That is exactly how I like to look at it. A dear friend of mine died at the age of 30 about a year ago from cancer. When she was so sick, I told her to "get the appetizers ready cause I'll be right there!" I never really cried after her passing because she was looking so forward to it. I only pray that if the Lord should tarry, I can be as positive about my death as she was.

If the old douchebag is as omnipotent as they think he is, he should be able to cause any embryonic death cultist to abort. He would save those fools from the grief of being alive, and save everyone else from the frustration of having to deal with them.
I can't really hate on this one. She believed her friend would end up in heaven when she died, so she didn't feel too much sadness upon her death. Makes sense if you believe that sort of thing, really. Of course, just because you "like to look at it [death]" a certain way doesn't make that belief true, but still. Not all that fundie.
Death cult indeed. Plus, some Christian sects eat the flesh of their god and drink his blood. Really it's just bland wafers and wine, but if there's a group in this world with enough imagination to pretend otherwise, surely it's the Christians.
Ever notice that even if some of them claim to have no problem with death (they can't be that many) they still think murder and suicide is wrong. Perhaps deep inside they know that death is the end.
How you "like to look at it" doesn't change the facts. Your friend died young of a horrible disease which your omnipotent, omniscient, omni-benevolent God allowed her to have. All of her suffering was caused or at least not prevented by your good and loving deity. Either that or God doesn't exist and some of us just get sick and die earlier than others.
You know, I have yet to find a scripture that says suicide is wrong. Seems to be something that was started to stop the Serfs from offing themselves with their own pitchforks.
If your friend was such a good Christian that your sure she's in heaven, why did your god take her out in such a horrible way? You'd think he would of given her a nice quick coronary or something.
Seems to me like she was so wrapped up in her fantasy about her friend dying of cancer in order to set the table for this bitch to have a dinner with Jesus later on, that maybe she didn't see any suffering her friend was actually going through, and in fact made callous comments to her about it. I don't know, that's the way I saw it, maybe I spend too much time at RR lately, they are a pretty self-centered bunch. And not too cheery.
At least this person is somewhat rational. Most fundies are terrified of death - why do you think they love the idea of a Rapture?
Okay, okay, the Rapture is basically an instant, painless holocaust, but they spin it as a non-death.
We are ALL destined to die, get used to it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
