Holy Crap

. If God knows I'm going to murder someone, because He is omnipotent and outside of time, it is still a sin. I still had the choice to murder or not murder. To kill myself or not to kill myself.
I am a Christian who believes that God gave us all free will but also knows everything. That being said, I do not believe that God condemns those who are suffering (mentally) and takes their own life. Suicide and mental illness are such complex subjects. Being in a suicidal state of mind is not a "choice." Being severely mentally ill is not a choice.

@elidnelson.
and I'm not exactly sure where or if the Bible says that taking your own life is an unforgivable sin.
One of the Ten commandments is
"Tho shall not kill"
.Therefore killing yourself is a
SIN

One of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shall not kill". Therefore killing yourself is a SIN.
It's more specifically "You shall not murder."
As far as killing yourself being a sin, it depends on the individual and the situation, including the light they have (see John 15:22,24). Remember, Samson
intentionally
killed himself when he toppled the support pillars of the Philistine temple to destroy his enemies and thus fulfill his commission from the LORD (Judges 16:25-30). Also, Romans 8:37-39 says: "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that
neither death nor life
, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
."

I read somewhere that religion was created so the poor wouldnt rebel and kill the rich.. meaning enduring a life of struggle sacrifice and pain gets u to heaven where all the good things are.
All I know is religion is like communism.. great in theory but when people and their ego's become involved it all goes down the gurgler.
I laughed when I read your post, redcar, because the idea you've regurgitated, that religion was created to keep the poor down, was spoken by none other than Karl Marx, founder of Communism ('religion is the opiate of the masses').
And in your next sentence you compared Communism to religion.
Yes, yes, I know what you're trying to say, but just wanted to point out the irony. -

These atheists-fundamentalists are even worse then any Christian Orthodox beliver of middle ages.
You may hate religion it is your business but you can not deny other people right to be religious.
As much you hate religion such an idiotic way, others have full right to hate you as an usurpator of their rights.
Do not like the move because of religious material - go away and let others enjoy. -

And you nailed it.

My wife downloaded this on our Xbox and we watched it tonight. Wow that movie was bad. I equate it with some movie I saw where people's canes turned into snakes when thrown at people's necks. The title of this thread is sweet.
