As a child I went to a Catholic church and school but left when i was still young because i was sick of the hypocrisy. I like the idea of believing in something, i just dont know what. I like to think that when we die we get to be with the people we loved in life. Or are we just worm feed or ash you know and the idea of meeting up with our loved ones is just a fantasy. Id be interested to hear what people think?

I believe we get reunited with our loved ones. If you have some unresolved things then you turn into a ghost but you don;t have emotions or anything but you can still see the living. I believe we get reincarnated eventually but we don't remember that life. I see us like batteries, we get reused and reused. I see death as being peaceful. You may have left your body and it's being chewed on by worms but your soul remains intact.

Religion says suicide is bad because they don't want people leaving their group. The lower their population, the less power they have.

Ive always been aware of how many religions look at suicide but frankly i dont give a shit what they say. Whats important to me is my take on religion, we each have our own take on God or whatever you want to call him/her. Im trying to figure out what i actually believe in. As an adult,Ive never really alligned myself to any religion. I dont think you need a label of sorts to have faith in something. But funnily enough, even though i wanna CTB its important to me whats on the other side. Ive never really thought about this before.

I've heard many things, the most popular answer of which, is Hell. I believe a Hell exists but I don't believe people who CTB go to Hell for that specific reason. I read a post on here a few days ago when I was sure I was going to CTB. I was trying to comfort myself, as I don't want to go to Hell, and a few comments said that God will forgive you. Love the sinner, hate the sin. That's what I believe, as a fairly religious person.

If you're asking me I'd say we'll all end up in the void. Do you remember the place before you were born? You're probably going to be there after you're dead.
_______________________________________________

As someone who used to be a Muslim, hell awaits those who commits suicide. Interestingly, insane people don't get into hell (according to Islam ofc) which used to lead me wondering whether mentally-ill individuals who kill themselves are hellbound or otherwise since we're technically not in the utmost perfect level of sanity.

Love the sinner, hate the sin. Yeh that makes sense to me. I guess i still have some of my catholic beliefs still swimming around. I think i believe in a hell.Think i kinda believe in a heaven too.

I too was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school, so was raised with the belief that suicides go to Hell. That's one of the reasons I've not been able to bring myself to follow through on my suicidal thoughts in all my 50+ years. But even as a child, the idea of someone suffering so badly that they felt their only escape from their pain and suffering was to end their life would be punished by a loving God didn't make sense to me. I like to think that God would understand, and wouldn't send someone to eternal damnation for wanting to be free of pain/suffering. I honestly don't know the Church's exact stance regarding suicides nowadays, although I do know that they do now allow persons who've committed suicide to be buried in consecrated ground (Catholic cemeteries) whereas in the past, those people WEREN'T allowed burial there.

I hope after death we are allowed to be with our loved ones and in a beautiful, wonderful place although I am not sure I believe in Heaven in the sense that many religions teach it. I think of it as more spiritual plane of existence now, although I do still believe there is a higher power of some sort as well but I want to believe that higher power or Source or whatever one may call it, is one of Love and therefore isn't going to punish anyone for suicide.

All that said, I can't shake that ingrained Catholic teaching that "suicides go to Hell" no matter how hard I try, and that scares me. I can say all day that I don't believe a truly loving, forgiving God would punish anyone that way, and I *DO* believe that...but that small voice from my childhood still whispers about going to Hell. It's very confusing and a conflict that I can't seem to resolve.

I truly don't know what happens after death. I just don't want to reincarnate. There is so many ways to suffer in this reality. I hope I can be spared from reincarnation, if reincarnation is real. Once is enough for me.

I would hope i get to meet my family members who have passed on. But if its just a void thats fine too. I think that if i do go to hell i'll be a bit sad. I'd reached out for help today and the person said "There is no place in hell for those who have loved and fought as fiercely as you. The stigmas your family have could be fear. They don't want to lose you". My cousin keeps saying that if you commit suicide you'll go to hell. But idk. As long as it feels like sleep, I'm in.

If you really want to know...read Dante's Inferno, the chapter on what happends to peope who have committed suicide in hell...it might put you off wanting to ctb ! Or you stop believing in the afterlife like myself. For me, non-existence after you die is enough !

I'm honestly not sure what happens since I've never been to the other side. I do believe in an intelligent creator of sorts, but I wouldn't call it a religion at all, since it's just a little belief that I have and I see no reason to pray to it or to even think it cares about any of us. I was raised as a Protestant Christian, so I used to believe lots of crazy stuff, with one of those being that people who ctb would get sent to Hell, but I'm not so sure if that idea is Biblical or not. More than anything, it sounds like another scare tactic to control the believers, so it's probably not worth taking seriously.

I think the most likely thing to happen when we die is that we will stop existing when the brain shuts down. I don't know of any study or test that can detect a soul and of course there is the fact that suffering from brain damage can drastically change someone's personality, depending on where it is damaged, and memories can be erased from it as well. If there was a soul hanging around inside of us, shouldn't it have all of that information stored safely, so that the brain being damaged would have no effect on those things? If that was the case, then maybe that soul would go somewhere when the body dies, but if there isn't one, then we would disappear when our brains died, kind of like data on a hard drive getting erased if the drive gets destroyed.

If it does turn out that something bad happens to me after I die, the fact that I ctb probably won't be the reason - if there is a god that wants to send me to some eternal Auschwitz, telling him, her, or them to fuck themselves will be the reason for it. I don't have a lot of hope for there being anything good after this anyway, but that could be my pessimism talking.

im Greek Orthodox, and they believe you go to hell, but it says in the bible that every sin is forgiven, so maybe we will be ok, i just feel sorry for my family as they would be refused a burial service from our church, but the english church will do it so thats ok with me lol

I would hope there is something more than nothing, and that you'd be able to choose whether or not to reincarnate. I'd like another shot at life. I think odds are that I'd have a much better family and life.

I don't know what will happen. My guess is either the void, reincarnation, or something inconceivable.
