Not because of the idea of death itself. I would welcome a quick, painless, easy transition into the non-physical at the right moment.
But it's the idea of the suffering this type of event would cause. Physical suffering, psychological trauma, and no doubt a great amount of spiritual pain as well. These things, if intentionally inflicted on an entity by another entity, would no doubt be considered an STS action by that entity. It's hard for me to reconcile this with the supposed intelligent design of the Harvest.
Purely hypothetical at this point. We must call a spade a spade here. If not the hypothetical act, then the current idea of the hypothetical act. Which one is the spade?
Not sure what you're saying. What specifically are you calling hypothetical? Isn't almost everything we discuss here hypothetical?
What I'm saying is that the "Creator" created us to die. If there is a planned cataclysm by the Creator, then, make no mistake, the Creator is the spade that you have an issue with. OR, more appropriately IMO, take a look at the "idea of expecting cataclysm to be the way it will happen" as the spade, and call it like you see it.
