Death

Now, I didn't read all of your post because of the horrible, horrible
formatting, but I read the last 2 paragraphs, and so that should be the
conclusion and I can draw the rest of the arguments from there.

You seem to be saying that Death is inevitable, and that is why you
worship it. But it seems to me, that that is a reason why you shouldn't
worship it. If it is going to happen anyway, why bother devoting time
and effort to it, when it will take the girl down the street who spends
all her time sleeping around as well.

Shouldn't you be off doing something fun and or exciting rather than
sitting around praying for Death? It's inevitable anyway, it's gonna
happen to anyone, do you get some sort of special treatment when it
happens to you if you devote your life to it? Or does it simply happen
the same way it has for millions of other people over the centuries?

It's like walking into a resturant that has an offer for free blueberry
pie, and then you pay for blueberry pie. You're much better getting
something else and getting the pie as well, rather than paying for
something you would get anyway.

Simply put, if something is inevitable, there is no point putting any
energy into it, as it will happen no matter what.
