Hindus and Buddhists would be dying left and right. Wait, actually, we (Hindus) do believe that if your life’s ruined beyond saving, then ending it so your soul can go back to the universe/come back in a better form is a sensible thing to do. At least, we have legends and stories to that effect.
Heck, the Bhagvat Geeta has God saying that killing others or getting killed is not something to be afraid of, since the essence of a being can never be created nor destroyed.

I think this is why the Catholic Church declared suicide a sin, to keep people from killing themselves to get to heaven
They promised this superduper ultra happy afterlife.
If it were not a sin offing yourself as a would be a no brainer.
the first religious leader coming up with the idea, watching all his followers off themselves: “well, should have seen that one coming”
Wait till Rocko’s basillisk comes online, and we will see about that.
Ugh. Pascal’s Wager for technophiles.
