Quote #7
And death once dead, there's no more dying then (14)
Wait just a minute. How can death ever be dead and how can there ever be "no more dying"? When the speaker says that once death is defeated, there won't be any more dying, he's making an allusion to Judgment Day. According to Christian theology, that's the last day of the world, when every dead body rises up out of its grave and reunites with its soul. At that point, everybody gets judged by God and the good Christians get to spend eternity in heaven. This is supposed to be a comforting solution to human mortality, right? But, is it just us, or are you a little freaked out by the repetition of "death," "dead," and "dying"?
