Is there a way to pray yourself to death?

[albstr1403]

I need god or some supernatural entity to just spirit me away

 

[wastingpotential]

plead a god for death and it'll give you anything but that to maximise your suffering

Maybe we just haven't found the right deity to pray to yet

 

[MarkSmith73]

I don't think so. Many prayers aren't answered. This life is like being in a foxhole in a warzone without a radio. It gets better, just not likely here.

Unless someone commits ctb the universe only takes people that dont want to die its cruel

I wish the universe would let me offer my life to help a kid with some terminal illness

The praying wouldn't do it but if you prayed in a live construction site your chances do go up lmao.

TLDR: praying is copium.

I've prayed for this too~ I'm sure many have~ A guy named Job is even detailed as doing so in the Bible~ Unfortunately, God has His own will and won't concede to our every wish~ but we can continue praying~ :)
There's a Buddhist prayer ritual that involves self-mummification, altho that's functionally dying by starvation and thirst, sooo >_<

Well god did give us free will to ctb if needed. Mummification is a badass way to go out though lol

If you pray to the flying spaghetti monster he may bless you by making you choke to death if you try eating some pasta too fast.

 

[thealteredmind]

yeah... jump from a very tall building and pray that you don't end like a cripple

 

[turbomightbegone]

if only prayers can be answered so easily… i think at least half the members here wouldve been gone by now if that's the case

"please god… this putrid world reeks strike me down while i stand right here"

Yeah, isn't it interesting to think about something like Sokushinbutsu, which was seen as a way of being closer to God and achieving a deeper state of peace. Both the people who did it and the community around them saw it as a beautiful, honorable act, and those who completed it were deeply respected for doing so.

Yet it was suicide, there's no way around that, and it involved a lot of self-harm practices too. These monks were slowly enduring extreme, deliberate self-harm for months and years, culminating in their death, and everyone around them knew it. But they deeply respected it.

Compare that to the views on death and dying in many societies today, where even if you die alone and in silence, without another soul knowing, it's considered dishonorable and selfish if it's suicide. The concept of people respecting your choice of when and how to die, much less viewing it as honorable, is completely alien in most places.

I have a cheat code for this. If you buy alphabet hoops and spell out C H O K E and eat each letter then the word becomes true. It's amazing!

I am ready to convert to any religion whose God immediately fulfils death wishes.

I tried that before a medical procedure, hoping that they'd use a too large dose of anaesthetics or something. Interestingly, the medical procedure failed and was cancelled (glad i wasn't awake during it), and the very next day i was robbed while on my way home from work. Never happened to me before, but if god is out there, i guess i was punished in a way

 

[sserafim]

I've tried to manifest my own death before but it didn't work

 

[rozeske]

I have tried it, for long and hard. Did not work. I mean all of a sudden I found my way here, found answers to some questions I had, got introduced to a peaceful and reliable method that I bet my whole country doesn't know about or about this site for that matter.......this could be my prayers being answered, who knows

 

[derpyderpins]

Same. I prayed for over 100 days and then stopped counting to just die in my sleep. No results.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Not in my experience. I've known very devout family members pray for their end every day. If God isn't interested in helping their most loyal sheep, I doubt they have time for the rest of us! (Don't know how religious you are...) Too busy killing people who don't want to die maybe...

 

[dolemitedrums]

Spit in one hand and pray in the other and see which one fills up with something real the fastest...

 

[SoDone]

I tried it for days and came to the conclusion that either God is not real or he does not care enough.

 

[Leiden]

I pray every night to not wake up the next morning. It never works ): I wish it did.

 

[Hollowman]

No

 

[JustA_LittlePerson]

We can't expect God to do all the work can we?

 

[katyusha_kat]

I've been praying for years for an end to my existence. I'm convinced God is a sadist.
