Really? In what way have you profited by rejecting the Christ?

I am no longer subscribing to the claims that Christians make about Him [that's all I have "rejected" ~ I have rejected a mythology] so it's been a spiritual release and the whole thing has been the result of what I see as spiritual maturation. I am no longer bound by religionist dogma that I no longer believe in. I am in a much more spiritually and intellectually healthy place. Looking back, the whole manufactured concept of "salvation" seems so limiting and convoluted.

Thats not what you were asked. What you were actually asked is how you have profited by rejecting the Christ to which you have replied with a logical fallacy, that you have been freed from religious dogma.

I have answered. I have freed myself from something limiting and convoluted which has made me more healthy, intellectually and spiritually. How can you not see that this is to have profited? What logical fallacy are you referring to?

Is death a natural part of life in your opinion? When anyone dies, it
is just something that is going to happen at some time no matter
what?

Yes. It's happened to everyone who's ever lived.

Our bodies wear out and eventually breakdown. If you believe it is "unnatural" to die, you should just come out and say it.

That the only reason, just when our bodies wear out? People die in
their 80's and beyond and they die very early. So people die without
their body wearing out, what about those, they natural too?

People dying "early"? Well diseases and accidents and organ failures and homicides and suicides all can lead to death if they cause fatal damage. It's natural, surely, for a living thing to die if it sustains fatal damage, right?

Yea, it is natural, but death happens at all ages for a variety of reasons
correct?

"early"

Wait, so we agree death is natural? You asked "Is death a natural part of life in your opinion?" but it's also natural in your opinion, so why not ask me the question you are really getting at because the already answered "death happens at all ages for a variety of reasons correct?" can't be what you are really on about. 🙂
