Why does everyone say you’ll go to hell if you do suicide?

[MusicTokuXX]

Like what if we’re suffering in life? Are we supposed to live until we die? While suffering?

[strateguy632]

1, because you will

Everyone suffers so that is no excuse. Now chronic pain is different that is like when they blinded samson's eyes.

Samson (Judges 16:29-31)

By collapsing a building, Samson sacrificed his own life "

I suffer from chronic medical conditions! I suffer everyday. Everyone suffers? No? I see so many people happy and healthy.

[Bitter_Sweet94]

A lot of that comes from old religious teachings, not from logic or compassion.

Many traditions used fear based language in the past to stop people from harming themselves, because they didn’t understand mental health at all.

But today we know better

* Suicide usually comes from deep pain, not “sin.”

* People struggling deserve help, not threats.

* No loving God would punish someone for being overwhelmed and hurting.

Most of the “you’ll go to hell” talk is outdated, misinterpreted, or used by people who don’t know how to comfort someone properly.

If anything, it shows how badly we need more empathy when discussing mental health not fear, shame, or guilt.

Oh please ! everyone suffers.

[Bitter_Sweet94]

Everyone suffers, yes but not everyone reaches the same breaking point.

Pain isn’t a competition.
Some people cope quietly, some crumble, and some reach a place they can’t climb out of alone.

Acknowledging that doesn’t make anyone weak, it just makes us human.

A little compassion goes a lot further than dismissing what people feel.

Well the Commandments say “Thou shall not kill”. Suicide is killing yourself which breaks the Commandment:

Life changes and if you check out early you don’t get to see those changes and the wonder of life. I knew someone who committed suicide this year. He had a wife and 2 kids. What a mess for them. His parents were devastated.

I suffer from chronic medical conditions! And a lot more! What am i supposed to do? I am tired of suffering! I have nobody anyways. Most of my family i’m close to died, I only have my dad who is already old.

I always thought that if I near that point that I would be free. Free to go and live a new life. For me, I would sell everything, get a car and move to Colorado/Utah/Arizona and just hang out there. Live a low-key life, camping, looking at nature, meeting new people. I would just live a new life. Perhaps physically you can’t do all of that but some you can. See the world that is out there would be my thought. Nature beauty of the world and random people, some of whom will become new friends. If that gets old go to California or New England, perhaps Canada.

How old is your dad? If you are 26 then he had you late if he is really old. It’s not a fault, it just is. You have a blank check if that is where your head is. You can write a whole new life.

[MusicTokuXX]

? You clearly didn’t read anything i said because your advice does not relate to my problem!! I suffer from chronic medical conditions! My dad is 68. Also to travel you need money!

[jshm2]

Because you caused pain to the people who found your corpse, and were entrusted with your care.

Obviously if you're mad, or looney tunes, then that is a different matter as you didn't know any better.

[MusicTokuXX]

? Then what do you consider every death in the world then? Murders happen, people find the bodies. Suicide is no different!

I suffer from chronic medical conditions! What is the point?

[slatyb]

Everyone? I and all of my friends don't believe in hell. But if you are considering suicide, please get professional help. I've been there. It gets better.

[MusicTokuXX]

You are an atheist. It annoys me to no end! I don’t need professional help! Wdym professional help? I suffer from chronic medical conditions! Nothing will get better!!

[michael3478]

You do at least at first, but you can beg for forgiveness at least that is what happened to me.

[MusicTokuXX]

What? That’s what happened to you? Wtf are you talking about?

[michael3478]

Im not kidding i did an od and had a out of body experience with demons growling at me.

[MusicTokuXX]

That doesn’t sound real. Also that means you were a bad person to begin with.

[michael3478]

It was real there many near death experiences that explain how you detach from your body and start floating upwards it's the first thing that happens when you die you enter the spiritual world.

No one knows who will go to heaven or hell.
