Okay, so this is just a question for the religious people here. I've seen various people (not talking about ATRL) stating that suicide is a sin and that the person is going to hell. I'm personally not religious and I find this kind of disgusting. In your religion is it a sin? What are your personal beliefs? To the non-religious people what do you think about this?
I am not meaning to cause any offense here as I know it is a sensitive issue, I was just wanting to get a little more insight into it and have things explained from a different perspective. Thanks.

I'm not religious but I don't see the problem with sinning. If you sin then all you have to do is go to church and everything will be better.

Well, I guess you can't just go to church after you die...

I'm not religious so no, but people shouldn't do that anyways! It gets better, trust me! If anybody needs help, just send me a message, I was very suicidal before and thankfully I didn't killed myself so I am here alive here being stronger than ever!

According to the Bible, yes it is. Being gay is also a sin.

Not with this avi
---------------
And yes, as you said the Christian dogma says commiting suicide is a sin and that you go to hell if you do it.
It's not like it's up to opinion, tho.

There's no much to explain tbh. If you're Christian, then yes it is a sin.
If you're not Christian, It's not a sin. My point is it depends on your religion.

I'm not religious. It's stupid how it's a sin in the bible, when like 90% of suicide is because of depression which doesn't go away easily

Of course! Suicide is showing lack of faith and a grave disrespect for God's work.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (Corinthians 3:17)
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (Corinthians 6:19-20)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (Corinthians 10:31)

I'm guessing you believe depression is one's own fault then.
