The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

What are your motivations to keep going?

If there's an afterlife, then this will continue somewhere else and your life here doesn't matter.

If there isn't one, then I'll have peace and quiet.

The quality of the afterlife will differ for all. Beatific vision, or eternal suffering?

>If there isn't one, then I'll have peace and quiet.

No, if you're nonexistent you won't enjoy anything.

God, sometimes I want this to be true so bad. Just total nothingness, silence, peace. Lord have mercy on us.

I think suicide is too good to be true. If we accept materialism to be true then it would only make sense you'll just come out of the darkness over and over again until the universe dies(im being optimistic of universe dying). My life could be meaningless but i still dont want to leave a mess thst others would clean up.

Life is just bs. Im so desentesized by it that im not even depressed anymore.

I dont think the guarantee of peace and silent nothing is even possible because we came from nothing and look where we are. I used to think about this every moment of the day to cope.

Ill still try my best in this life not because its beautiful or anything but just because of pure pragmatism.

Oh and Pascals wager sounds promising because of the proof of resurrection.

1)It does. You choose what path to walk for eternity: Loving God, or Hating God, Towards God or Against God.

2)We wont leave material world for eternity. Resurrection of the dead is the thing. Then both righteous and wicked will arise "some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

According to Orthodox thought, this is literally diabolical. Please repent
