suicide |
What do Mormons and Atheists think about suicide? I'm not religious,
and don't believe in "happy life after this one". That is why I think
killing yourself just because your neighbor got a bigger SUV than you,
and life is so depressing over the holidays, is just wrong.
Remember Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket? He went INSANE and killed
himself, because he thought he might get killed in Vietnam. Guess what,
there are no 72 virgins there. When you are dead, you are in the world
of *****.
Anyway, I think I've said my piece and won't post on this subject any
more. I just wanted to say one more thing before I leave: just because
you plan to kill yourself, does not mean you have to act like total
assholes to everyone. Is this how you want to be remembered? Thanks.

This particular atheist thinks that -
a) it's very sad for all parties involved when people kill themselves.
Yes, to the living it is a tragedy 99% of the time.
b) but that for the individual in question, it might be just what they
wanted.
c) nobody knows what happens after death anyway and
d) everybody has the right to choose as they see fit.
Further, I'm sure there's a much better way to say all that, but I've

I've not known many suicidal people contemplating it over those types

Why do you think they call it alt.suicide.HOLIDAY? This 19-year-old
girl was on CNN after alt.suicide.holiday helped her kill herself. She
even filled out a survey before doing it:
http://www.geocities.com/suzygmemorial/posts/survey.html
I don't see advanced stage AIDS or cancer there.

Well I came here after this whole thing was already over, so obviously
I never knew this person. But just from what I've read, it sounds like
she was extremely determined and the fact that we even have stuff that
she wrote still around is probably because of the connections she made
at ASH. Ironic though that it would cause the news to make such a big
deal of it - I'm sure this is not what she wanted.
I don't see advanced stage AIDS or cancer there.
Whatever. Other people have already responded to this narrow-minded
view. Thank you for providing the link though. The more I read about
this person, the more I wish I had gotten the chance to talk to her.
Probably would have been one of the most interesting people I'll ever
meet.

That would be wrong, but depression causes many to do things like
that.
On the other hand is declining health, retaining dignity, and
halting suffering by halt 'heroic measures' which will not
save a life, just add to the misery.
And again, suicide in face of excruciating pain, say cancer
that is incurable, is yet another issue.
This is not a simple yes or no issue.
There are nuances.

Isn't dead the 'state' we were in before we were born? After all, if we
weren't alive before our birth, or, as some say, our 'conception',
then, we could only have been dead, right? Now, as it didn't leave a
lasting impression, I don't recall anything about it. If we have a
superphysical part of our minds which survives the death of our bodies,
then, as likely as not, it existed before our birth. In the grand
schemelessness of things, our short lives are as a flash of a camera.
If, and we probably don't, have some sort of superphysical part of our
minds which survives the death of our bodies, then, likely, we will be
dead for much, much longer than we will ever live; in terms of the
self, our lives, whether we lived long, or short, will matter naught at
all. And, there are none of us, who, for any purposes of our own,
though most of us may want to, 'need' to live.
If you believe in the Punishment God, then, it doesn't matter, what you
do. Kill yourself, sin every sin imaginable (multiple times if you like
it) or what, if you are on his 'favored' list, you are all set, your
going to heaven, if you are on his ***** list, your fucked. According to
the fables, your fate is already written in stone in his book of
life/death.
We are all along for the ride, try to make the best of it, or don't,
everybody else will survive, or won't, without you. It's all, our
entire lives, mankinds history and future, just stories, and someday,
in the natural progression of things, there will be no one here to tell
or hear those stories. Live for today, hope for a tomorrow, and let
yesterday go.

you can not experience death before an existence.
conception/birth is the beginning point of existence, right?
therefore we were not "dead" before conception/birth.

That "death is not to be feared" asserts Epicurus, can be
demonstrated by rational argument. The simple summation of Epicurus'
thesis is his well-known statement that "death is nothing to us"
because at the moment we die-the instant we cease to exist-we
experience nothing. As Warren says, "for something to be good or bad
for some person, that something . . . must be perceived by that
person." Death is not perceived by the individual because the
cessation of life marks the cessation of all sensation, including that
of physical and mental pain. Death is merely the termination of a
stream of consciousness. It is unreasonable, says Epicurus, for us to
be fearful of a future event that will not harm us when it occurs.
"What is no trouble when it arrives is an idle worry in
anticipation,"

Well, I may have another half dozen grandchildren before all is said
and done. it seems kind of odd to say, at this time, when they haven't
even been conceived yet, that they are dead, but what else is there?
They aren't alive.
And, of course we, if there be nothing to us which is superphysical,
wouldn't experience (or be cognizant of) death before conception/birth
because it would be the same as death after we die, we experience
nothing.
If we confine life and death to the flesh, then, my grandchildren of
the future are, are..., well, they are not unthought of.

you can think of the possibilities, but unless your sons and/or

that your sons and/or daughters could die tomorrow or any day
thereafter before the next birth. but this is off-topic so it's

Personally I would never kill myself for any reason; though
I know that's easy to say when I'm not facing some horrible
painful lingering death or anything, that's how I currently
feel.
However, if people do want to kill themselves then I have
no objections to it being legal, and legal for others to
help them. Indeed I have no moral objections to the
"suicide booth" of Futurama (though I do have practical
objections).
Remember Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket? He went INSANE and killed
himself, because he thought he might get killed in Vietnam.
Er, I don't think that's why he killed himself...

Personally I don't much care how I'm remembered. Outside
a certain few, I have very little interest in what other
people think of me either now or in the future.

That's not possible. One of Einstein's more proven theories states that
matter and energy can not cease to exist. They only change form. I
believe that's why he was so religions, because according to the laws

You are lying:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Religious_views
You do not read anything carefully, are you? If you just read the link you,
yourself provide and read careful Einstein's own words:
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior
spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive
with our frail and feeble mind."

Did he say that before or after smoking a joint?

Hi,
My advice to the other groups: ignore this troll.
He went INSANE and killed himself, because he thought he
might get killed in Vietnam.
He is obviously not accessible to the most basic logic. A does not want
X, therefore he does X. Yeah, right.
Guess what, there are no 72 virgins there. When you are
dead, you are in the world of *****.
He obviously knows exactly what's awaiting us after death, so he is
superior to all of us poor humans that still can only speculate.
Anyway, I think I've said my piece and won't post on this subject any
more.
He obviously does not want to argue or really hear what you have to
say.

I was talking about deporting suicidals. The creep I was replying to
deleted his message, so it looks as if I'm replying to myself, even
though I'm not even talking about this thread.
P.S. I'll save you from killing yourself. You may hate me now, but
you'll thank me later.

Ah, the classic hallmark of a USENET bully: you say something completely
unfunny and hurtful to a group of people and then, when they get offended,
shrug it off as "a joke" and lay the blame on them for lacking a sense of
humour.
Well, guess what? If the average person's sense of humour allows them to
see something like that as funny, then I'm damn' glad I'm not an average
person. *My* sense of humour is an order of magnitude more subtle than
that, and doesn't seek to capitalise on the misfortunes of others. You
might think about trying it sometime.
