Do normies use the Abrahamic religions to demonize us?

[Ambivalent1]

Pagans viewed suicide as noble and brave while Christians call us losers, weak, etc.

And yet, I've heard Christian believers point out that both King Saul & his armour bearer killed themselves. I'm not so sure that all Jews and Christians can be lumped in together in their views on self harm or suicide. Whilst I'm no authority on doctrine, I've met folk of all beliefs (and none) who have had differing views.

I don't think it's so cut and dry. I grew up protestant Methodist and it wasn't an unforgivable sin, it views it as a natural death by disease (depression). But other protestant churches demonized it, I don't know if all but definitely Baptist, Nazarene, & Lutheran. Catholics do too, but not a protestant church. I don't know about other religions' thoughts on it so can't say for certain. But there is for sure one that doesn't (Methodist). So I think it largely just depends. No clue what Judaism says on it.
