Needs Work
You're wanting to base a discussion on a hypothetical being and then expect participants to think about whether they are leading lives in accordance with the desires of the hypothetical being. I say hypothetical because you said "if".
I don't see this as a viable discussion because participants have no way of knowing what your hypothetical being desires.
If you are talking about the Judeo/Christian God, then just say that. At least then participants will then have an idea of what is expected or can find out anyway.
Are you trying to say that the death drive prevents believers from obeying their gods or just the Judeo/Christian God?
As written, I'm not inclined to promote because it is too vague.

I am saying that the death drive prevents people from doing what is best for themselves.
Then the hypothetical being is an unnecessary element in the discussion.
I suggest that you rewrite the OP and leave out the hypothetical being. IMO, it confuses the issue.
