Most of them said they would.
Only crazy people would kill themselves because of a voice that's probably all in the mind

Only someone who understands faith in a relationship can understand these things.
Psychologists and marriage counselors have a test for partnerships = having one stand behind the other, and the one in front closing their eyes and falling backwards. This is to teach trust, and trust is the result of faith, and faith and trust are the result of history.
God was with Adam in the Garden of Eden.
God was with Noah in the flood.
God was with Abrahm in Ur of the Chaldees.
God was with Meshak, Shadrak, and Abednego in the fiery furnace.
God was with Daniel in the Lion's den.
God was with Joseph in Egypt.
God was with Moses in the wilderness.
God was with Gideon in battle.
God was with David against Goliath.
God was with Paul and Silas in prison.
God was with John in exile at Patmos.
Only crazy people would think that having faith in a well grounded relationship with a faithful God is suicide. God is a deliverer, not a killer. If He tells you to jump off of a bridge, it is most likely a better idea than staying there.

This is far too broad generalization. Actually, many people do not commit suicide because they are 'crazy' (actually the correct referrence is 'people with mental illness') Nor do they do it because they hear a voice in their head. In general, a person who commits suicide because they are feeling overwhelming emotional/psychological pain. They feel the only way to stop the pain is suicide. This doesn't equate to being 'crazy'. While some people with mental illness commit suicide, not all people who commit suicide are crazy. The correct term for a person who hears voices is schizophrenia. However, once again, there is no overwhelming evidence that all people with that mental illness commit suicide. You can learn more about mental illness by going to a web page from NAMI-the National Alliance for Mental illness.

You in my mind have no credibility.

Christians Simply have more faith in their God then you do in yours.
Bidden or not bidden. God is present.
God Bless You.

You said probably all in the mind. They must have you convinced too.

Because christians advocate blind faith in their god and blind denial in anything that contends with their belief. They never leave room for their own error.

Believers live in delusional fantasy world divorced from reality so don't be surprised at how wacko some of them are.

Those who know Christ would recognize it is NOT God's voice..
Muslims would not.
Jesus said: " My sheep hear my voice,...and they follow me".
