And if you think so, does he forgive people who lost faith in him and were never sure they believed in him in the first place?

It depends on the relationship what the person had with God. You do not have the right to take your own life or kill anyone else, but if you believe in God, He will save you even if you kill yourself. : )
PS: Take the word "you" in general meaning, like "one" : )

There is a saying that GOD never gives you more then you can bare..but on a daily basis some of us bare too much.
Catholicism teaches that it is a sin, but just in human nature sometimes God takes a while to answer a prayer, while we know he answers in his time, some people just can't wait.
Most people who are distraught for any reason need an immediate answer (understandable) when you are feeling broke down in every way mentally, physically and emotionally, to wait a second for answers seems like eternity.
Every one has a cross to bear and sometimes the weight it just too heavy, and you want to just lay down...why would GOD be upset if you are just tired.I think he would welcome you with open arms, because HE knew the struggles you would face from the day you were born. I am not an advocate for suicide as an answer..but it is a sign of a weak and tired mind.
Job was the biggest story in the bible, GOD took away everything from him yet, never once did he curse GOD, that is a testimony of faith...how many of us have that much faith in our pinkies? sadly not many

The problem with suicide is that a person who kills themself has not yet lived out their 'planned life-time' (which we choose for ourselves inbetween life-times) and has therefore not learnt the lessons they were meant to.
This essentially means that person is going to have to come back and learn those lessons next life-time, as well as any lessons their soul may have planned for them in that next life. I've learnt that the more we avoid these lessons the harder they get, and the more persistant, so that in the end they are far worse than they should have been and completely unavoidable.
As for those who have lost faith... I can't say for certain, all I can say is that I see 'God' as a being that loves all, regardless.

Suicide is a sin but on Judgement day, it is between God and that person. Life is created by God and God alone can take it when time comes.

This is a question that really has us all thinking, you will find so many different opinions on this, I believe God is the only one that truly knows the answer, I always thought that if you killed yourself it would be too late to ask forgiveness because you would not be able to repent of murder, which is what it is, but I do not know, Only God is the Judge.

God forgives anyone who asks. As for suicides? Well the willful taking of life is murder but I also don't think anyone who commits suicide is in their right mind. God knows all hearts and it is between Him and them. If you have lost someone in this manner you have my sympathy and my prayers.

You can't ask for forgiveness for that particular sin
but anyway..it would be between God and that person

He reads all 'hearts and kidneys'.
Since most people commit suicide because of such a downhearted imperfect state, they will be resurrected for a second chance.

His son committed suicide by Roman soldier, so yes he forgives people who off themselves.

No. God doesn't exist.
Do you really think there's some galatic superbeing up there who worries whether you have wishful thinking based on vague old texts about him? Sorry, but it is superstition.
Suicide is tragic, not because some invisible superbeing gets off on torturing those who lack "faith", but because it is a waste of an already short life.
