Discussion Predestination and my will to live

[clarelively]

Christians often say that people who commit suicide will go to hell. But on the other hand there's a doctrine (Calvinism; predestination) that states only the elected ones will be saved by grace. Then why do God create the unelected ones? Did He create them only to let them burn in Hell? If that's so, then why do we choose to have faith in Him; we don't know whether we're the elect or not and if we're not we'll probably end up in Hell anyway. To be created and to end up in Hell, is that really a life worth living?

Religion is BS. We're already in hell.

Nope, that's untrue. From many many years ago christians are not buried without head. Living in 2019, is it?
Second point. Calvinism=Christian, do not forget it.And I'm not totally sure....even into Catholicism.
And Grace, I think that is a female name.

Catholism is different from protestants. The Catholic believes everyone is saved but they have to go through Purgatorium (like we have to walk through fire to be purified before we go to Heaven). Whether we'll suffer or not depends on ourselves but at least after the purification we'll be guaranteed to go to Heaven. Also BS stands for bullshit
