"Why bother creating so many instruments of death?"
why not see death as a door?
the exit is an entry
would a right mind would get upset about a door?
so, actually death does not exist
but conventionally speaking, without so-called "death", nothing could happen, because in order for there to be phenomena, their must be change, or movement.
i.e., an arising and ceasing
when the volume knob is rotated to increase the gain, does the raw data change?
this is analogous to perception
a more important question is the question of suffering
and then we can look at ways to mitigate the causes, that are, generally speaking, often overlooked or designated as irrelevant.

also noticed the comment on this thread about "religious fundamentalist"
and appreciate that it is a step in the right direction
but would like to turn it around so that it makes more sense:
fundamentally religious.
we are all fundamentally religious in many ways
waking up, eating, working, resting, sleeping, etc - to various degrees, we all do these things religiously, and they are relatively fundamental to the animal forms
