I’d like to die of the comfort of having lived a full life, and the ascend like Daniel Jackson.

Like I said, that’s fine. I choose to die via the Killing Curse.

Because I figure if God has to wait three seconds before he can actually kill me, he might as well be saying something during that time.

I’d ask to look upon God in all his glory, which hopefully would entail some Scanners-style theatrics.

Or, an overdose of morphine to stop my heart, and hopefully the sensation of having a body just prior.

So you’ve chosen ‘beaten to death by God’?

I’d say “make me 300 feet tall”. Once my rampage starts, I’m sure I’d be killed in short order by the military.

So what you’re saying is that your preferred method of suicide is deic smiting, yes? Because from what I remember of the Bible, that’s usually what the big guy tends to do when you sass him like that.

My vote would be a massive cerebral embolism. Nice and quick.

Hee Hee…

I know that it sounds trite, but let me die peacefully while somehow helping others.

I’ll take a gamma ray burst coming out of the depths of the cosmos.

Not only am I taking all of you with me, I’m taking a good chunk of the life in the galaxy with me as well. (You psuedo-bacterium under the frozen crust of the gas giant orbiting Vega know what you did…)

Hi God,  
Aren’t you a contradiction of causality? We’ll talk about that during the judgement process I suppose…

Anyways, take me to 30,000ft and lemme go vertical the whole way down!
