Historically, how has suicide been dealt with across the globe? Were people ever supportive in generations past?

pretty much every non-abrahamic society has been supportive of it, it's seen as poetic and romantic
Name five.
japs, chinks, aztecs, romans, norse
>permanent solution to tempirary problem
>encouraged by five different cultures
this is why we need abrahamism.

Lol also I read an anti-suicide book where the author had a subsection titled “They Won’t Love You When Your Gone Either”
>This one young boy threatened to kill himself if his mom moved out and left his dad. She told him he’d better do it and quit threatening it. Actually does it. She moved out the week after his death anyways
Absolute lol that the author thought this would convince anyone not to do it. That was one of the most blackpilled things I’ve ever read.
Those were honor bound societies who considered the life of a dishonored person as not worth living
Abrahamism encourages passive suicidal ideation. After all, the longer you live, the higher the risk of sinning and eternal damnation.
>romans liked suicide
The frick?
Yeah, there’s plenty of instances of Romans committing suicide as a stoic duty or something like that. Look it up.
Yeah, they thought it was a noble way to die. Better to have a nice day than give your enemy the pleasure of killing you.
Read Marcus Aurelius, they weren't supportive but they saw it as natural.
I don't think the Aztecs were into suicide, unless you count letting themselves be sacrificed by their enemies if they got captured since they believed it got them to the best afterlife
>ywn eat Mrs. Doubtfire's shit
Why live?]
>you have to go through a death by Parkinson's because GOD LOVES YOU OKAY?
Yes?? What about that is unclear?
The part where God wants people to suffer needlessly?
Fond me one bible verse saying suicide is an unforgivable sin.
>inb4 Corinthians 3:17
Out of context. He’s speaking about the body of Christ
The part where Jesus says its better cut off your own hand than to risk sinning with it?
Not him, but don't see how this proves your point. You're still presupposing suicide's a sin, not providing evidence that it is
Sorry, I was mostly trolling by providing an argument For suicide instead.
To be honest, I have no idea how Christians reconcile that part with being against suicide. Well other than the obvious fact that anyone who interprets that as an argument to suicide obviously wont stick around too long to make his case.
Suicide is the ultimate freedom to choose and should be accepted, UNLESS the suiciding person has dependents, in which case they should arrange for the care and wellbeing of their dependents before dying.
If they cannot do so, then they are responsible to go on living, and caring & providing for their dependents.
