Strange... if heaven is so desirable and you believe that by
believing in Christ you for sure will get there, then shouldn't
you want to get there earlier rather than later?

======================

 One's getting there is not achieved by wanting to, it happens
according to god's will, the idea being that the stronger your
faith and reliance on god's will, the better your chances. So
perhaps demanding aggressive survival procedures might be due to
last minute attempts to perfect one's faith?
