Your a real nice poster Id tell you where to go but I don't want to get the boot
You completely misunderstood what I meant. My point is how traumatic thoughts must have been for the people who had to do this. In no way, shape or form am I saying that they wouldn’t go to heaven... if you read my one line hoping/praying that they jumped and then they were in heaven and never felt any sort of pain.
I apologize if I wasn’t clear. My point was completely misunderstood by you and I hope no other FR misunderstands it as well. I am certain that thoughts of all sorts must have swirled in their minds before they jumped and that was agonizing.
I do not believe that mom mean’t anything derogatory by her question.
“Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, “to kill oneself”) is the act of an organism intentionally causing its own death. “
These people did not intentionally cause their own deaths. They chose (in some cases) the lesser of two evils. They were in that “fight or flight” moment (absolutely no sick pun intended).
My religion says suicide is wrong. I think in these cases, God would not count them as suicides, but rather as very brave people..heroes. They were, as the article says, homicide victims.
kinda lovely poster yourself there, al baby. The entire tenor of that post was kind, loving and thoughtful. Too bad it interfered with what YOU think is right.
There are people, practicing orthodox Catholics particularly, who believe that suicide under any circumstances is ‘suicide.’ In the face of the burning inferno, some chose to jump from 90 or more stories up. Someone of that very strong conviction might have thought that jumping, even under those circumstances, was ‘suicide,’ and could theoretically not go to heaven. It’s not an unreasonable or unkind thought for an orthodox Catholic to have.
Such acts are not a sin in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church.
