As for the Christian aspect, this has been kicked around the Church for about as long as the Church has existed and the prevailing answer is, "No, dying to get to Heaven isn't the point; the point is what Jesus told us, that the Kingdom of God is among/upon/within us. So living as branches of the True Vine or children of the Living God or whatever metaphor you want to use--there are a lot of them--is the point. But if we must die before we are old and ready to go, we should die as well as we can: with grace, helping as many people as we can, and trusting that we will be met on the other side of the river."

This is a great answer. Words everyone can live by, Christian or not. I especially like the part I bolded; if everyone simply took this advice, 99% of the world's problems could be solved. But alas, we are only human--and that's what gets in our way.

You know the tagline......guns don't kill people! The irony here really is quite delicious.
