Then can someone explain to me why dying early is a bad thing for Christians?
One of the first things that happens to a person when they become a christian, is they want to tell everyone about it. It's a natural thing, but with chirstians, it becomes more. God wants us to spread the word, and let everyone we can know of his existance, through our actions and words. Dying early is the loss of the chance to tell one more person, in the hope he/she may come to a relationship with god.
I don't understand why you hate religion so much Seventh. It guides people, and makes a lot of persons decent creatures. Granted, some religions tell people to make war, and people do make mistakes, but I believe, especially in the case of christians, are very decent, and have rules that they apply to there life to help them serve and be kind to others.
And holding back society? You do relize that many great inventors and minds were christian right? Albert Einstein, thomas edison... Some of the same people that questioned the world and everything around them.
Do you relize that Darwin was also a christian? Yet he went against the church. I don't know his state with God, but religion did help him to question the popular beliefs of the day.
