Do people who commit suicide go to heaven?, For the Catholics and stuff, I guess. Options

[*The Markster*]

Forgive me if this is a pretty stupid question, but do people who commit suicide go to heaven? I see how it can be wrong to kill your own self, a creation of God, but doesn't God want us all to be happy? I think .. I wanna know what you guys think.

(Btw, how do I make this into a poll ..)

1. no you don't go to heaven if you commit suicide...because u cannot ask the Lord for forgivness of the sin...and committing suicide is a sin.

2. for those who say God doesn't exist i have a point for u...if something/someone doesnt existing it doesnt have a name, does it? so if God doesn't exist who created the term "God"? if no gods exist who creted the term "demigods"? come on people, have faith that there is more to the existence than yourself and your trials/tribulations.

First of all... Like I said, initially, suicide is self murder. The Bible never says anywhere that if you commit suicide, you cannot enter into Heaven. Also, God allows murderers into Heaven, so, why wouldn't He allow some one who murdered their own selves into Heaven?

Secondly, look at how many gods there are. Are all of them real? Do all of them have names? So, you tell me how your statement makes sense.

Well commiting suicide is killing someone (duh). Therefore, you go against the 10 commandments etc. etc. In other words, you go to hell.

I think it's no different from murder, and it's harder on your loved ones. When someone is murdered by another person, the family that person left has someone to blame and someone to punish, to take their anger and despair out onto. When you commit suicide, it's your fault, therefore your family and loved ones have no one to blame. Sometimes they even blame themselves. It's incredibly selfish, and not to mention stupid.

I think that people take things too literally. Yes, if you believe in the Judeo-Christian God, then you should follow the Ten Commandments, but you have to realize we are humans. Humans make mistakes, therefore it is impossible to follow the Ten Commandments 100 percent correctly. If you read the Bible, it states that all sins expect for blasphemy and homosexuality are pretty much all the same to him. So, if you lied to some one, God sees that equivalently to stealing. Yeah, murder is a little more drastic than stealing or lying, but to God, a sin is a sin, except for those two previously mentioned. So, a person who steals has no chance of entering into Heaven, if this is the case.

So, there's a solution. Salvation. Whenever people think of Christianity, they tend to think about Catholicism. From what I heard, and read at least, Catholics believe that you get to Heaven by your works. If this was the case then everyone would be doomed. Even the
"saints". Everyone has problems with sin. Salvation is actually through Jesus Christ. If you believe that He died for your sins and was risen three days later...you technically are saved from damnation. I know it doesn't seem like much, and it takes alot more than that, but it's through faith, and not works that people are saved from going to Hell.
