It makes sense to me.<p>A religious person in pain without hope looks at suicide as an option and thinks, &quot;I&#x27;ve got it bad now, but it&#x27;s only going to get worse if I do this...&quot;<p>Whereas a non-religious person is thinking, &quot;I&#x27;ve got it bad now, but if I do this I won&#x27;t have to feel anything ever again&quot;
