Committing suicide is not The Way and is against God's Law, for which you will find no rest, only punishment from God. I know these are the ravings of a lunatic (who in reality isn't that far from your average conservative Christian, just saying), but I'd just like to intervene. The Bible has no single conclusive view on suicide. Obviously, suicide is discouraged by the clergy, since offing yourself and/or not reproducing is antithetical to the propagation of a religion (a notable exception in encouraging procreation amongst Christians, are the Shakers). Seven people killed themselves in the Bible: Abimelech, Samson, Judas, King Saul and his servant, Ahithophel and Zimri. There is no conclusive verse that condemns suicide as an unforgivable sin, or leading to damnation. In fact, the Bible's attitudes on life... are less than stellar.
