Anyone here consider themselves “actively religious”?

[-nobodyknows-]

Personally, I am. I still try my best to hold on to my faith. I know it's kind of weird since I'm planning to ctb, and there don't appear to be too many people like me here. But if anyone's curious, here's my perspective.

I don't believe that everyone who kills themselves goes to Hell. I believe that's just too sad of a fate, especially considering the people that do tend to be quite hurt.

When it's all over, I just hope that I can find some peace. I want to be embraced and told "it's okay, it's over now." I don't know if that's what will happen, but that's the mercy I pray for. I just want to go back to God.

I'm not but i understand your reasoning, the catholic people i know don't believe people that commit suicide go to hell. I wish i could believe in something but i'm just skeptical about everything, it sucks.

Yes, I am Christian as well and I worry about what God will think if i ever go forward with ctbing. But he knows how much faith we have in him and he understands that we are trying our best to stay strong and sometimes it's not enough, i never doubted that from him. I hope that if I ever do it that God can forgive me and have mercy on me, and I hope he welcomes you too, no matter what. I'm glad to find another religious person here!

I am also a Christian, and it is truly ironic that a person just like me is browsing this forum and planning his own death. So perhaps the best term I could use for myself is "False Christian", since I don't usually go to church because I find it a boring place, but I personally have nothing against the Christian religion or any other religions, and I also don't blame God for life's problems. The real cause of life's problems are human beings themselves.

I believed in God for a long time, and I still do, but I don't have the habit of praying and talking to God. I only do it in critical moments, and at those moments I feel bad, as if I'm asking for His help only when it suits me, and after everything is fine, I forget about Him. But that's not entirely true. I do think about Him and fear going to Hell after I die, because they say that murder is a mortal sin, and therefore, the act of taking your own life counts as murder. But unless you repent in the end, while you're still alive, you have a chance of salvation. At least, that's what people say, and as a Christian, I believe it.

I've seen people who have found salvation by going to church, and after about 3-4 months without going to one, I'm planning on going again next weekend to see if I can feel better, because faith is something that helps many people out there to deal with their problems. But anyway, I hope that everyone who reads this feels good, whether they are Christian or not, regardless of their belief or religion.

I'm the opposite I was raised Christian but as I've grown and been exposed to traumatic horrible shit and seeing everything on the news etc I just cant love god or his creation if he exists. I feel myself hating him and wanting to destroy everything he made. Life to me in every form is a pretty horrific state of existence. Nature is so cruel, cold and callous and I just cant be that way. My view is that gods creation(the world) needs to die and be at peace finally free embracing the nothingness we came from. Death for me will be a release and I envy the dead.
