Suicide and the afterlife

[Whiterain]

We're in an allocation. I'm serious. It's the same rhubarb everwhere. People just want closure, closure in the gospels, closure in denial. I just wanna have a laugh, I perpetuate my space wizardry and witchcraft herein forum to meet you kind craven. You're ilk may be best left to its own if I have any recollection of you, son.

You get some help. Go on now.


I'm fine.

... Touche... I've made an *** of myself for the day.... Frankenstein.... Although I was emphasizing your overly assurgency with the emotions. Keep it funny, keep it in the pixels.

It isn't up to us to speak for the suffering of other people, so I don't think blowing up the entire planet is a good idea. Your life though, and if you can't take the suffering, then ending it is your choice. Don't kill yourself expecting to go to a blissful heaven. Death is death. There is no afterlife. Your soul will not live on, and you will not be reunited with your family or some God. You will just be dead, and you will disintegrate back to the dust of the earth. The reason I go on living is because if there is nothing beyond this life, then I sure as hell am not going to waste the one life I have to live worrying about what could exist beyond it.

Indeed it's our choice, but one might not be successful in their attempt..

Don't kill yourself expecting to go to a blissful heaven. Death is death. There is no afterlife.

You don't know that .. that is pure speculation.
Nobody knows for sure what will happen to them after death. Those who believe rely on Almighty God's mercy.
Enduring severe hardship is not easy .. those who endure patiently will be victorious eventually.

Yes, sucking at killing oneself is even worse than doing it successfully.

I bit base but basically a philosophy people should come to terms with. I'm a cynic myself, I've been done arguing with people for the later part of a decade now. I just put it in print, take or leave it.

Although I do not believe in Dante's hell, I do think that suicide makes the afterlife somewhat miserable. Many religions believe that the souls are just stuck between worlds...

It is true that life today has it's share of suffering and misery. Rather than relief in an afterlife in heaven, the Bible promise is; "God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:3,4)
God has promised to end the suffering that today makes life unbearable for so many. Those who have died in the past have the hope of resurrection back to life in a paradise earth. Coming to know about God's promises has saved many who were contemplating suicide due to hopelessness and despair.

Heaven .. paradise earth..
It boils down to the same thing .. the righteous will be victorious eventually
