With a belief in G_d suicide is not a viable option for most, without a belief in G_d suicide is an easy way out. Not to say that those that believe in G_d do not commit suicide, just saying that those that have this belief have less of a tendency to do so. IMHO

Take away hope and the will to live dies.

Obama and his followers take away hope by enslaving people to the state.

Who knows - maybe when everything journalists at the New York Times believe in becomes a joke to the rest of us, they’ll start killing themselves too. Then they’ll understand.

Last year, more active-duty U.S. soldiers killed themselves than died in combat; their suicide rate has been rising since 2004.

I'm fairly certain that, despite this statistic, the rate of military suicide is still lower than the rate of civilian suicide.

I had to tell the mother of a service member that her child died from an apparent self-inflicted injury. I will never forget her face as I told her.
