Same reason I'm not afraid of big foot, Loch Ness monster, yetis or the boogeyman... They don't exist.Should you be afraid of Hell?

Wait, what? How come Hell prevents suicide? "Oh, this is a crappy place, but where I'm headed, mud lakes and demons galore!"
Hell is a spiritual reality. It becomes accessible after 70-80 years of your average life. You cannot examine it and cannot collect evidence against the existence of the spiritual thing. You can only choose to believe in it, or choose to believe in absence of it.
There is nothing you cant question. You can even question the meaning of your existence and commit suicide which is an evidence for something. You are simply not just piece in mashinery of nature becouse you can brake its laws...Even better reason to say its existence is questionable. If you can't show evidence for something, quit running around saying 'If you don't believe, your doomed'.
There is no spirit or hell... show me the evidence.

Philosophers are people who constantly question things and then make it complicated for everyone else.
I guess.
Its the nature of mind to question everything even its own conclusion and existence which leads to self-destruction. I agree its great to think for yourself but on its own itsnt sufficient. It cant offer you but temporary solutions no permanent satisfaction.That is the great thing about thinking for yourself. I don't have to question my existence... that is not a evidence for anything. I am me... no more no less.
It seems awfully arrogant to dismiss another person's statement that he knows who he is.Its the nature of mind to question everything even its own conclusion and existence which leads to self-destruction.

And you have already discovered who you are? Incredible.
Thoughts about Hell saved more depressed people from suicide than all the prevention hotlines combined. It is sad how people use Problem of Evil to remove God from the picture. Which simply makes things even more depressing, for now we still have evil without even a hope of justice somewhere.

He claimed self-knowledge and that he doesnt have to question who he is. He even claims to know his limits.But Mr Monkey was saying that he has simply no reason to doubt his existence. And I agree with him.
He wasn't saying he knows who he is, beyond the fact that he is himself. I can't see anything to argue about.

Here is what he said, again:
I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation.
Well, who should know his limits better than he does himself?He claimed self-knowledge and that he doesnt have to question who he is. He even claims to know his limits.
