I think one of the main reasons I can not do suicide is that I am afraid of going to hell.. They say if u kill your self it’s a major sin and you go to hell? I am not a religious person but the thought of this scares me.. What if this is true what if my after life is worse then my current life?? Is ther an after life?? Is there a hell?? Or is it just death when you die nothing more?

That’s one of the reasons why I’m still here,I’m terrified of hell.
I believe that no one should Determine when or how they die… It’s not our job to do that it’s gods… Killing yourself is like killing anyone else wrong… But I still want and wish I could kill myself…
I personally don’t believe in hell, but if there was such a place how could it he much worse than this world? This place where the powerful corrupt the powerless, doctors corrupt health, lawyers and judges corrupt the law and where every good deed has an evil backbone… I think this is hell.
But what if it just gets worse when you die? … What if nothing gets better?
My belief is that the worst that could possibly happen is that one’s spirit may not die with one’s body. If this is the case, then it is possible one might see things but be powerless to do anything about it. For example, one might see the deterioration in the physical and mental states of those left behind, yet is unable to do anything to help them get through it. That said, this is worst case scenario stuff.
My personal opinion is that it would be just like falling asleep, only never waking up.
Where in the Bible does it say that you’ll go to hell if you commit suicide? I haven’t found that verse, please tell me if you have.
You can’t live your life ruled by fear. That’s a shitty existence. So hell exists, huh? And that’s where you go if you kill yourself? According to who? Do you believe all of the gossip/rumors that you hear?
I’m not suggesting that you kill yourself, I’m just saying that you can’t believe everything that you hear.
In church they talk about it
If you believe in Hell, you have to believe in God. And God is forgiving. He must know how the suicidal are suffering and forgive us for wanting a way out. If anything, I’d hope he’d welcome us home to the safety of Heaven. Only the truly evil go to hell. Those that don’t repent, those that make others suffer. Not the ones who are suffering.
I think the notion that people who commit suicide go to hell was created by people who just want to keep their loved ones in their life. They call us selfish, but what are they being when they want us to stay despite our suffering?? They are selfish for not allowing us to leave our misery in dignity. They will tarnish our memories if we take our own lives. They will hate us. But somehow we’re the selfish ones.
And honestly, that’s why I stay alive… not because of what’s next… but because I don’t want the people I leave behind to remember me in a tarnished way. That’s all suicide does- tarnish memories. It shouldn’t. But it does.
Then I’m back to square one and the cycle continues.
The concept of “hell” is one of the greatest propaganda campaigns in all of mankind next to god himself
no god, no heaven, no hell – just the end of existence. all of the god/devil/religion stuff is bunk because people simply need to believe there is no finality to life – it gives people the extra drive and will to carry on and under pain of afterlife torture, to do the right thing (according to the power brokers).
we should go through life doing he right thing because it’s simply the right thing … but there is no afterlife consequence other than the legacy you leave with the living – when we die – we’re worm food – period.

Interesting. I’m kind of with Khajit. I have been to Hell myself…many many times.
I DON’T believe in the Hell of religious mythology…flames, demons and the like.
However I think the consideration of what happens after we die, and whether it could actually ‘get worse’ is a perfectly normal, natural and genuine one.
It is ONE of the things that gives me pause in attempting on my own life.
My feeling is (and this is personal, not me telling you what to think) that death could be a very beautiful thing if it follows a well-lived life, and is peaceful, around loved ones etc.
I know…well, I just KNOW, that committing the violent act of self-murder, which is what suicide essentially is, is NOT conducive to a peaceful death. So I don’t want to deprive myself of a beautiful and peaceful passing at the appointed hour as it were, by ‘jumping the gun’ and topping myself basically.
If I was long-term suicidally depressed with no hope of improvement, and maybe ageing with failing physical health as well, I would like to opt for an assisted death, in harmonious surroundings with caring people and maybe some loved ones present.
So I am NOT saying that I think suicide is wrong. Just that it is often violent, because assisted dying is not an option that is open to us.
It’s a thorny topic… (picks thorns out of fingers).
