You Don't Necessarily Owe God Anything

I'm not sure how that affects the argument I was trying to make. "Wanting to die" is already wrong, I'm pretty sure. Committing suicide is just going through with it. This guy should try to change his view on life and convince himself not to want to die.

By the way, why do you use "it" to refer to this individual? Really getting into the conservative slavemaster logic, huh, :P?

Your argument states that the people who are miserable for not being free at all (beyond having a "free" will) should appreciate what they have when in reality they don't have anything valuable to appreciate. Again, except maybe the thought of prematurely dying some day. You are asking for too much from these people, and so is God. You can't simply force people to like something that they dislike.

I used the word "it" for the simple fact that there were and are both male and female slaves. I mean, even today we sometimes hear stories about some crazy dude or even dad keeping a young girl as a sex slave. They deserve recognition in my opinion.

But they do have something valuable to appreciate; life in itself. It's not too much to ask from someone if they have the most wonderful thing there is.

And you realize that you can't use "it" to refer to a human being in the English language, :P? "He or she" or "they" would work better. Unless you're trying to objectify them. Since we're trying to get into the heads of slavemasters, that seems fine.
