You seem to be mixing three different concepts here. Firstly, you seem to assume I don't feel bad that the situation happened. This is false, as I've said twice that it's unfortunate the situation happened. Secondly, you seem to believe I said something about the girl going to hell or being privy to eternal damnation when, indeed, I mentioned no such thing. Third, and lastly, you seem to be under the impression that love = acceptance of personal choices when it doesn't.

There's a few people on this board who have been raped before (Even though I haven't seen one of them in a long, long time). Regardless of circumstances, suicide is
NEVER the answer. Suicide, for intent's and purpose's, is the 'easy' way out as it prevents the person from ever dealing with his/her situation. To sound dickish (Or like WK), she wasn't the first person to have ever been raped and she won't be the last. If she had problems dealing with the fact that she was raped, then she should have talked to someone. But blaming her suicide on the rapist is not only extremely short-sighted, but it ignores other factors and causes that led to her taking her own life.
