Perhaps, indeed. However, I think it gives us, as you can empirically see, good grounds to debate suicide and to debate, well, whether there is some opportunism going on here. I am not one for covering up mistakes etc. I don;t think I was opportunistic inasmuch as I was thinking, though maybe did not elucidate it here in the OP, that perhaps the delusion of heaven\/hell etc has a genuine aspect of bribery to it that it prevents more suicides than it promotes? So, what worldview is more prevalent with suicide?]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a sad story showing the dangers of a misguided belief system.
