Q

If Christians believe in Heaven(that they get to go after death) why they are afraid of death and suicide?

hey, /b/.

Not programming related.

Because you don't get to go to heaven if you commit suicide. As far as regular death goes- No christian would go to heaven except for a small loophole in the bible that says if they repent for their sins they get 1 free pass. You can't repent the day before you die if you don't know you are going to die tomorrow.

So you repent today and next day you die in arranged assassination. There, you get to heaven.

At which point have you committed murder?
1. When you plan the murder.
2. When the murder is carried out.

2. When the murder is carried out.

Christians hate suicide because it's seen as ingratitude towards God for the gift of life, and death in general because they're dumbshit hypocrites.

That's why you don't give your assassin a safeword. Blameless suicide.

>>9
if you don't use the safeword then you can be blamed for not using it.
duh

>>10
That's why you repent after giving the order but before it's carried out. Are you even paying attention?

I choose sex.

now you will go to hell

and have two problems

Actually, everyone goes to heaven because of God's infinite mercy. He wouldn't be God if His mercy were bounded so as not to allow forgiveness even for the unrepented sinners, right?

But then it gets really weird: you are not guaranteed to receive his Mercy. Because if you were, it wouldn't be mercy anymore. You sure would, but you can't know for sure.

This fascinates me to no end with its similarity to some deepest problems in Math. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unexpected_hanging_paradox. Pay special attention to the remark: It would be true even if the judge said: "You will unexpectedly be hanged today". For some reason Wikipedia doesn't elaborate further, yet I believe that this is crucial for understanding the paradox.
