A friend of mine hung himself about a year ago. It sucks, but it was his choice. Some people talk about suicide as if it is this huge "no-no" and that you should never speak of it. In Norwegian newspapers, we have "death notices", where people can let the community know when someone dies, with information about the funeral etc. And when someone has committed suicide, they never write that, they write things like "left us" and stuff. This just shows how "embarrassing" (tp?) it is for the society when someone suicides. Kinda sad. For some people, suicide is the best option. If you are so tired of life and feel that it's not for you, I see no reason why you should not have the choice to end your life. The only problem is that you might just have one chance, but that's a risk you'll have to take. And to be honest, Yow's opinion about our body belonging to God, is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard... |

I personally feel that anything above dead better, so I do not endorse suicide. However, I probably shouldn't be talking, as I've never really been in a situation where I deliberately hurt myself, so I don't know what it's like. |

OK this is what I think about suicide: In some, terminal cases, where you will only feel pain, I would gladly shoot myself. If your life is miserable but you have cash/family etc, then it is ridiculous. Ask for help (that doesn't really help much) but, seriously, even if I was raped, my wife hung up, my children died....but I guess I just can't imagine it? |

I think the only question with suicide is can your life get the point where things are bad, nothing would be better than still living? I mean, even if you are a Christian, suicide = hell. Like you said Master, easy for me to say when I've never been through anything like that though. It's funny humans are the only species who can become depressive enough to kill themselves... You get one life. Granted, everyone at some point thought something along the lines of things would be better if he wasn't there, but people need to see past these thoughts. |

I don't think people that commit suicide go to hell. I just think there's better stuff to do than kill yourself |

If you come to a point in life where you take no pleasure in living, then you might as well die. There is no point in staying alive simply for the sake of being alive. |

@Master, it says so in the Bible @Eirik, I think the question is will the person always feel that way. I mean, some people naturally blow things out of proportion. They should be able to seek counseling rather than ending their life. |

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-dml/dml-y038.html Both of them... it's actually more of an unclear subject now that I look into it. My CCD teacher wasn't exactly right there. |

Lol the solutions proposed by their interpretation of the Bible are truly ridiculous. Everybody who interpretates the Bible literally clearly shows lack of understanding its true meaning. |

I disagree with their interpretation since it does not explicitly mention it. But to be frankly honest, why shouldn't it be taken literally? Should we take a history book and try to interpret the hidden meaning behind the author's depiction of historical events or just accept it for what it is? |

My Religion teacher said that the writers of the Bible only had the knowledge of 2000+ years ago (the Bible isn't "God's Word" it's "God's Word in Man's Word") and even Jesus sometimes acted in a today gray moral area. Just because the bible says pi is 3 it doesn't mean Christianity is stupid |

I agree with Eddie. I always found the Bible to be an amusing book. I honestly can't believe why somebody would actually follow the rules that are mentioned, just because a book tells them to. And yes, Christianity is stupid. Christianity goes against pretty much everything that the human mind and brain tells us is true. "If God created the universe, who created God? You say; God has always been. I say; why not save yourself the step and say, the universe has always been." Carl Sagan said something like that. The whole idea that God exists is just ridiculous. I consider myself a fairly intelligent person and I don't need to explain complex problems with saying that "God made it". Those who believe in God are those who do not have enough knowledge to realize that he doesn't. |
