obviously. being religious makes you less likely to kys though
also suicide is cultural and contagious, so when famous people end it they start trends of suicides and countries that never had suicides now have them because charismatic people did it and inspired others
Does being religious make you less likely to be suicidal or they just gaslight their suicidal followers by claiming they’ll burn in hell for eternity if they do it?

Gives you something to live for
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
I'm not only referring to Jesus at the last supper. The 30 pieces of silver is foretold in books of the old Testament too, Exodus (explains the price of a slave that era) and Zechariah. These were written before Jesus/the disciples lived
I get what you're saying, it was still Judas' choice. But how just is it to hold him fully accountable for choosing it when it resulted in Jesus dying for all of humanity's sins like God wanted and it was hinted towards by prophets (influenced by God/the Holy spirit when making the prophecies)
Hypothetically, could Judas have exercised his free will and decided to give the 30 pieces of silver back before actually betraying Jesus or kiss someone else on the cheek when the result was what God wanted to happen and it was prophecised by authors of the Old Testament?
I guess your thinking is Judas' actions determined the prophecies rather than the other way around. My thinking is how much say did Judas (or whoever would lead to Jesus being sacrificed) really have when God/Moses/Zechariah/Jesus indicated it would happen

Eh I think if they had to start telling ppl they’ll burn in hell for suicide that would mean religion in itself wasn’t enough for ppl to be living for lol

Sure but I’m Catholic and I don’t believe in Hell. Religion is luckily more complex than that

what I’m saying is, if Judas chose to say no, destiny would have fallen on one of the other disciples as the prophecy was inevitable
kind of like endgame where she said no matter what you do to fix the timeline, it always corrects itself
interesting question, if all your material needs were met as the standard it'd take a lot more at least

This doesnt make sense
capitalism needs to commit suicide
This doesnt make sense
It does you just need to read it slower perhaps lol.
Religious ppl still experience suicidal thoughts and want to attempt, hence why religion started telling them they’ll burn in hell eternally if they do it in order to combat that. It’s not necessarily that religion helps stop the idea of suicide for many (nor makes them happy/fulfilled), religion just makes them more scared to do it by implying there’s after-life consequences.
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
Ding ding ding
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
The gnostic view of Judas is the most interesting tbh
Art is a huge thing for me, it inspires me and keeps me feeling like life is interesting
Chatgpt ahh reply
i really believe most of the adults in the world who wanna die are just tired of living to work or have goals that they can’t reach because they don’t have the right financial resources
the only other reason i can come up with is maybe to get out of a life prison sentence. even things like grieving a loved one you can argue as people not being able to afford therapy or medication to address their emotions
no there’s a lot of other social isolation going ont
