[Semper]

We know that God does not want Terri dead yet. If He did, she'd be dead.

With that reasoning, God must want the victims of murder to die (because if God did not want them dead, they would not be).

But whatever, the evidence is that Terri is already dead in mind; there are just some who want to keep her body around as long as possible.

Not quite the same thing. With a murder (as Mikey Schiavo is attempting), there is an outright act of an individual to take the life of another. God does allow that, although He doesn't cause it. But when one is making an effort to maintain life, e.g. feeding yourself or another, God can end that life regardless of man's best efforts, if He so chooses. In other words, if God wanted Terri dead, she'd be dead.

"But whatever, the evidence is that Terri is already dead in mind"

Dead in mind means no brain activity. Terri has brain activity, friend, so you are wrong.
