Venting What is with everyone in my family being babies about suicide?

They say such a thing because that's what they believe in due to religion telling them that. It isn't like they revel or enjoy that idea as they don't want her to go through such a thing but it's more so that they believe in such a thing due to following religion instead of logic. I'm also an atheist as I acknowledge that there is no god. My sister is in a good place in the sense that there is no "her" anymore as she was a by product of her brain which has ceased to exist meaning that she, along with all of her suffering and pain, also ceased to exist.

Ive noticed with religion humans love to fantisize images of grandre and love to try to make sense of their consiousness. Its sad to see what it does for relationships

i think folks like us having a rational conversation with normies about suicide is about as realistic as a vegan trying to convince a hunter to go vegan...or a pro-choice person trying to convince an evangelical christian that abortion is okay.

Hunter here. Are you telling me to go vegan?? /s

I feel... it is a true tragedy when religion... ends up dividing people, not just personally, but familially, as well. Religion should never come to that. It is a cause of celebration when unity and genuine love (not just "tolerance" but actual ideological harmony) is able to be shared between communities, people, friends,--especially--family, of differing religious beliefs.
