Yeah, St. Andrew and Jesus and all...those guys (and gals, like St. Pelagia of Antioch) could have avoided death, but didn't. "So-called Christians," eh?

Sorry, but for CENTURIES after Christ's life and death, Christians would look forward to death as a chance to be with their Lord, and a love of life was viewed as being tied too strongly to this temporal existence.

I hope you're not equating "right to die" and abortion to martyrdom for the cause of Christ!
