>If, as you say, the end of temporal existence is nothingness, then suicide would be a
good choice for a lot of people who are living in misery.<

And if the end of temporal existence isn't nothingness, does that change? (Only if you accept the doctrine that suicide is penalized in the hereafter.) (Which is to me a very curious doctrine, and the cynic in me suspects that the priests made it up in order to enforce subscription.)

Btw it isn't as I SAY, it is as I believe. That is different from saying, which has a teaching/persuading component imo. I don't require anyone else to believe as I do.
...Come to think of it, the concept of evangelical nihilism is humorous.
