It depends.

Depends on what? If you don't believe in the God of the bible then you can decide for yourself I suppose, but if you decide wrong that God who you don't believe exists will have the final word on the subject. The reality or unreality of God is not something that depends on a person's belief or disbelief, so I hope you understand the consequences of choosing to believe the incorrect option. If my belief in the reality of God is incorrect it won't matter a whit when I die, but if your disbelief in the reality of God is incorrect it will be the only thing that will matter when you die.

About the same time when slavery was allowed?

Probably long before Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was published, but what does slavery have to do with the legality or illegality of suicide? Anyway, since reading post # 349 I see that your mind is no doubt closed airtight on the abortion issue, so I will just bid you a good evening and avoid more pointless verbal jousting.

Nice rehash of Pascal's viewpoint. Do you believe in a God who would punish good people for not being Christians?

Or anything else? I don't think you can cite archaic laws as something supporting your own assertions, since another person might just well cite the slavery laws for his own purposes.

Good day, Sir.
