He and your family will be in my prayers, but I strongly suggest you knock off any religious talk around him, demonic talk, and get him a good therapist who will handle the situation wisely. Religious pressure could be adding to his pain and is not going to help him in his state of mind.

I feel for you in your desperation for your brother. This is one of the most difficult things to go through with a family member.

knock off any religious talk

That's about the worst advice I ever heard.
Get to a priest or minister ASAP!!!
If he goes through with it he's going to wish it was lights out for all eternity.

I wanted to repeat what Aliska says, as she is right on.

Anyone who contemplates suicide is in a mental and emotional spiral, and is not making good decisions. He needs help with the stuff in his life, now.
