All these religious idiots campaign so hard to prevent assisted suicide, but none of them are out there campaigning to stop the government starving us to death by stopping our benefits. Apparently a quick, painless death is against the will of the flying spaghetti monster, but a slow painful death is just fine,

gotta be categorically against suicide always and forever when your doctrine promises eternal paradise in the next life otherwise your adherents will just take the shortcut and then they won't pay tithes.

This was one of the reasons slave owners spread Christianity among their slaves. Slaves will continue to be slaves if they think the next life is worse. Otherwise, there'd be nothing to stop them from doing a hunger strike or worse.

They also forbidden selfcastration as cheat. Suffering is not only the point, but it have to be the correct kind of suffering.
