I want to know...

For my own reasons..

1) Is it a sin to commit suicide?

I read in the bible that a man commited suicide and was sent to hell even though he followed God.

2)WTF is up with the commandments?

In the bible every other guy has 50 something mistresses and like 3 wives. Ex :King David, King Saul, Joesphs father... When the commandments say not to commit adultery.

3)What are your veiws on that if you go to catholic school and you're not catholic the the teachers there FORCE you to learn Catholic teachings.

(Going from experiance I personally hate #3.)

Unsure. I heard it was. But it's NEVER a good thing if that's what you mean.

I know that's hilarious.

If you are taking a religion class, then yes, for your grade you should learn what they are teaching.

However, if they insist that you BELEIVE in it, and you refuse, and then then they try to FORCE you to beleive it, then they are wrong.

The OT and NT contradict, which is why many churches today are called New Testament churches.........Otherwise, what's wrong with having Mistresses?............And yes, I believe suicide is not a good thing..

The problem of commiting adultery is not universally a religious issue.

it is a matter of hurting the person who loves you, hurting the person who you have been committed to.

It's a belief system, look at the Mormons....

I don;t know if suicide is a sin in many religions...I doubt it is looked kindly upon. If nothing else, its a sin to yourself. Its disrespectful of your value as a human being.

2. Religion is hypocritical.

3. Since the Catholic school is private, and you "choose" to enroll there, They can make you do whatever they want. Its not right, but its legal.

1. I believe in reincarnation, so if I committed suicide, I would end up right back here having to deal with the same old problems.

2. IMO hurting people is the big sin, so having sex with mutable partners, as long as no one gets hurt, is ok.

3. If they give you a better education and you can stand it, just smile and be glad they cannot read your mind.

1. According to the catholic and protestant church , Thou shall not commit murder
2. Yeah, people don't keep the 4th and say they follow gods word
3. It's called indoctrination and conditioning.

I just want to know because my school is basicly forcing Catholic teachings down our throats. I was wondering if it's allowed or what. The whole suicide thing I heard from a nun in the first grade and it's been on my mind. But other than that... you guys basicly answered my questions. Except the whole suicide thing.

Why do you think no one answered that? 😕

Well taking a life, even your own is a waste....though I don't believe it's a sin..........But if shaky is right, you'll have to live your tragic life all over again, until you learn your lesson.........soooo better suck it up now....

You don't need religion to know suicide is not a good option on any front.

As far as any religion goes, suicide has bad conotations and associations. Its a sin in every religion, on some form of the other, especially those which follow 'sole creator'.

There are contradictions in the bible. From begining till the end.

Why are you in a catholic school if you're not catholic, then b!tch how you have to learn about their doctorine? You ARE in catholic school, and if you don't wanna know about Catholisism, go to a secular public school.
Simple.

If you were in Islamic school then youd have to learn all about Islam. Its pretty logical.

1. No. Suicide is an act of desperation and despair. It doesn't need to be embelished as "sin."
2. The commandments likely offer sound guidelines for a compassionate and productive society. Too bad they are often abused or ignored.
3. I wouldn't like it. Forcing doctrine, regardless of context, is generally not how you nurture on open, fair and curious mind.

No one like having docrine forced on them, but you go to a Catholic school. A PRIVATE institution. You should expect this and you can't do anything about it.

Why should you be even considering doing anything about it? Coming into a Catholic school is a concious decision - i dont understand this ''they are forcing me to learn about their religion, but I made a concous decision to attend religious school'' (???)

What happened to ''respect other people's religion''?

Or does that only applies to Muslims and Jews - Christians are ok to disrespect cos everyones few on religion here is grossly ethnocentric?

We had this Indian kid at school who was forced to adopt a christian name in order to be eligible for learning. Thing is he was forced by his parents to go to the best school rather that join a state school.
