Why doesn't everyone just kill themselves?
Think about it. There are _literally_ no downsides.

>b-but I want to live
So? When you're dead, you won't even exist to feel sorry that you're dead, assuming there is no afterlife. More importantly, you also won't exist to suffer, which is what you do in life.
>b-but muh eternal damnation
Have you considered that a God that would damn you eternally for an action you undertook with your limited human knowledge in your limited human lifespan is probably not a benevolent God and does not deserve worship?
>b-but muh family and friends
So? They can kill themselves as well and be free of the suffering after having come to this very same conclusion.
