Typical atheist libertarian thinking. Once a great nation — her people and their elected representatives — abandons God and His most precious gift — human life — all bets are off.
Suicide is not painless. It wreaks a great toll on society. As Western Europe shows us, suicide is the utmost slippery slope. Temporarily depressed or ill people are committing suicide right and left in Europe. The old and the feeble feel even more worthless and despise, afraid to set foot into hospitals lest cost-conscious doctors “help” them commit suicide.
Just like abortion, assisted suicide is yet another anti-God, anti-life platform of the atheist libertine libertarian. Suicide of not just dope-heads and lonely secularists seeking the easy way out, it is the suicide of a nation.
“Typical atheist libertarian thinking”
No, I’m a Christian conservative, just a realist. What are you gonna do if someone commits suicide? Throw their body in jail?
Maybe if you go back and read my comment you will note I didn’t say anything about “assisted suicide”. That’s just murder, and it should be illegal. However, suicide? It’s morally wrong, but plain silly for the government to treat as a criminal matter.
