D'ya see?

On the contrary! To die is a biological process. The cessation of existence is a metaphorical extension of the concept. That metaphor also implies a non-biological aspect of existence--a soul or spirit, if you will--because in most cases of death, there is definitely a continuation of existence, often as the sort of gruesome remains that keep the special-effects crews busy on "CSI" and "Bones." As to the metaphorical sense, we have no basis at all for assuming that passing out of our range of interaction actually means passing out of existence. You simply assume it, just as others assume an afterlife. On a less philosophical and more practical level, Christians understand what dying is. We just assert that it is no more permanent a state than our present life, and that Jesus both experienced death and demonstrated its impermanence. You may disagree, but it is unbelievably silly to assume that we don't understand what we're saying. You're arguing from willful ignorance of our position, just like the creationists who so frequently claim that the theory of evolution misunderstands the nature of life.

It doesn't say much of Jesus's sacrifice either - if there was no change to God before or after Jesus's life. So in conclusion - what exactly was sacrificed at Jesus's crucifixion? Just one mortal, human life. God, apparently, lived on. Also, if God's plan is to reassemble all the bodies of the dead... how dumb is that? To reassemble the same imperfect sinners, to exactly the same imperfect design? Dumb, Dumb, Dum-De-Dum. And they say it's "intelligent design"?

Yes, it's a very old-fashioned expression.
It can be a preposition= in spite of
an adverb= nevertheless; all the same
or a conjunction= although
