“The maint thrust of this thread is the following question: Why can't you get on your knees and pray for mercy?”
I see no reason to believe there’s anyone who’d be listening.
“I contend that it is because you are a slave to death.”
Just making shit up and slapping it on the wall to see if it sticks.
Nope.  Doesn’t.
“My evidence is that you don't want to live forever.”
That’s not evidence. What you have is a projection.  I’m not embracing your superstition, so you think it’s a matter of choosing death.
“My evidence is that you won't believe in anything that says you can.”
Not ’won’t.’   I fucking ’can’t.’  
Your god makes no sense, your (everyone’s) arguments for it depend on wishful thinking, poor math, poorer history, and piss-poor science.
“My evidence is that you think life is bad, and can't wait for it to end.”
Again, you have no evidence, you just make shit up and apply it to others.
“And my final evidence is... because you simply refuse to get on your knees and pray for mercy.”
So, tell me, do YOU refuse to pray to Thor for a good battle death?  Or do you just not think there’d be any point to doing so?
“You can't. And that is because your freedom is chained.”
Hardly.
“You are a slave until you ask to be released. But you won't ask. Why?”
You just keep asking for my motivation to rejecting what i see as your superstition. I see it as a superstition, not a reality.  What more can I say?
