Unless of course you are eternally secure, but we don't even want to get into that.

Perhaps it would be more correct to say "whose followers claim to be the Truth."
Actually Zak, from all accounts He did claim to be the Truth (God incarnate) and that alone cost Him His Life.
Or if I wasn't a Christian I could still reply: "but Zak, he did claim to be the truth implying he was God incarnate and that alone cost him his life."
Just thought I'd clarify
"My wretchedness pointed Him to the Cross to unite with me; His blessing points me to the Cross where I can be united to Him. As I abide daily in Christ, I shall forever taste the Joy, Power, and Completeness of the Holy Spirit within me."

If someone like Zakath was in a Terri Schiavo-like predicament, and unable to voice repentance, would you advocate keeping him alive, or would you rather allow nature to take its course?

I would always advocate keeping the victim alive in Terri's predicament.
