It makes sense to me. A religious person in pain without hope looks at suicide as an option and thinks, "I've got it bad now, but it's only going to get worse

It makes sense to me.
A religious person in pain without hope looks at suicide as an option and thinks, "I've got it bad now, but it's only going to get worse if I do this..."
Whereas a non-religious person is thinking, "I've got it bad now, but if I do this I won't have to feel anything ever again"
- auntyJemima 10y agoAlso because, suicide is forbidden in the majority of religious. God doesn't like it.
- CaptSpify 10y agoAlso: religions usually set up a system of support. You have a "club" of people you hang out with all the time, and it's not unusual to ask for help from the club if your having a hard time. It's also not unusual to get the help you asked for.
- ptaipale 10y agoYes. Also, religions/churches often have pastors, imams, etc who act as therapists. Just having someone to talk to may help.
