Suicide is Salvation

[FarAcrossTheWater]

Why can't we just tell god we want to quit?

I want to quit, but i guess i'll carry on because what are the options? I'm stuck here on this awful planet :(
Oh god, i feel so sorry for myself.

Don't feel sorry for yourself. Fight and find a way.

I'll just oversleep & stream stuff. Until I have to start my masters, my mum will probably help me with that. Then, hopefully train to be a teacher. If i have no motivation, I can always become a NEET. My parents said they will support me financially regardless.

How do you know there is a god? God is just something people have written about in religious scriptures.

I understand, it is hard to kill yourself in a society that does everything to prevent human death. Many suicide attempts fail. The best death is to die with the help of a doctor, but not everyone has that opportunity. Dare you use the R2D Rebreather II?

Because he's not the boss of us

Either a) there is no god, or b) God wants people to suffer. Therefore a loving God does not exist. QED. ∴

I do not believe in any God. Suicide is salvation to me as it is taking control over a life we did not ask to live in the first place. Death is the ideal state for me, no more consciousness, just permanent peace. I think the problem is as humans we are programmed to live and survive and we lack the rights to die. It really is hard and requires a lot of courage. Life can be so cruel and can cause us pain out of our control so we deserve an way out.

Because there's probably no God and if there is, he/she/it is just a goddamn bastard who loves forcing us to live.

 

[Not Being]

Sometimes I wonder the following:

Could the act of giving birth in this world be considered as an act of protection / salvation / love?

Suicide is certainly a salvation in my opinion.

The lack of an 'off-switch' on the human body makes it obvious to me that we weren't "intelligently designed". We were sculpted by an uncaring, unintelligent process over billions of years (something intelligent wouldn't take so long), a barbaric meat grinder gauntlet. Additionally, the argument that we're "supposed to live", no matter what, falls flat for three reasons:

1. According to who? "Supposed" necessitates an intentional agent. God? Where is he? He's playing hide and seek or...?
2. Even if there's a god who intends for us to live at any cost, why should we obey that god? Just because they created us and hold a lot of power over us, and might punish us for disobeying? Not very convincing.
3. If we were truly designed to live (by a being with apparently PERFECT knowledge no less), then why do many of us will to die, at any moment of our lives? Isn't that terrible design?

From here, theists usually rely on the free will defence to explain suicidality. But free will is an impossible joke.

we are in a prison, only the creators of this simulation decide to get us out of it with suffering, old age and illness.

Free will doesn't exist.
