Food for thought...
I may have brought this up before, but it was a discussion I had with some coworkers about our beliefs. Do you think people who commit suicide are going to hell? Or are committing some spiritual sin that will effect them after life?
I saw it like this...
People die of cancers, AIDS, diabetes, and other diseases etc etc every day. I've never heard a single person say "oh they've got cancer, they're going to hell". So I don't understand the concept of a person taking their own life meaning they're going to eternally burn for it. Doesn't anyone else see that people that are brought to that usually have some sort of mental problem...depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia? Wouldn't that classify them as dying from a disease also?
