We're talking about suicide, not murder.
Taking someone else's life is to commit a criminal offence whichever way you look at it.
Im going to assume you are a highly intelligent person.
mo·ral·i·ty/məˈralətē/Noun: 1.Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.
2.Behavior as it is affected by the observation of these principles
Self preservation is part of an organisms's instinct that demands that the organism survives. Pain and fear are parts of this mechanism. Pain causes discomfort so that the organism is inclined to stop the pain. Fear causes the organism to seek safety and may cause a release of adrenaline which has the effect of increased strength and heightened senses such as hearing, smell, and sight.
"Among all things the conscious mind fears the unknown, and death endures as the greatest unknown of all."
This is why you get suicide theads, we are all atheist. Do you really fear death if you know there is nothing afterwards? Are there plenty of painless way's to kill yourself? Yes it is a criminal offense but murder is neither immoral or moral. It's just what is or what isn't and being an atheist you realize you morality is also insifnificant. Because it doesn't really matter who dies or who doesn't or who killed who. Once you're dead, there is nothing afterwards. Morality is insignificant, there is no bad or good side just what is. Even in the bible god acts as if morality doesn't matter and slaughters millions and forces people to endure eternal suffering for the actions he created them to do.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
