I think saying death is not terrible is a bit off the mark. I agree that death is not wrong. I mean how could it be wrong? Its independent of morality, it just happens.

But death can be terrible for those who go through a painful death and it can be terrible for those who lose someone close to them. It can lead to terrible lives. I had a really nice friend who was married to his soul mate and they had a 6 year old son. His wife just died of cancer. It was terrible. He's going to have some terrible times ahead as a single father. He feels really alone right now and I don't know how he will pull through. I'm happy he has support now, but I can't imagine how alone he feels.

So I think this opinion is dumbing down death a bit. Sounds like you're trying to build a wall to protect yourself from the really terrible things that come from death. Now that's great, I'm not knocking that, but I think this opinion works in a vacuum. Death is far more complicated, and it's usually terrible.
