Dear Covert,
Your anger is showing....
All you sound like to me is that you're frustrated! And why shouldn't you be? After all, all this Biblical stuff isn't all that straightforward now is it?
It's hard work to figure this all out and to still think you have the truth.
On the other hand, what's wrong with accepting God's gift for you? What's wrong with having good health, a nice life to pursue your true talents and make a contribution to others? Why would you deprive us of your wonderful company? Your honesty? Your charm? Why do you want to just die? Isn't life better than death?
Are you so ready to go? "80 years is enough for me, I'm sick of this place!" ??? and that's it?
Do you like animals? You can have all the pets you can take care of.
You like buildings? You can move into any house you want that you and a couple of friends can keep up with (sorry, no servant class in the new order).
Look, it will be fun! I have lots of plans for anyone who can live without murdering or robbing his fellow man.
This is a great opportunity for you. Why would you prefer death over life? It doesn't make sense. God has gone to all this trouble to rescue you and give you a wonderful life and all you can say is, "Sorry, too boring. I'd rather be dead?"
C'mon....won't you reconsider? We're going to have fun! Lots of parties and dancing. No door-to-door knocking!
You really should be more optimistic.
