Marx was right when he said: "religion is the opiate of the people." When people get high on pie in the sky, its easy to get them to do anything.

You allow someone to dominate you and take away all feelings of self worth and value. Nothing could be more inhumane than treating another human being in this fashion. When the Osamas of this world strap on their own suicide belts instead of brainwashing their followers, then and only then will the world be a better place.

If we knew why , maybe people would raise Cain when the preacher or whatever you wish to call him, including murderer, comes up with a hair brained idea to go to "heaven" by suicide, right now. People actually get brainwashed by these fruitcakes, and do themselves in... And we're supposed to follow this??????

I am Catholic, and we statistically have a lower rate of suicide because our faith has a family structure to it with the communion of saints. It's not like the Protestant idea of being just "me and Jesus". Catholics have a huge family that we are all a part of on earth as well as countless saints in Heaven who are our brothers and sisters and who actively intercede for us to God in Heaven.
By the way, there has been a recent trend among the youth in Asia of group suicide pacts.

A deep desperation to escape the fundamental meaninglessness and pain of living.
