That is what religion does. It is one thing if you are in medical decline that cannot be reversed. But killing yourself for having downs in life because you think there is a magic candy land after you die, is just horrible logic and ends your life needlessly.
I hate that my mom died, but she is nowhere now, just like she was nowhere 4 billion years ago. But she had a better reason to let go because she simply didn't want to go through more pain because of her health decline. The only good part of her death is that she is no longer in pain, but I will not meet her or anyone when I die either.
I have bad days and suffer from depression, but no, I am not going to kill myself because of that. Not that I don't have those thoughts, it simply seems logically stupid knowing you don't stay emotionally down forever.
