And if it were so great, the Mullahs would be fighting over who would be going next, or so you would think .
If fact, if it is so great to be dead why has not the entire Islamic extremist element put themselves to death?

What is the point of caring about what happens here?

BTW this is a serious question.

What is the point of caring about what happens here, living here on earth if death is the ultimate reward?

We seem to have found some common ground.

In fact, having to constantly face the thought that I intentionally sent my child to his death would make me doubt whether I wanted to live any longer.

My oldest Brother died of cancer in his early sixties. Watching my Mother at the graveside told me that no loving parent ever, ever wants to outlive their children.

These people are sick.
