If proven true would it increase or decrease suicides?

I feel like religions that are based around reincarnation are proof that they wouldn’t. Religion is all about faith > proof, so people that are believers in religions that support reincarnation essentially “have proof” of reincarnation. But bhuddists aren’t killing themselves more or less than any population group.

Christianity is similar in that you go to heaven, yet Christians also aren’t killing themselves in vast quantities to go to heaven. Though I guess they just wait for the rapture so.

End of the day if I knew for a fact reincarnation was real, it probably wouldn’t change much. Why would you end your life just to start another? Would just be very...pointless.

Modern theologians like NT Wright have been pushing back on the popularized “Heaven” idea. The final state in Christianity IS reincarnation. “Glorified” resurrected bodies on a “New Earth”.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

Hopefully they can fix the reincarnation cache by then.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Yep, I think most people would be thinking about suicide and then realize that they might lose all their stuff.

Problem is life 2 puts you on a new set of quests, major stat inflation, and your old gear is like taking korthos sets into legendary Ravenloft.

If you lose your cache, then suicide is pantless.

But I can take or leave it if I please.
