I don't have a religion. Is that the same as not having a faith? My lit class was discussing The Road by Cormac McCarthy and we're talkin about what we would do in a post apocalyptic world. A lot of people said they would try to survive but I don't see a point in trying to survive if there's really nothing left in the world. I really think I would just off myself. Its not the first time thought that either. When watching movies and stuff about the end of the world or some bad happening i always say i would rather die. Does that speak to my faith or lack thereof? Does my lack of religion connect to a lack of hope? Or are my classmates just disillusioned by their religion. They kept saying they wouldn't kill themselves because they'd go to a better place, but I don't think heaven is real so there would be no point in waiting. Who's right? Im looking at the situation realistically. There's literally nothing. No food no hope. Why put yourself through that? Its just unnecessary. Im wondering if this mindset speaks to my psyche or my lack of religion. Is there something wrong with me that makes me not want to try or am i
I right in not wanting to put myself through that? I got no clue.
