If Life is Meaningless Anyway, then What's Wrong with Religion?

[Excited Penguin]

No one ever chooses to die because of that. That's ridiculous. They choose to die because they are unhappy and/or mentally challenged. In the future I suspect it will be far more unlikely for someone to wish to kill themselves because of those reasons.

 *Bold mine*

How could you possibly know something like that with such certainty though?  You can't be inside every person's head who's ever lived and died.  I worked in a nursing home (a lovely, bright, and lively nursing home.  Believe it or not, they do exist!) for two years.  There were plenty of generally healthy folk in their late 90's (and even early 100's) who were just...ready.  Content to be done.   Or, at least they said so, and why would anyone not believe them?

We can't believe them because it's impossible and it doesn't make any sense. They were done with living because of the ailments of old age, not because they were just simply tired of it all. Nothing is that simple. There are two possible reasons for one to want to end their life or simply welcome a possible end with open arms. I already mentioned both of them. It can be a bit of both or one more than the other, but there's no other possible reason.

Yes, people could get tired of living. I described why, that's all.
