suicide- the unforgivable sin? (Page 3) virginkiss: lol, there is a problem w/ me takin anti-depressents: i have a highly addictive nature...thts y i'd never drink or ther junk also. knowing me, i'd get myself in more trouble w/ anti-depressents! lol  XFixYourBrainX: lol oh jeeze, come on now if you tell the doc that, and plus you cant get addicted to them I was afraid of the same thing, plus I hate taking any kind of meds, I find it wrong to put drugs into the body.  wildeyes: Depression gets a really bad rep', Mental Illness, is just that, an illness, treatable. I suffer depression, I have in my teens and early 20's attempted suicide, luckily my sub-conchious was smarter than i was and arranged the methods to be stupid and now as i look back faintly ridiculous. Post Natal depression absolutely did me in, and i went to a GP and got medicated, 1 year of feelin dummer than a brick and talking to councilors, and i am slowly seeing the light. It takes work, and you CAN do it too. Doctors are only the "enemy" if you refuse to admit that a)you have a problem, and b)you dont want to be better. Suicide is never clean or tidy, and i thought the world would be a better place with out me contaminateing it too, but now at 36, i have 4 amazing kids, who have made it "all"worth it. My grandma self euthenised, and i am proud of her (terminally ill, lucid and insane moments) My Dad self euthenised too, same reasons, and i hope if i am ever on the quick slide to a painfull death, i will have half their courage, but.. mate they were in their 90's. Full lives and all that... Your kids might be the people that invent a way to stop global warming, or how to cure depression with one injection. I'll ill use a lovely saying we have here... you'll never know, if you never go.... life's like that too.  hitsugaya252: Hi vk. From spiritual world view, my grandmother had also commited suicide. And those (who claim they can talk to souls) did something and my grandma said that we dont need to do anything for her coz she'll be accepted by the god in heaven after 6month 6days. if that is true, my grandma was veg n very kind person . That 6month gap is for her punishment for commiting suicide.  pratibhapagal: listen , i planned to commit suicide two times in college days.It was a nice and cool planning . But i though once again and told myself why not giveone chance to life? I thought , elderly ppl say tht human body gets to the blessed only otherwise u may get the birth of any insect or even butterfly who dies after giving birth to the next one, with in 14 days. T hen i gave attention to my passion of loving kids .And from then i tried to get the solution of my problems with my own and changed the city , got married with my own choice now i am having a son and leading a registered organisation ASMITA in INDIA who helps in solving the problems in different ways esp. the kids and youngsters. YOUR thread is started with a wrong question my friend !We should always go for the positive side rather than going deep in negative .If by chance we happen to go backward then don`t forget you are the best creature GOD can ever make and get ready for a TIGER LEAPPPPPPP! That would be your new start and you would be surprised for your own new birth !!!!!!!!  oldtimeracer: The original OP has been gone forever but since people still want to beat this dead horse, I'll just mention this. Before you commit suicide, just do me one favor-read Romans 14:7  StuckInTheSixties: Sorry, but I didn't find that helpful in any way. Not that I'm gonna kill myself or anything ... I just don't find it very helpful when someone throws a Bible verse at something as if the problem would be solved just by the reading of it. flashie: ifthat bible verse has stopped or helped anyone feel so desperate it cant be a bad thing. whats sciences' conclusion to suicide? its insanity right?  LiptonCambell: Haha I think sciences "answer" to suicide is it is a complex issue, with no one cause. But yes, sometimes its cause they crazy. You saying that's not religions "answer" from time to time? I'm certain that there's such a thing as a Christian in an asylum... That been said, the bibles "answer" is pretty piss poor. Tellin people that if they commit suicide, they'll spend eternity suffering? My, excuse me if i don't recover from my depression with that inspiring knowledge... StuckInTheSixties: I acknowledge that I truly don't know, I can't see into the future, but I've considered what my course of action (or inaction) would be if I was diagnosed with a fatal disease, such as the pancreatic cancer my mother died from. But I think there's a good chance that at a certain point, I'd be willing to simply end my life. I'm not too keen on the idea of a long, lingering painful ending in a hospital room. I'm quite sure that if such a diagnosis occurred, I'd take steps to try very hard to make sure I had that option, and to avoid a circumstance where even if I wished to exercise that option, I wouldn't be able to. Although technically, it wasn't suicide, my father made a decision to die, and by his decision, brought about the circumstances to end his own life. At 93, his cardio-vascular system was simply to weak to sustain him without really extreme medical measures. His life had basically become a series of crises that were occurring more and more rabidly, and finally, he'd had enough. With me by his side, he exercised his option to have the oxygen stopped, and simply be pumped full of morphine to reduce the discomfort as much as possible and to help slow himself down until he died. I thought he made a wise and reasonable decision. Morsy: The notion of suicide is a complex one and I agree with Sits...... If there were a god/gods I would imagine they/he/she would be forgiving too many interpretations of the act to say otherwise, that bit is for the original question of this thread. StuckInTheSixties: I completely reject the notion that it's a "sin" to commit suicide. It's certainly selfish if you just kill yourself because you don't like the way you're living, or something like that, and it's tragic if it's a person that's simply mentally sick and kills themself for some irrational, deranged reason. But ultimately, I think that individuals should have the right to determine their own destiny that way if they wish, and I think that individual freedom far outweighs any "responsibility" an individual has to preserve his/her life for the sake of others. And I'm personally offended when suicide is condemned on the basis of religion.  ajb911: wrong poker man suicide can be forgiven no where in the bible does it state suicide is an unforgivable sin | Philosophy Chat Room 11 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
