects into his veins has gone through a quality assurance lab.

Every day, when he shoots up he has no idea if he'll survive the hit.

One day, probably soon, he won't. And the world will be a better place.

Your time is coming and you know it Taverner. Face what's coming because you need to realize that there are consequences for what you have done.

Both GOBUCKS and Airwolf are onto something here.  Taverner is likely facing some consequences of his addictions, ones that will allow him to find out--firsthand--whether or not God Is, soon.  He doesn't like it.  Which inhabitant of the DUmp does? :fuelfire:

So the guy who says there's no such thing as morality moralizes about death.

How many moral arguments come into the keenest focus when the absolute finality of death is imposed upon them.

Tyranny imposed, evil relieved, beauty cut short, courage proven, faith determined...all these things and more are not diminished by death but take on a reality greater than the one Taverner thinks he cherishes so much.

It's almost as if death serves as some sort of gateway to some sort of reckoning about who a true man truly is.

You christians are required to pray that he become a better man.

I'm not and the thought of what realities may yet await the worthless, smarmy **** make me giggle.

Oh, yeah, and BTW...


....Happy Easter
