She is dead. And that is not the point of Christianity. Do you not know scripture?

Well, I'm quite certain that YOU will die if you persist in your sins. The rest of us hope to live in Christ.

St. Matthew 22.32 I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.

St. John 11.23 Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26 And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?
27 She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

A Christian falls asleep in the Lord. Pagans and heretics and the like die the death, as will you, since it is so earnestly your wish. God will not deny you what you want.

Blessed Mary lives and reigns forever with Christ and the Apostles and Martyrs and Saints.

And of the elect, he was one indeed, the wonderful martyr Polycarp, who in our days was an apostolic and prophetic teacher, bishop of the Catholic Church in Smyrna. ... Now with the Apostles and all the just he is glorifying God and the Father Almighty, and he is blessing Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of our souls, the Helmsman of our bodies, and the Shepherd of the Catholic Church throughout the world. (Martyrdom of St. Polycarp, 16.2, 19.1, AD 155/157)

LOL. as the verse says Although he be dead (there it is again) Although his body dies, his spirit lives. This is no change from the Old testament differentiations between physical or Bodily life and spiritual life. They are not one in the same. You are deliberately obfuscating and mistating what is being said. You can't be that dumb. Sorry.
