Fear of the unknown.\n\n*(*

People are people. Sometimes that means they need to convince themselves there's a reason they were lucky, or that they had some sort of aid to keep them going, or even that all the terrible things that happened in the 'hard times' happened for a reason ("they must have, the world couldn't be that cruel"). People have been using gods or stories about them to explain everything from the weather to lines of succession probably since before recorded history, it's not really surprising some people still need this sort of reinforcement now.

It's just my opinion, but we live in a world where the need for medical care outstrips the available resources.  If someone of sound mind has decided that they no longer wish to live, it only makes sense to help them.  Not only does this ease suffering, it also frees up valuable health care resources for people who want to keep living.\n\n** Big disclaimer ** This of course does not take into account any religious convictions that people may have.

I see that you are fearful of what people may say. I know how that's like " in school I had to pray for a friend right in front of the whole school and i did it. If you are christian and someone ask you to pray for him/her right  here  and there or a brother ask you to help him pray for a person that second go ahead because god is with you guys. what a honor to pray for someone who understand that they need god to help him/her. Also you lay hands on him/her. Don't misunderstand what I am saying just put a hand over his/her head and pray your heart. The Prayer can be about healing if they need it or about over all status.

Divine intervention happens every second all around us.  It's so common place that we forget to acknowledge God's presance and answered prayers.  \n\nAdditionaly, we often pray for stuf that is bad for us: I want to see my "Ex" lonly and cry forever or Can you extend the life of my 99 year old grandpa because I love him.  God's got his plan and it's God's will that will be done.  \n\nThe best prayers I have answered it when I ask to submit to God's plan and then wonderful stuff happens.  When I go against it, then I'm struggling, and bitter.

An interesting qustion.  I'm assuming that you are saying that people who have religion, are doing it to have some sort of hope?\n\nThis would be true.  Faith in God, and our lives lived in service to Him, make us participants in salvation.  Thus we live our lives with hope.  Hope for an end to our suffering, and to at long last live in peace with Him.  It is hope that enables us to endure this life and its struggles and difficulties.  \nIf your suggestion was to say that people turn to religion cause they don't have any hope...hope that they could get somewhere else...then the answer would be no.  Its not.

The Devil is not at his door, not anywhere except in your imagination, Abdul. He probably will not die, though definitely doesn't deserve to (no one does), but if he does, the reason is not because "God" wants him to (God doesn't exist), it is because he was hit by a car, had a heart attack, was killed, or many of the hundreds of other reasons that people die of. No one ever died because "God" wanted them to.

If someone kills in the name of God, they have been duped.  They fell victim to irrational thinking.  The god they serve is not God the creator (the giver of LIFE), but rather the god of death (Satin).  God promotes life. "Be fruitful and multiply."  God promises everlasting life, sent Jesus to overcome death.  Why would God go through all the trouble of creating life only to have others destroy it?  Makes no sense.

I think some people simply feel like they have reached the end of their rope and have no choice but to take their own lives. I do not believe God has left them, I think they are to depressed to realize his presence. He aches for each and every one of his children as they are tested and he hopes we all pass each test as that is what makes our faith stronger. But for those who do not pass it or who bow out of the competition, I think he takes into consideration your state of mind at the time and your overall existence while you were here. I do not believe he automatically sends that person to Hell. My daughter was 13 when her 14 year old boyfriend shot himself in the head. I believe God knows what pain that child was going through and would take him into Heaven and give him comfort from whatever it was that weighed so heavily on his thin young shoulders. I hope this helps some.

They are lost, and need to be saved.People act like they are going to live on earth forever. Its coming a time that everyone will die (unless) Jesus comes back first. There is a place called heaven, and a place called hell. Everyone will spend eternity in one of the two places. The devil has them blind, and fooled. I pray people will wake up, and be saved, while they still have a chance.

well if i knew that i was going to die today then i would be telling every one about what God did for me. i am not kidding. the fact is is that we don't know when it will be our last day on earth and so why aren't we more cautious about how we live our lives for all you know you could die right now. and there is like no way that you could stop sinning.

Ouch...it sounds like you have been having a really rough time.  The teens are hard, no doubt about it.  When my life crashed it came to a life and death situation, too.  I found that that is the time I was willing to call out to God for help.  I didn't leave it up to Him to help or not, it was an inner scream, "God, if you're really there, help me!" and He did. Ask Him...sometimes we are brought to these situations so that we WILL call on Him for help.  Some others think it's a crutch, but when you're desperate and only One can help it's not a crutch its a lifeline.  I'll keep you in prayer, too.

It is called the Communion of Saints.  And those that believe do not die, they live forever with Christ (remember The Gospel of St. John 3:16?)\n\nWe pray to a Saint (someone who has lived a Holy life for God) and ask them to pray for us and with us to Jesus for His intervention.\n\nPsalm 103, we pray, "Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!" (Ps. 103:20-21). And in Psalm 148 we pray, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host!" (Ps. 148:1-2)\n\nNot only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In Revelation, John sees that "the twenty-four elders [the leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints" (Rev. 5:8). Thus the saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth.\n\nLook at it this way?  Have you ever asked someone to pray for you?  It is the same thing, except we know that the Saints in Heaven are with God and see him.  Thus the prayers of the Saints are magnified when combined with our own.\n\nIt is also worth noting that a Saint has no power to do anything on his/her own.  Anything that happens because of the intervention of a Saint is done through the will and Power of God.

A ot of times the death was so sudden or tragic that they don't realize that they have died, since there is no such thing as time on the other side, they have no idea that sometimes hundreds of years have past, often reliveing the events of their death over and over, sometimes trying to resolve unfinished business, and sometimes an attachment to a place is so strong they choose to stay. they cannot hurt you,tho they are often very confused and upset, they need guidance to help them cross over.
