thank you grok
A little bit, capitalism has caused massive improvements in living standards so people don’t have to worry about dying from other s*** like starvation. If you’re busy the whole day trying to survive you’re not gonna be thinking about suicide. There’s a big correlation in living standards and amount of suicides.
Jesus had to be sacrificed to fulfil the prophecy so Judas might have been hoed
Actually an interesting discussion for predestination vs free will. Like I think it was even prophecised in scriptures years before the disciples lived that the son of God would be betrayed by someone close to him, so how accountable can you really hold Judas? Like yeah the nigga did it, but it was also literally God's plan
Prophecy =\= deliberate choice
it could have been anyone and Judas, through his own decisions, determined it to be him
It'd be reduced about 70% I guarantee it
I think this is what the people cooking OP too hard are missing
why individual people do certain things is unknowable and impossible to predict, but through class struggle we can observe the trends. factory workers in bangledesh throwing themselves off balconies because of 12 hour shifts and slave wages is certainly an observable phenomenon and a result of modernity.

yes
Niggas happy to live longer only to die from cancer slowly
U gotta think what makes life worth living? Cus capitalism stripped a lot of that away and replaced it with materialism and classism
Prophecy =\= deliberate choice

But whoever that person was, would have done so to have the son of God killed, as God wanted and as prophets (influenced by God) predicted. Their choice was their own but how much choice do you really have when the creator of this entire universe and everything in it wanted the result to happen and even foretold that your (whether Judas or someone else) actions were the cause of it?
Also seen a theory that Judas was possessed by Satan and that's why he betrayed Jesus. You can argue that he was weak and that's what allowed him to be controlled by the devil/greed but it feels odd to hold someone fully accountable when the plan would not have occurred without their actions and there's supernatural spiritual forces like God/Satan at play
you assumed his life in order to get off a lame ass joke so idek what you tryna do
I’m not assuming anything, that is literally everyone’s reality assuming you don’t live in a base area in the Philippines
the reasons for suicide would be different. but i do also think there would be less suicide in general tho

because for the prophecy to be fulfilled, one of those close to him would have to fall victim to weakness but he never said who
so there was literally a 1/12 chance it could have been Judas
who out of his own deliberate choices that God did not make him choose, it led to the fulfillment of the prophecy
but this isn’t as important or comparable to the sacrifice that Jesus made, as this is what fulfills the ultimate prophecy. the prophecy leads to Jesus, it can’t be above

Bootlicking ass response to the topic and whoever liked
Its a good question, bcause i read somewhere that cavemen werent suicidal
I know youre just f***ing around but s*** they probably weren't so
capitalism has nothing to do with it.
judas offed himself for betraying Jesus, samurais committed seppuku. i mean there are wild animals that will end themselves it has nothing to do with business or money
he's the Goat Disciple when you really deep it
i said too much...
what he did was necessary without his betrayal the ultimate sacrifice would not have been made and prophecy would not be fulfilled HOWEVER Judas made the greatest mistake in thinking that he was beyond forgiveness. for the thief on Jesus’s right asked him for forgiveness Jesus told him he would be in paradise. all Judas had to do was ask for forgiveness and he would’ve been saved so sad to think about
Ngl I regularly engage with the mentally ill, disturbed and the resources for them are so f***ing bleak.
