Question

a lot of people say that suicide is a sin. but I'm not sure if doing this is consider a sin. So if Is going into the army to get yourself killed a sin?

Answer 1

That is not the answer to unhappiness. If you have a death wish  and you enter the military, not only are you putting yourself into danger and harm's way, you are also putting your comrades into danger also. You need to talk to someone for some good guidance. If you can't afford counseling, clergymen and M.H.M.R. (Mental Health Mental Retardation) are good resources.

Answer 2

I hate to break this to you, but going into the Army isn't a guaranteed way to get yourself killed.  In fact, if they realize you are intentionally endangering yourself, they will pull you out and send you to the hospital in the rear.  Consider that not only would you be a danger to your own life, but you would be a danger to others.  And while you might not consider suicide a sin- how do you feel about murder?  Because that's what you are suggesting as well, and that is a sin for most folks.  If you seriously hate your current life, changing it for the better is a good thing to do.  Then you have no reason to hate it anymore, and suicide becomes a non-issue.  I don't advocate suicide, but I honestly have little use for somebody who would willingly endanger others to do it.  Being a soldier is an honorable profession, being a coward is not, and being callous enough to endanger your comrades is pretty low.  Join the army to make something of yourself if you like, that's a good idea.  Doing it to kill yourself won't work out like you plan.

Answer 4

no because your joining the army for all the wrong reasons and your not helping the countries at all, your like helping our opponent in winning. why do you want to take away your life its perfectly okay im sure and your just focusing on the bad in life. if everyone focused on the bad in life we would all be dead. things will look up just give it time because everyone goes through rough patches in life.

Answer 5

No, but remember, military men rarely die alone.  If you plan on doing something dangerous, you will most likely have men and women beside you.  Do not get them killed because you want to go.  If you want to go and volunteer for dangerous missions, then go.  But remember, everyone is brave, until faced with true danger.  There is no more truer danger than a war with an enemy.

Answer 6

  First:  If you hate your life then joining the army is not the answer.  It will only make you more miserable and trust me, you don't want that.  There's all kinds of work involved, like running and building muscles and other things to get you in shape.  If I were going to die I wouldn't want to go through that.

  Second:  If you go looking to die then you probably won't.  It's a simple fact of nature.  People don't die until it's their time and if it's not your time then you're just hurting yourself for nothing.  Another thing is the army teaches you survival skills.  So there's a chance you'll be out running around and you'll instinctively save yourself with something you've learned or just something naturally in you.

  Last of all:  I don't consider killing yourself a sin.  It's open to interpretation, but I really don't think it is as long as your hearts right with God.  I believe God is understanding.

honey, have you gone and talked to a doctor about the way you are feeling? you are so depressed, that the doctor can help you and give you some medicine to make all those negative feelings go away. you aren't in a position right now to make a rational decision. go to the doctor, get medication, possibly go for therapy, and once you start to feel a bit better, then make those decisions. i sure don't want to see you try to die when all your sad thoughts can probably be helped with some medication. give your doctor a chance to help you, please?
