Muslims have so much faith in their god, that they are willing to kill themselves (and a bunch of us) to get closer to him and go to paradise.
So if heaven is such a wonderful place, and Xians really just want to spend eternity singing god's praises, why don't you have the faith to join him now?

Note, there is nothing in the bible that says taking your OWN life is a sin. If there is, please show me the reference.

You've given your OPINION that suicide is foolish and stupid....I asked for a biblical citation that says it is a sin, as I'm not aware of one. Other Xians have made the point that suicide is a sin.

That would require taking a life, and that is a sin.

We do,but in America everybody jumps the gun and starts crying "we're offended".Plus you have organizations such as the ACLU trying to drive out people of all religions,not just Christians.They even use federal tax dollars to fuel the fire.
As far as your last question.Suicide or any harm to yourself for that matter is foolish and selfish.If it were condoned in the Holy Bible,it would be a different story.Someone killing themselves proves and helps nothing,it doesn't matter which religion it is.
Common sense should tell anyone suicide is stupid.
By the way,suicide is not true martyrdom.

Suicide is the irreversible sin, my friend. Why would I want to take my life out of my Lord's hands and into my own, when he has much more for me to accomplish on this earth?
Muslims are taught to hate, and therefore they kill. I was taught to love, and therefore want to bring God's love to as many people as I can to allow them to feel the hand of God in their lives.

The God of the Christians emphasizes a life of love and obedience to the Spirit...murder and suicide is not a part of that picture. Faith has nothing to do with it.

Yes. Go to Heaven, Xtians, the sooner the better. You are not as devout as Muslims.
