What else can I say to someone who can’t discern the difference between lovingly sacrificing one’s own life on behalf of others, should God require it, and selfishly playing God and murdering oneself?

I did not say I couldn’t discern between the two; what I DID say is that the definition {either the functional one I was using or the dictionary’s} of ‘suicide’ does not differentiate between the two.

Furthermore, who are you to judge the heart of a man? Is that not God’s prevue?
Besides which you propose nothing to differentiate between the two in your proposed law.
