Having a disease is terrible not just because it leads to death, 4tigs.
You make a LOT of assumptions about what people think, and they tend to all justify you thinking about them as lesser than you or misguided, or it somehow justifies your beliefs.
I don't think you even notice it.
I don't know many people at all in my life who view or viewed death as "the ultimate bad" - most are rational people who understand death and don't scream wildly as they near it - even if they aren't "of Faith".
