    Then why do they want medical treatment, when their injuries bring them closer to their end goal: heaven?

      There are a few religions that refuse forms of medical treatment. I agree with what you’re saying, but it isn’t unheard of

      Something something suicide leads to hell.

      Better question is why wouldn’t parents immediately sacrifice their newborns on the Blood Altar? I can only go to hell once but I could sire many children and give them all a guaranteed ticket to heaven. Actually, I could even take a shortcut and blow up a maternity.

      … now that I think abkjt it, I guess some fundamentalist lunatics have probably already done it, and now I’m sad.
