    Personally, I never got this.

    A person is born a sinner & thus deserves to die. This is at the forefront of religion. It is the axis that it spins on, making people dependant on their religion/god for freedom from their cursed condition. Romans 5:12.

    But, if you actually think about it - how can a person deserve to die?

    We don't individually choose life. It is all down to a serious of chances.

    It's like inflicting a punishment on someone for something they never did.

    How can grown adults, with the ability to reason & follow logic believe that a person somehow deserves to die an agonising death from cancer at the age of 40? Watch this link & tell me that these children deserved this horriffic illnes because of the sin of a man thousadns of years ago.

    Think about it.

    It's not the case that everyone deserves to die; it's inbuilt into humankind, and the truthful fact is that from the moment a person is conceived in the womb, they are immediately on death row for approximately 840 months! (3 score years and 10)

    So then, an individual has a choice - whether to believe that there is a release from this guaranteed death sentence via the Creator's promises, or that as a species, we screwed up big-time while evolving, by not retaining such things as painless childbirth (like every other species) and the same longevity as tortoises!

    Other beliefs are available!

    Sheesh, 840 months do not sound that long.
