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 :(Why can't we just tell god we want to quit?
Don't feel sorry for yourself. Fight and find a way.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.
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.Don't feel sorry for yourself. Fight and find a way.
How do you know there is a god? God is just something people have written about in religious scriptures.Why can't we just tell god we want to quit?
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?I want to quit, but i guess i'll carry on because what are the options?

Because he's not the boss of usWhy can't we just tell god we want to quit?
Free will doesn't exist.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:
From here, theists usually rely on the free will defence to explain suicidality. But free will is an impossible joke.
- According to who? "Supposed" necessitates an intentional agent. God? Where is he? He's playing hide and seek or...?
- 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.
- 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?
