Especially the Hindus, I wish everyone else was that colourful. The Hindus win the style contest, for me, bless them.
Anyway, I didn't actually mean to go off on one. I've a few friends who are atheists in that... intolerant way and they're fine people, we just don't discuss religion.

you don't want to get me started on this!
as for christian views of suicide
"The 1997 Catechism of the Catholic Church indicates that suicide may not always be fully conscious – and thus not one-hundred-percent morally culpable: "Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide.""

or just the act of NOT running away from persecution and eventual death at the hands of religious intolerance could be counted as suicide. All shades of grey, innit.
Anyway, I'm off, having had my rant. Hugs to all.

I just choose to go with the odds where belief is concerned, since I'm a scientist, and believe that based on the evidence I have seen, that there is nothing more than this and that afterlifes and heavens are fabrications of the human psyche.
that, and I prefer to talk about sex with you.
