This type of brainwashing is NOT a good thing, even if it does decrease suicides. It makes God seem like an evil tyrant, when in reality He is a being of love and forgiveness and mercy. [/quote] we should look at it from right perspective. if you are thinking of suicide, you are already not thinking god is forgiveness mercy etc etc... you are thinking things are evil if things are evil there is an evil god. so it requires an arguement. that beings with.."why" mostly. which is a rather naive trying to understand, willing to cooperate start that then later evolves to fuck yous and then all the way back and forth over and over.actually you can compelete these cycles between sundays and come to church smiling. [/quote] You can think of suicide and still love God. I do all the time. I love God, but this is Satan's world, and I hate this place. I can't wait to leave, but I won't ever commit suicide, because I don't want God to think I'm a pussy or a quitter. [/quote] you dont commit suicide because it isnt norm. religions forbid it and governments supported it being forbidden. also it empowers you that it is forbidden. for a reason of arguement. [/quote] I don't give a shit about whether or not society, religion, and governments are accepting of suicide. I don't care about any social norms. The reason why I won't kill myself is because I know that God didn't put me here just so that I could commit suicide. [/quote]
Original Message
"Against a grim backdrop of rising suicide rates among American women, new research has revealed a blinding shaft of light: One group of women — practicing Catholics — appears to have bucked the national trend toward despair and self-harm.
Compared with women who never participated in religious services, women who attended any religious service once a week or more were five times less likely to commit suicide between 1996 and 2010, says a study published Wednesday by JAMA Psychiatry."
