I’m sorry that you don’t know the difference between just war and murder. You seem very confused on a number of important points, frankly.
Consider, the Bill of Rights grants us the ‘Inalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness’. Do I have the ‘inalienable right’ to be a slave, if I so desire? Do I have the right to seek misery? Yes, these are my God-given rights - as is the right to seek death.
You seek to oppress others, to force your will - and all tyrants are opposed by Freedom loving individuals. Just as I need not ask, or care about your opinion as to my church, I need not ask your opinion to terminate my life.
Here's a real simple litmus test. A murder victim is NEVER a willing participant. Murder, by it's very essence is a violent act perpetrated against an unwilling victim.
Perhaps if you knew anything about ALS, you would be a bit more compassionate. Think of it as a death sentence that will end with your slow suffocation, where you are just too exhausted to breathe on your own. You see, first you lose your balance and can't hold things. You trip easily, you can't hold your knife and fork. So, someone feeds you and you wind up wheelchair bound. Then you lose your ability to control your limbs entirely, followed by your bowels. Later on, you lose your ability to talk. Then, you find yourself having to consciously concentrate on breathing.
You can't communicate, you can't eat, dress, move, move your fingers or toes - and in the end; you will lie in your bed gasping until you die.
But hey; your kind and loving God WANTS you to suffer this - it must give you and him a heck of a good laugh to watch someone wither and die like this. If you are lucky; this will all happen and you will die in just 6 months or so; if you are not so lucky - you can hang in there for several years in bed.
Meanwhile, the medical bills will mount; you will exceed your $2 Million medical insurance allowance, some self-righeous and arrogant tool will use every legal means to stop you, or your spouse from the inevitable. You will leave behind a bankrupt spouse, without a home, retirement or savings.
But, as you feel good about your decision; that's all that matters, right? My sincere advice? Do not get in the way of someone who doesn't believe as you do, it will not end well. Show them the same level of respect they show you; allow them to live and die, as they see fit. You are free to make whatever decision you want with your life; but not someone else’s.
