He is a Christian and he believes he has brought too much shame to his church, God, and his family to the point that less shame would be brought on God's kingdom if he simply "checked out".

First let me stress that I pray for Peace of mind to your Friend.

secondly, What sin could G-d possibly not forgive? What is "shame" exactly? embarrassment? guilt? broken Pride? I believe all of us have Tests so to say. I don't believe it possible that we are always suppose to "pass" tests, but more so figure how to deal with when we fail. Sometimes I believe people rely upon to much on their "religion" and doctrine instead of their personal walk with G-d. It matters not what any man say's or thinks but what's more the condition of ones heart and humbleness to G-d.

I say this, G-d does give us "free choice" it is up to us to walk sometimes the almost impossible road to take responsibility and face the consequences, to accept our wrong doings and with G-ds love and guidance to fix it. In my opinion I believe that suicide is the easy way out. There is no justification due to shame. G-d gave one the Gift of life, it is up to him when our time is up.

This being said, I do not believe that G-d will give us more then we can handle.
