Monotheists, why does God expect people to continue to live when their only possible comfort is death?
@Someone Who Cares
Very good point!
My attempt at a counter argument is this:
Should a person be obligated to suffer for the sake of the others?

If someone is a monotheist they most likely believe in an afterlife.
Where you are put in the afterlife (good place or bad place) depends on your actions on Earth.
So, you need to lead a good life to get to a good place in the Afterlife.
The Christian God has stated that suicide is a sin and if you commit it with full will and no repentance you are going to Hell.
So...
If you are gonna die, do you want it to be a terrible place or a good place?
It depends on the way you live your life.

Say wuh? Did any of the Jews or Christians get this cause I haven't heard that in the Qur'an or from the people in the Mosque. I think this question is for the Jews and Christians, cause I'm blank. But if your referring to the afterlife then: This is because God gave us a chance to perform deeds, which will shape are life in the hereafter. More bad deeds= Hell, more good deeds= Heaven.

A montheist God needs stability. A Yin to his Yang. the concept of God shouldn't in any respect be restricted to an straightforward version of reliable vs. evil that a kindergartner would comprehend. Deeper philosophy on the region makes the prospect of reliable vs. evil no longer in basic terms comprehensible, yet necessary. God made guy in his image, did he no longer? can we no longer stability our own reliable vs. evil internally and commonly? even as God is all reliable, honestly there must be a "rigidity" to contradict it. If there wasn't then we would all be living contained in the Earthly Paradise that the JW's promise. yet that isn't what got here about, is it? As unlikely because the speaking snake contained in the backyard of Eden tale is, it really is what human beings had on the time to describe why there is evil contained in the international. and there is honestly EVIL contained in the international. Even atheists can admit that a lot. You ask about why he's no longer a competent father? i visit attest to this a lot: a father that in basic terms shelters and not in any respect enable his toddlers to adventure existence or make selections; is a poorer father than the single which shelters and controls. would all of us be happier ignorant and sheltered from sin? i'm no longer truly functional.

Who said people as a whole think this way? The Lord Jesus Christ, doesn't expect us to live in this discomfortable matter you described until death. These verses are good examples. Very good question. Your concept of God, is not based on what the Bible says. Discomfort, is the Lord's way of drawing you to Himself. The void you feel in life is God given, and can only be fill fully, with the Lord Jesus Christ. Everybody does more and more things to feel that void, but they can't. That's on purpose. It is a SPIRITUAL void that He desires to fill.

Perhaps because is it not all about them, perhaps there are others who want them around or are able to serve because of them. Or perhaps they have something else to learn before death. Life is not all about comfort, sometimes it is about learning things such as compassion, understanding, love, even in the middle of suffering.
