Quote from: Andrea Warfare on July 31, 2009, 01:31:38 AMI went to private school for the one year that my mother could afford it in the 7th grade.I got news when I was in class to come down to the principals office immediately. The principal informed me that my uncle had committed suicide. She pretended to care and then "informed" me that he was going to hell for what he did. To this day,I hate that woman and what she said. If God is such a loving God,then why would he send his sick child to burn for eternity. He had a mental illness that controlled his actions he couldn't help it he was very sick. So what does God send Cancer victims to hell too? They can't help that they are sick and the same thing with those who take their lives.Because God is a creator not an active force. He created the active forces and rules that control this earth and every single thing on it and your grandfather was simply in direct breach of one of those rules. Sure it's a bit of a 'bug in the system' and it's incredibly unfair but those forces and rules don't bend mate even if he couldn't help it. The other possiblity is that he didn't go to hell, personally I'm not a big believer in much of what the bible preaches as it reflects the social/cultural/radical beliefs of the time and therefore is a little subjective. However the 10 commandments seem logical and more of a summary or guideline to life's conditions. Some people seem to believe that commiting suicide is in a way, murdering yourself and therefore breaking one of the commandments however there is a possibility that these people are wrong and murder is seen as the act of taking someone life without their consent or similar. In which case, he's where he belongs in heaven.I don't quite understand what you mean about cancer victims? They're not taking their own life but dying 'naturally'...What I mean is that my Uncle did not choose to be Bipolar and Schizophrenic and neither do cancer victims. They are both illnesses...

I've welded in the past, my dad and I took turns but we still both did it for too long. I ended up with skin peeling from everywhere and I couldn't see properly for a week. That may have been because we were using sunnies instead of an actual mask, they really shouldn't just rent welders to whoever can lift them...Darkness awakened could you please expand on your statement? Why is the society of modern day worse than hell? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of hell...

I weld alot, get burnt alot, after a while it dont hurt as bad, dont even notice it much. just an idea.If Hell is the worst torture one could imagine, even the worst life on Earth cannot prepare one for what it holds.

Not based on the modern world. Unless it.. evolves with ours?

Or Aids.... Wait what?
