    I can’t speak for all religions, but in Christianity suicide is a grave sin, so doing that guarantees eternal damnation.

    The other bit, people not being happy about a loved one passing, is not really an issue too - it’s just the “logic of faith” vs “emotions of loss”. Even if we knew for a fact that once you die you get reincarnated into a Happy Bunny, people would still grieve, because that’s how our brain chemistry works.

      Things explainable with doctrine are explained with doctrine. Things that defy doctrinal explanation are biological or “just because.”

      Don’t worry, Chief, I don’t even expect logic from religion, so don’t try.
