Original Question

Do not let worry kill you off - let the church help.

This deals with spiritual beliefs. Personally, I think spiritual beliefs are awesome, but applying logic and logical fallacies to them doesn't make any sense. They're just beliefs, so they don't necessarily need to be backed up by fact, science, proof, or logic. They're just things we believe.

Ambiguity Fallacy .  Help kill you off or help so worry doesn't

This seems like irony more than an argument, and not very good irony. Perhaps it would be better "Don't drown yourself in worry... leave that to the church."

Alternative Advance . Jesus said, "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"
