I so get you here snowy. I also think there is room for everyone to do do-overs, but that is another thread!

But for the sake of this thread, as analog has put forward "You commit suicide, you go to hell.", and therefore I am looking at it in that context. I believe that the intent is judged more so than the action, so when I look at suicide (not sacrifice ) all I can see is the basic intent being "Fuck you/this, I'm outta here!"

I can't shake that off. If it's as plain and simple as it's stated in the Bible, the intent behind suicide is a pretty big slap in the face for God. A total rejection. It doesn't matter what my personal philosophies are, I can not totally throw out this possibility. This is a possibility that I have to face.

As analog said; "The Black, White and Grey Areas"... and I find this bit with my brother covers all three of them!
